I've been using cscope (out of advice from Joshua Tolley), and even
better its integration into Emacs which is called xcscope.el --- I
wouldn't have been able to come up with the extension patch series
without that.

And as a quick teaser, the keys I mostly use:
C-c s d cscope-find-global-definition C-c s s cscope-find-this-symbol C-c s f
cscope-find-this-fileC-c s I cscope-index-files
