And this, as Jai said, is indeed what Semantic (a part of CEDET) claims to do. I was wondering whether it is the state of the art or there is a simpler and better successor.
At least in C and C++, tags never miss a definition for me. My only
problem with tags is that they sometimes show me more definitions
other than what I had in mind that match the symbol I type, either
because of case insensitivity or because of partial matches.
