Doesn't ECB off= er pretty good support for C++ anyways? I'm not sure it's an alternative= to EBrowse, but I recall when I was into C/C++ that was the package mos= t Emacs users around me where using for browsing the codebase.

&g= t; Actually, in the time of language servers, ebrowse looks almost embar= rasingly antiquated to me.

Ebrowse is outda= ted and doesn't support current C++ standards.

<= div>It would be nice to have ebrowse updated to support the current leve= l
of the C++ language, or at least close to that.  La= nguage servers are
problematic for Emacs (I can say more i= f you are interested, but there
are lots of discussions to= find on the Internet): their use is
relatively slow, and = some of them present license-related issues.  In
any = case, we don't yet have built-in support for them in Emacs (the
package Eglot is supposed to be that, but it is not yet in core).<= br>

So it would be nice to have a reasonably us= eful local solution, if
possible.  But if you think t= here's no hope for that to happen with
ebrowse, I won't ob= ject obsoleting ebrowse.c and ebrowse.el.
