GitHub Copilot CLI has introduced whole codebase indexing for faster analysis of C++ projects
GitHub Copilot CLI has introduced whole codebase indexing for C++ projects – a persistent symbol index across the entire codebase that speeds up searches for definitions, references, and symbols. The feature is enabled by default; in large repositories, initial indexing requires more time and memory.
Teams developing large C++ projects with GitHub Copilot CLI can expect faster responses from code navigation features (finding definitions, references, and symbols), which may reduce the time developers spend finding their way around large codebases. The benefit primarily applies to companies with large or highly interconnected C++ repositories.
