That one only does completion. It was more or less a proof-of-concept
and I'm not sure if it's working with latest clang binaries. This is
also the reason why this feature isn't available in the CEDET version
that ships with Emacs.
Regarding the OP's mail: There are already projects out there using
libclang for code completion and navigation:
https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags
https://github.com/Golevka/emacs-clang-complete-async
I did look into using libclang and also libtooling for better C++
support in CEDET. Its main drawback is that it isn't fault-tolerant at
all. If you're editing a C++ file and an #include cannot be found, or a
closing brace is missing, you cannot get a proper AST to visit. Also, I
think libtooling is more flexible than libclang, but compiling stuff
with it is *really* cumbersome.
What I would be very interested in is to have a parser based on libclang
or libtooling, which can output a simplified AST from C++ files. Maybe I
should just try gcc-xml again...
