symbol

Find all references to a symbol

The input position should point to the identifier of the symbol you want to get the references for.

Returns a list of locations where the symbol at the given position is referenced.

The returned positions point to the start of the reference identifier.

e.g. for User on line 0 of src/main.py:

 0: class User:
 input____^^^^
 1:     def __init__(self, name, age):
 2:         self.name = name
 3:         self.age = age
 4:
 5: user = User("John", 30)
 output____^
