I tried semantic but couldn't really get it to work. You might ask on their mailing list as I think thats the only route. I have a nasty feeling that using emacs as a C/C++ IDE might be coming to the end of the road as it falls behind in many of the features (code completion, refactoring for an example) that more modern IDEs like Eclipse provides. The maintainer of ecb as good as said the same. A shame.
