I have not tried on big projects, but I use cscope  on C++ in my hobby
project compiler, which uses limited C++11 features, and it's not failing
in any obvious way for this use-case. But llvm is "out of tree", and I
typically use google and the online doxygen pages for LLVM searches.

My main use is in my day-job, which is nearly all C, so C++11 is not a big
issue - but the build we use has all of clang and llvm in the sources, and
cscope is not failing in any obvious way, and I can search for "getType"
and it finds a load of them. But I'm sure there may be more subtle things
that I don't notice because when I use cscope in this project, I'm
typically searching for C symbols, not C++ things.

Sorry, my "sarcasticly pointing out the pointlessness of a editor
flame-war" obviously didn't have the (right) sarcasm font... ;)

I've been old quite some time now... ;)
