Hi Manuel,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your fast answer. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From what you're saying it sounds like LibTooling is indeed the place for me to start. I don't want to reinvent the wheel by doing stuff with LibClang for which it wasn't made, so maybe I have to swallow the red pill and dig into LibTooling. I will, however,
take a final look at LibClang - if the only parts that are missing are the rewriting functions, doing it in Python might still deliver first results faster... </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Having said that, do you know of any efforts to have LibTooling bindings for Python as well? From the tools documentation website I understood that since LibTooling has not (yet?) reached a stable interface, no one bothered to start with one, but you never
know before you ask ;-) </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>As far as I know nobody is working on python bindings for LibTooling - as we're an open source project, we need to find somebody for whom it's high enough on the prio list to contribute ;)</div>

<div dir="ltr">As David says, LibTooling was made for this task - I myself don't have a deep understanding of how easy those things would be to do with libclang - you might need to expose some interfaces that are not exposed yet (that might be a great contribution
to the clang community if you happen to try that route ;)

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.

<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>
