command line c++ browsing tools

anyone know of c++ command-line tools for browsing call-graphs / classes etc... the sort of thing that makes dev-studio so powerfull, but running from the command line... e.g. enter a command to dump a class definition or function prototype. i've seen 'c-tags'. seems to me that in the spirit of the 'bazaar' development model, if there was a linux ide it would ideallly be a gui that calls such things as components... rather than a single monolithic, centrally controlled program that does all this. as mentioned in earlier posts this question originates from wanting a decent development enviroment running on minimalistic hardware such as an asus eee pc :)

interesting, thanks. in the office - MS orientated dev - we recently moved to 'JAM' for building multiplatform apps. So it seems, one should always have a COMMAND LINE enviroment which the IDE is an INTERFACE to, and no more. i'm thinking for the 'open source' - 'bizaar model' of software developmnent to work, the imperative is "improve simpler tools to make all complex/proprietary tools irrelevant" The thread mentions IDE's handling various linux configs... thats a job for config files, not the IDE :) The IDE's job is:- [1] source level debugging (debugging in EDITOR windows.. so how about making editors handle signals to/from gdb, like emacs does..) ... or making an interface for one app to display overlays on another or something... [2] intellisense... [3] managing configs/compiler settings etc... does this have to be in the above? - you can get these from SAMPLE CODE for individual libraries? so we need JAM plus 'better text editors' plus "window manager with dev-studios's tiling" plus better config files ? i guess the IDE is in my 'firing line' for things to 'destroy if possible' because .. [1] to this day i miss codewright/breif windowing and hence don't want an IDE doing this job. [2] i've worked on projects where team consensus has avoided solutions that work in the C/C++ language because they break intellisense! (backward thinking) i.e. xmacros, and some templates. the IDE is less important than the project. so it's an imperative for open source to find ways of making IDE's less important?

Just found this 'global' thing http://www.gnu.org/software/global/ Seems to be an improved ctags, and it has something for converting source code to HTML with links for easy navigation in a browser. Thought that would be likely to exist somewhere :)
