On the Geany editor there is symbol tab which when you pass one C program to Geany it shows all functions and classes and variables and macros in the list . So is there any ability like that in VIM? If you have no the idea about symbol in the Geany look here.

The word you are searching for is called Outline in Eclipse, Navigator in Netbeans and Source Code Browser in Gedit.

A common program that creates this tree is CTAGS. The most common used is exuberant CTAGS http://ctags.sourceforge.net/. It does support 41 languages including C.

Here a tutorial how to combine it with vim:
