Can i look at values of constants or expressions, probably from an another file, say a header or somthing, using emacs. I guess it would involve going going through all the #defines or constructs in the header files ?
Yes, you can use Emacs as a programming environment. The C major mode of Emacs can do syntax highlighting and auto-indentation. You can use gdb debugger within emacs to look at the values of constants, evaluate expressions etc. or trace the program execution.
Please refer to _Linux_Programming_Bible_ by John Goerzen. It has an excellent explanation of how to use gcc compiler, gdb debugger, and GNU Make utility to maintain groups of programs(aka projects), all within the Emacs environment.
