sorry for my poor english.  
In vscode when I hove on svd function,it display a window about function instruction,I get this

````julia
svd!(A; full::Bool = false, alg::Algorithm = default_svd_alg(A)) -> SVD
svd! is the same as svd, but saves space by overwriting the input A, instead of creating a copy. See documentation of svd for details. ```

svd!(A, B) -> GeneralizedSVD
svd! is the same as svd, but modifies the arguments A and B in-place, instead of making copies. See documentation of svd for details. ```

LinearAlgebra.svd! is a Function. 4 methods for function LinearAlgebra.svd!

````

why there is the red color text link “D:\buildbot\worker\package\_win64\build\usr\share\julia\stdlib\v1.5\LinearAlgebra\src\triangular.jl:2672”  
in my computer ,there no such directory `d:\buildbot\worker\package-win64\build`  
when I click this link, can’t not open this link.  
How can I link to the correct src file position in vscode

zeros round function can display the right source code file position and svd eigen function can not display

It looks like VSCode is using the path to the precompiled `svd!` (hence the buildbot directory). You may have to use `@edit svd!` (providing the args that you want so you get the right method) instead.  
This may be worth filing an issue for.
