As an alternative you can give a try to eclim. It supports the 
following features for C++:


Context sensitive code completion.
Searching.
Source code validation.

AFAIK the emacs eclim interface supports only Java currently,
but if you know Elisp then it should not be hard to add
C++ too (the infrastructure is there, you only have to add
the calls for the C++ commands of the eclim interface).
