How to force refresh outline?

I am working with a project control in Git. This peoject has many branchs, and I need to work with most of them.
When I checkout to another branch, outline stay with the pre outline.

So, how to force refresh outline?

The file watcher is supposed to detect the file changes and reparse the files and cause the outline to update. If not, you can try running the C/C++: Rescan Workspace command from the Command Palette. Does that work?

Okay, I reproed the issue -- VS Code isn't sending us a provideDocumentSymbols request until you close/reopen the document. I don't know yet if there's a way for us to trigger that event ourselves.

Rescan Workspace command is useful. It just need one more step: close current file and reopen it, otherwise outline will show "can not find symbol"
