Report index progress in BackgroundIndex

[hokein]

Would be nice to emit messages like [number of processed files/number of total files] Indexing file .....

Fixed in llvm/llvm-project@7d20e80.

I stumbled over this Issue while trying to figure out how to view the background index's status in Remote VS Code. Is this possible? Thank you for any help!

Yeah, it is possible either in local or remote VSCode.

If the background indexing is being built, you should be able to see the progress in the VSCode status bar.

The tricky part is that if the indexing is finished, the progressing item on status bar will be disappeared, this is not ideal though. So if you don't see the progressing item, you can assume the background indexing is finished.
