[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] codenav: switch to header/implementation switches to wrong file (#594)

[elextr]

There is no reason that the `.h` is in the same directory as the `.c`.  There is a common idiom where the `.h` files are in a directory called `include`, not in the source directory called `src`.  Enforcing the same directory would not find the `.h` files in this case.

Geany does not understand the compile commands (and doesn't even know them if you use make or similar) so it can't check the include directories used by the compiler.  Heavyweight IDEs like Eclipse or Visual Studio understand the build commands (and constrain you to using the ones they do understand) and so can be more accurate.
