Hi David,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the fast reply. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From your description I infer that clang-fixit is a tool for enforcing a certain naming convention, rather than changing specific names, or did I misunderstand you? </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's correct - but it has the same challenges in terms of resizing names, etc.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, maybe it could be a place for me to start looking for ideas... The only reference I found to clang-fixit is <a href="http://llvm-reviews.chandlerc.com/D51" target="_blank">http://llvm-reviews.chandlerc.com/D51</a>, but nothing in the llvm or clang/extra repository. Could you tell me where I can find more information
on it? </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hmm, perhaps it hasn't really been started yet. Sorry for the red herring.<br><br>I would guess clang-migrate would be the next best tool to look at. It does various code changes and deals with reformatting the resulting code, etc.</div>

Betreff: [cfe-dev] LibTooling vs. LibClang+Python for simple refactoring <br></div><div>
<br>
<br>
<div>Tooling, specifically the clang-fixit till is one place sheet efforts are being made to apply these kinds of refractoriness (specifically clang-fixit would apply predefined naming convention rules, rather than user specified renaming).<br>
<br>
One of the things that tooling might help you with would be the necessary reformatting (clang-format) and build/source discovery.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Hi everyone,</p>
<p dir="ltr">For our research group, I need to get started with some relatively simple refactoring tasks in a modestly complex C++ project. The goal is to have a tool that (in the beginning) is good for at least two things:<br>
- renaming member variables/methods<br>
- replacing member variable access by getters/setters</p>
<p dir="ltr">After the extremely positive experiences I've had with clang (and since the IDE tools I tried failed for our project), I'd like to utilize the clang infrastructure for this task. However, in the very beginning I already face the problem of where
I should start:</p>
<p dir="ltr">On the one hand, LibTooling seems to be the interface of choice when it comes to refactoring code (it's one of the canonical examples on
<a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/Tooling.html" target="_blank">http://</a><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/Tooling.html" target="_blank">clang.llvm.org</a><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/Tooling.html" target="_blank">/docs/</a><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/Tooling.html" target="_blank">Tooling.html</a>).
On the other hand libclang seems to be easier to use, has Python bindings, and from the outset looks like it could be already sufficient for the task at hand.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Do you have any experience/recommendations for which library is the one to use in this case?</p>
