Cscope is another light and fast (compared to IDE) alternative
http://cscope.sourceforge.net/
cscope is a kind of old-school age too:
"Joe Steffen first started writing cscope in the early 1980's [...] on
on a PDP-11"

Works nicely from within emacs/xemacs using xscope
Works with vim too: http://cscope.sourceforge.net/cscope_vim_tutorial.html
