[Github-comments] [geany] CPP suggest and highlight methods from STL (#876)

[elextr]

Have you tried the tags files on the wiki?

Geany does not parse non-global declarations in any language.  

To do so would require a lot more knowledge about the user environment, for C++ that means all of the includes, which means all of the `-I` options in the compile, which means knowing the compile command, knowing and parsing which makefile is being used, which gets you to a heavyweight IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans.  But even those have the problem " oh you don't use a makefile, you use cmake, or scons or something else ... tough". 

Also your example requires knowledge of the type of the expression `a[0]` which means knowing about instantiating the `vector` template which means knowing pretty much all the C++ compiler knows.

Geany itself will almost certainly never do any of these things, but an experiment some time ago showed that it would be possible to use a plugin with `LibClang`, but "somebody" has to do it.
