If you're familiar with kdevelop, you might want to look into  
kscope.  It's a leaner version, designed for C projects.  It really  
helps when you're trying to familiarize yourself with a large code  
base (like Asterisk).  If you find that you're often asking "where is  
this function/structure defined?" or "where is this function  
called?", then kscope might be a better tool for you.
