e.g. 'find all times the field 'next' of structure 'struct foo' is used'

In fact, any decent IDE will do this. (The C preprocessor makes it almost impossible for any automated system to be 100% correct for C and C++, but for languages like Java and C# it's straightforward. An IDE might allow a simple right-click and 'find references' from the menu).
