Issue ID: 13213
Summary: Make 'go to definition' play nicer with extern(C)
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: VisualD
Assignee: [email protected]

In C/C++, there are 2 features, 'go to declaration' (ctrl-alt-F12) and 'go to
definition' (F12), one generally takes you to the header file, the other takes
you to the code.
In VisualD, there only seems to be 'go to definition' (F12), this makes sense
for D code, since there are no headers, but it's not so helpful with extern(C)
functions.
It is very common to have VisualD projects alongside C/C++ projects.
Would it be possible to detect extern(C) functions, and make 'go to definition'
go to the function definition in the C code instead of the D prototype?
For completeness, it would be nice to offer 'go to declaration' (ctrl-alt-F12)
also in these cases, which would go to the prototype in the D code, just like
jumping to the header in C.
