OmniCppComplete works with C and C++, and it does a great job in
completing field and member information, which is completely contextual
(it depends on the type of the definition of what comes before the '->'
or '.' operator after which you are trying to complete).
AFAICS the standard vim completion feature does not even attempt this
(or anyway it fails in doing so).

It changed nothing...

I mean, I did the following (I have expert mode on):
- go near the place where I wanted to edit my C file,
- press esc (cursor changes shape), type ":set noinsertmode" and then
enter,
- press esc again,
- edit the source and try to complete.
The result was exactly as before.

I also tried giving the ":set noinsertmode" command just before trying
to complete, with the same result.

So I still have this plugin that works with plain vim and not with
cream :-(

I'll follow your advice and ask the pluging author as well.

Thanks!
