feature request: Parameter Hints shown inline all the time (like IntelliJ)

[dwlsalmeida]

Hello,

There has been extensive discussion over this issue here: microsoft/vscode#16221

I noticed rust-analyzer provides similar functionality for rust, see https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2771466/71774757-54269200-2fc8-11ea-8505-ac2f326761ca.png

I wonder whether it is possible to implement support for this in vscode-clangd for C/C++? I noticed that this already happens when you first type a function, but what I am looking for is something that is shown inline all the time.

It should be possible. It needs server-side support, which is tracked in clangd/clangd#313.

For the record, there is an LSP proposal: microsoft/language-server-protocol#956.

This has been implemented on both the server side (in clangd 14) and client side (vscode-clangd 0.1.14, controlled via editor.inlayHints.enabled); I think the issue can be closed.
