Is there a working C++ refactoring tool? [closed]

Answer 1

Currently I can't recommend any refactoring tool for C++, certainly not for large code bases of 100k lines and above. I've been hoping this will change, like the OP, and I hope one day there will be something. I fear that the language itself might have to change significantly before we see any really good tools.

btw, has SlickEdit dropped its refactoring features?

Answer 2

The DMS software rengineering toolkit does this I think. It is a code transformation engine, designed for large scale and handles C++. Have no idea how elegant the output is though.

Answer 3

One surely has to mention Klocwork as a commercial code refactoring suite. It does look very promising when you go through the demo video.

Answer 4

There is now a C++ refactoring extension for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/164904b2-3b47-417f-9b6b-fdd35757d194

Answer 5

If your looking to reengineer your codebase: MOOSE. But that's a large collection of analysis and reengineering tools, not an editor.
