Xcode is really only usable for Objective-C, C and Swift its support for C++ e.g. simple things like formatting and definitions and debugging for C++ are as you note are just poor

Visual Studio does treat C++ as a first class language (I suspect because that was the first non C language it supported and Windows apps used C++ in the 1990s)

I would try Clion for C++ if you can't use VS. Eclipse was reasonable 15 years ago when Apple used gcc.
