    Oh, I forgot to mention, I have also found dumb-jump to work pretty well for Xcode projects, with no configuration.

    I don't really have any trouble using Emacs on the "modern" C++ codebases that I'm working on. I've tried lsp-mode and eglot with clangd but found that really all I need is a little bit of elisp to call clang-format, dumb-jump (<https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump>) to jump to definition, and project-compile to build the project and collect warnings/errors into a buffer.

    > 2. No language server (apparently it's just impossible due to the way the language works). Tbh, I'd be happy with just "Go to definition" but alas, no-can-do!

    Emacs' dumb-jump appears to have some basic support for go to definition: https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump/blob/master/dumb-jump...

    But out of curiosity, what is the issue from a technical point of view?

    For jumping between function definitions I use dumb-jump, which usually just works. I configure dumb-jump to use ag for its searching which makes it work very quickly.

    Mark ring may be what you want. If you want to jump around a code base, Dumb Jump is great: https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

    dumb-jump: another tool based on ripgrep, this one defines regexes for what definitions look like in a bunch of languages. This gives you a primitive jump-to-def functionality without any setup (except installing ripgrep). The pros and cons are roughly the same as rg.el and deadgrep: you might not jump to exactly the thing you want (if there are multiple choices, you can select the definition you prefer), but it requires no setup and is pretty fast.

    https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump could help, you can set the main directory with dumb jump and let it match definitions and guess in which file a function exists

    https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump (with ripgrep or git grep) is also very good for large projects where lsp servers struggle.

    While I have no idea about tags, I want to say that you may find something as simple as dumb-jump[1] does what you want most of the time.
