Add support for Ctrl + Click Go to definition for functions and macros

[gudnimg]

When I define a function or macro in .cmake or CMakeLists.txt file I cannot use CTRL + Left Click to see the function definition. I am specifically thinking of this: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/editingevolved#_go-to-definition

I didn't find a similar issue for this.

Platform and Versions

• CMake Version: 3.19.3
• VSCode Version: 1.52.1

Other Notes/Information

I am using WSL on Windows. (Ubuntu 20.04)

Thank you for this feature request. Currently, language service features for the CMake language are not on our road map.
We will gladly accept help from the community for this.
Here's a similar GitHub report that is also about CMake langauge services: #534.

Thanks for the reply, I have twxs.cmake installed and it doesn't support this either. https://github.com/twxs/vs.language.cmake the repo hasn't been updated in 15 months and has numerous syntax highlighting issues.

[andreeis]

I understand. I hope we'll have resources to address this scenario as well at some point. Until then, maybe someone in the community will step up.

@andreeis Do you have any plans to integrate twxs functionality in this extension?
I think that having everything under a single umbrella makes sense now.

[andreeis]

Integration not yet, but we are currently testing a change that would cause the twxs extension to be recommended by VSCode when opening CMake projects, same way CMake Tools is recommended.
