Starting from a contact ID, i need to find all the groups to which the contact belongs.
I know that i can use api GroupContact but it doesn't work for smart groups (in CiviCRM 4.5)
Is there any api calls that will retrieve all groups at once ? Otherwise, what would be the best way ?
To get the Groups, you can use the GroupContact API
$result = civicrm_api3('GroupContact', 'get', array(
'sequential' => 1,
'contact_id' => <contact_id>,
));
To get all the smart groups to which the contact belongs, you can use this BAO function defined in GroupContactCache.php
$smartGroup = CRM_Contact_BAO_GroupContactCache::contactGroup($contactId);
returned $smartGroup will be the list of smart_groups for the contactId passed
civicrm_group_contact does not have an entry for smart groups with status Added as it does other normal groups.

If you mean the api call "civicrm_api3_group_contact_get($params)" where you are passing contact_id, I think it will return all groups, whether 'Smart' or not - did you try it? That call just passes contact_id and if status is 'added' it should return the group
I am almost sure that the API GroupContact also returns Smart Group membership, my recommendation would be to test.
