Doesn't ECB offer pretty good support for C++ anyways? I'm not sure it's an alternative to EBrowse, but I recall when I was into C/C++ that was the package most Emacs users around me where using for browsing the codebase. Haven't used ECB in over a decade, though, so I'm not sure what's its status these days.
