I don't use CDT, but for Java you can set up auto-activation triggered
by whatever characters you want (the default is .). In Preferences, go
to Java > Editor > Content Assist. CDT probably has a similar option.
As for acronyms, the closest thing is editor templates. I use code
templates, defined in Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates. For
example, I can type "lazy: followed by Ctrl+Space and it inserts the
template for a lazy-initializing getter. It's not quite as context-aware
as what you're describing, but somewhat similar. I don't know of any
plugin that does exactly what you describe, but hey, that's an
opportunity for you to learn plugin development and contribute such a
thing! :-)
