Go to Symbol in File... is extraordinarily slow. #1472

Description

I'm coming from Sublime Text, so maybe I'm a bit spoiled in this regard, but one of the main features I use in Sublime Text is searching for symbols. VS Code has this feature, but for some reason it takes an extremely long time for any symbols to be found in my project. The project is massive, and some files can be quite large themselves, however this happens even with small files (e.g. < 400 lines) and seems like it should be a pretty standard procedure no matter the project size.

  • VSCode Version: 1.19.2
  • OS Version: Windows 7 x64
  • C/C++ Extension Version: 0.14.6

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a .cpp file with function definitions inside (obviously don't open a blank .cpp file)
  2. Go > Go to Symbol in File...
  3. If it is the first time running this, no symbols will be found (esc. and try step 2 again)
  4. Wait for symbols to be parsed - it will sit there searching for a long time
