There seems to be an issue with certain C++ IDEs (Eclipse and Emacs with
XRefactory) in dealing with symbols defined in included header files. Not
custom headers like "MyHeader.hpp"; rather system headers like <string> or
<iostream>.

For instance, if I type this much code into one of the aforementioned editors:

  string foo = "hello world";
  cout << foo.

I would like to be able to get a list of completions for the string class,
like length(), at(), etc. But I get nothing.

I looked at string.h and found a possible reason why. This file contains
nothing except more #include directives. length(), at() and the other
methods are defined in other header files. All the C++ header files are like
this.

Is there a nice Linux C++ IDE that overcomes this limitation?
