================
Comment at: clang-tools-extra/clangd/index/SymbolCollector.cpp:280
       (Roles & static_cast<unsigned>(index::SymbolRole::Reference)) &&
-      SM.getFileID(SpellingLoc) == SM.getMainFileID())
+      SM.getFileID(SM.getSpellingLoc(Loc)) == SM.getMainFileID())
     ReferencedDecls.insert(ND);

- What are the assumptions that it will break?
- What is rationale for using spelling locations for ranking and file location for references?

It would be nice to have this spelled out somewhere in the code, too. Currently this looks like an accidental inconsistency. Especially given that `getFileLoc` and `getSpellingLoc` are often the same.
