Many years ago, when working on at a company with a huge legacy C/C++ codebase, one of the coworkers recommended I try out Source Insight[0]. After tweaking a few of the settings, it blew any other IDE out of the water. The ability to just click on a symbol and immediately see all the xrefs at the bottom was super helpful. IIRC it's also commonly used by security researchers to find their way through a new project.
