As well as tags and cscope you should look at xref. Far and away better
than anything else out there I think for code navigation with emacs. 

http://www.xref.sk/xrefactory/main.html

The C version is free now.

In addition there is ecb and semantic - it can get confusing as to what
is what as there are so many options! Unfortunately I think you might be
a little disappointed as the features do not compare to things like
Visual Studio and Eclipse in my opinion.
