Emacs X11 autocompletion (intellisense)

Question

I use visual studio for day to day programming (read putting food in my mouth) but for personal programming (read c/c++ hacking) I use Emacs.

Right now I am doing a programming exercise involving the X11 API. I am continually referring to the programming API manual to find the signature of function calls.

What would be really nice would be if there was an emacs alternative to the visual studio intellisense. I know there is autocompletion for the language specifics.

Is there such an extension available to Emacs? Or if not, is there way of creating one, maybe using the language specifics mechanism already used for auto completion?

Answer 1

Check out : http://cedet.sourceforge.net/intellisense.shtml if that would work for you.

Answer 2

Check out autocomplete.el, combine it with CEDET and you've got yourself true drop-down box intellisense-style completions.
