First of all I just found out that last 2 releases of CPP help QCH are BUGGY! Please see:

Regarding libc++/Clang F1 context help, here is what I found:

(1) When using libstc++ F1-ing on is_open of some ifstream instance triggers „std::basic_ifstream::is_open” search
(2) When using libc++ with Clang it looks up for „std::___LIBCPP_ABI_VERSION::basic_ifstream::is_open”

This is due libc++ adds version to the symbols so in theory we can have program running using libraries linked to different C++ stdlibs.

Anyway here is simple fix for all Clang Mac users, just fire sqlite3 on .qch file and run following SQL:

	insert into IndexTable (Name, Identifier, NamespaceId, FileId, Anchor) select Name, replace(Identifier, 'std::', 'std::___LIBCPP_ABI_VERSION::'), NamespaceId, FileId, Anchor from IndexTable;


I gonna write about this to the QCH author too.
