It somewhat works, but ctags is pretty awful even in C when compared to something like youcompleteme, XCode or Visual Studio. In my opinion, the need to generate tags and the occasional inaccurate results (missing completions, or invalid ones) is more of a productivity loss than lack of completion will ever be :P.
