Better jump to definition for implementations of a protocol

[MahdiBM]

Consider this code:

protocol TestProtocol {
    func doThing()
}

struct TestImpl: TestProtocol { 
    func doThing() { }
}

func anyTestProtocol(value: any TestProtocol) {
    value.doThing()
}

Using VSCode with SSWG Swift extension, in value.doThing(), when you right click on doThing() to jump to definition, it'll just automatically jump to the protocol. This seems to be a SourceKit-LSP limitation.

Xcode/sourcekitd though is more smart about it and lets you choose between the protocol or one of the implementations:

sourcekit-lsp should report the secondary symbols returned by the sourcekitd cursor info response.

@ahoppen I assume that's just a note tracking the progress of the issue? Or do I need to do something? 🙂

Oh, no, that’s just a note of what we should do to fix this.
