    As @jww said in a comment: have a look at ctags or the more elaborate: cscope, both of which are usable for completion in vim.

    Specifically have a look at cscope’s scanner which uses flex to create a scanner that identifies token types.

    shell script to extract all functions except constructor and destructor from XYZ.cpp:

    ctags -x XYZ.cpp | grep function | awk '{print $6}' | grep "XYZ" | awk -F'::' '{print $2}' | awk -F'(' '{print $1}'
