What language?

I too have been struggling with the CEDET package, but its kind on in a
transitory phase at the moment I think. I am currently waiting on Eric,
the maintainer, to get back to me with some ideas on how to get
completion working for the Linux system files - it seems not to work as
advertised at the moment with some inconsistencies between system
includes, system database, ebrowse and semantic parsers.

Have you hippie-expand? That is good for "in file" completion.
