If "PCS" is "completion support" then yes. 

Another thing I'm interested in is C++ refactoring, and the requires
information about variables and function *bodies* in general, that gccxml
does not provide. 

It's somewhat depressing that there's no open-source C++ parser with a nice
interface that understand of all the language.
