Out of curiosity, I've had a look at lsp-mode.el. It does not use
'symbol/workspace', rather 'textDocument/documentSymbol'. So C-u
M-. provides a complete list of symbols upfront. But -- crucially --
that list is limited to contain symbols for the current document only .
So, at first glance, I'd say it's lsp-mode who is missing (lots and lots
of) symbols.
In contrast, Eglot's C-u M-. reaches all the symbols in the whole
project, a much better implementation of 'xref-find-deinitions' IMNSHO.
In a large project, like LLVM, using Eglot in combination with something
like `M-x fido-vertical-mode` gives you an interactive incremental
completion interface that is able reach millions of symbols across in
thousands of C++ files.
