XCode is mostly useless.  It knows source code syntax but not the data 
structures that it correlates to.

I use Eclipse for Java but the C++ editor seems to be coming along 
nicely.  I just opened a test C++ project and it had deep source 
analysis.  It could show the value of each macro and it grayed out 
source that was omitted from conditionals.
