SourceBrowser

The SourceBrowser is an interactive tool to aid programmers in the development and maintenance of software systems, particularly large ones. Because the SourceBrowser builds a database and uses it to respond to queries, once the database it built, the size of the code you are browsing has minimal impact on SourceBrowser's speed.

SourceBrowser can find all occurrences of any symbol of your choice, including those found in header files. It can be used from either a command-line or window environment.

SourceBrowser uses a "what-you-see-is-what-you-browse" paradigm. The source code you manipulate is the same source code SourceBrowser uses in its searches, hence you can edit code from within the SourceBrowser itself.

SourceBrowser is designed to be used with multiple languages. In addition to C, it can be used with FORTRAN and C++, or with (SPARC) Pascal.
