Unexpected behaviour with C/C++ extension and typedef

[Jamen1993]

• GitLens Version: 8.4.0
• VSCode Version: 1.24.1
• OS Version: W10 1803

I use GitLens together with Microsofts C/C++ extension and it shows file edit information before each typedef. I'm not sure whether this is intended behaviour but I don't think so.

Can you try setting "gitlens.debug": true and then send a screen shot of those code lens again? That will give the type of symbol of that type and it can be turned off directly.

Hi eamodio,

please excuse that it took me so long to collect the requested screens.

Is this what you need?

[eamodio]

Yes thank you. It seems a bit odd to me that the C++ language server is using SymbolKind.Class for all those (rather than SymbolKind.Enum and SymbolKind.Struct), but regardless the issue would be largely the same.

While it would affect more than just these typedefs you can turn off the code lens on the container scope by setting "gitlens.codeLens.scopes"= ["document"].

Or you add to the gitlens.codeLens.scopesByLanguage setting to only set the document scope for "language": "cpp"

{
    "language": "cpp",
    "scopes": [
        "document"
    ]
},

Or you add to the gitlens.codeLens.scopesByLanguage setting to only unset the Class symbol for "language": "cpp"

{
    "language": "cpp",
        "symbolScopes": [
            "!Class"
        ]
},

Maybe once https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/34968 lands and the language services provide more information I might be able to do more here to improve this behavior.

Depends on: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/57984

I'm having a similar issue with using MyFunctionType = std::function<void()>; I get author + date information above each such line.
