Can similar functionality be available for CDT editors?

In theory, yes, but it would require a lot of work, including a change to the snippet format; currently, we make some language-specific assumptions about the code (you can either be in a class body, method body, or Javadoc, for example). Also, the "Create Snippet" [from selection] feature alone would be a challenge to implement, in particular as none of the core developers is really familiar with CDT and it's language model.

Flagging this as "help wanted".

FYI, Bug 484013 (the feature is already available in the current Mars.2 RC) makes Snipmatch completion available in any text editor; the only thing missing is support for C/C++ specific template variables.
