reftex+cc mode?

reftex+cc mode?

[Jeff D. Hamann]

I'm not sure how uncool this question is, but...

Are there any emacs packages, modes, anything that allows people to navigate 
around in a c/c++/fortran/etc. file with the ease of moving around a LaTeX 
in reftex?

For example, out of habit this afternoon, I wanted to navigate around in a 
couple of source code files, and intsinctively hit reftex's C-c = 
(reftex-toc) thinking I would have a list of functions and that I could 
simply move to the function, variable definition, etc. I wanted, hit return 
and get to work. I then thought, huh, that would be a great package to be 
able to navigate around in a software project much like I do in latex/sweave 
projects.

Is there anything like this? I've never gotten ECB to work (win32 problem, 
dependencies, etc.?) and I don't know of a way to automagically generate 
TAGS files, but think this would be dreamy!

Novicely,
Jeff.

There are lots of code navigators such as you describe.

Check out "tags" in the Emacs manual, also. Very powerful.
