Not as similar as the Cedet tree view that Vlad mentioned, but Distel
lets you navigate by jumping from a function call to that function's
definition (and back again) in Emacs, like "tags" but without needing
a TAGS file.

If you use source code for documentation, this is also an online help
system. ;-)
