C/C++ Typedef Hover

A Visual Studio Code extension that provides enhanced hover information for typedef definitions in C and C++ files. When hovering over a type identifier, this extension shows the complete type definition with source location links.

Features

This extension adds enhanced hover functionality for C and C++ files:

• Shows complete typedef definitions when hovering over custom types
• Displays the full type definition including nested structures
• Provides direct links to type definitions in source code
• Supports multi-line typedef declarations
• Handles complex type definitions with nested braces

For example, when you hover over a custom type:

typedef struct {
    int x;
    int y;
} Point;

Point p; // Hover over "Point" to see the complete definition

The hover tooltip will show:

• A link to the type definition location
• The complete type definition in a formatted code block

Usage

1. Open a C or C++ file
2. Hover over any custom type or variable
3. The hover tooltip will display the complete type definition if available
