how to parse C++ code symbols completely in Source Insight

I am reading gcc stdlibc++'s source code in Source Insight, but many symbols are not parsed. When I want to see some functions or class definitions, it throws an error saying "symbols not found". For example, I am reading "shared_ptr.h", but I cannot Jump To Defination of class _Sp_counted_base even it is defined, and many other symbols are not loaded in the Symbol Window too(just as you see on the left side of the source code)

enter image description here

My project's root directory was set correctly and all files were added into project. I tried to synchronize all the files, but failed to solve it.

So, what caused the inability to correctly parse symbols, and what I should do to solve the problem?

I don't know how your project is structured. If the symbol you're missing is from a compiler lib, like GCC, you need to create a new project with all the h files from the compiler install dir, and later add it (the project) as additional symbols in the project settings (look for "import symbols").

Sometimes a declaration of a symbol uses a macro that interferes with the parsing, you need to add the macro the C.tom file so the parser will disregard it. Look for token file in the SI help.
