:program:`clang-rename` is a clang-based C++ "linter" tool. Its purpose is to
|
|
perform efficient renaming actions in large-scale projects such as renaming
|
|
classes, functions, variables, arguments, namespaces etc.
|
|
|
|
The tool is in a very early development stage, so you might encounter bugs and
|
|
crashes. Submitting reports with information about how to reproduce the issue
|
|
to `the LLVM bugtracker <https://llvm.org/bugs>`_ will definitely help the
|
|
project. If you have any ideas or suggestions, you might want to put a feature
|
|
request there.

Using clang-rename
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` is a `LibTooling
|
|
<http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LibTooling.html>`_-based tool, and it's easier to
|
|
work with if you set up a compile command database for your project (for an
|
|
example of how to do this see `How To Setup Tooling For LLVM
|
|
<http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html>`_). You can also
|
|
specify compilation options on the command line after ``--``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename -offset=42 -new-name=foo test.cpp -- -Imy_project/include -DMY_DEFINES ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get an offset of a symbol in a file run
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ grep -FUbo 'foo' file.cpp
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tool currently supports renaming actions inside a single Translation Unit
|
|
only. It is planned to extend the tool's functionality to support multi-TU
|
|
renaming actions in the future.
|
|
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` also aims to be easily integrated into popular text
|
|
editors, such as Vim, and improve the workflow of users.
|
|
|
|
Although a command line interface exists, it is highly recommended to use the
|
|
text editor interface instead for better experience.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename -help
|
|
OVERVIEW: A tool to rename symbols in C/C++ code.
|
|
clang-rename renames every occurrence of a symbol found at <offset> in
|
|
<source0>. If -i is specified, the edited files are overwritten to disk.
|
|
Otherwise, the results are written to stdout.
|
|
|
|
USAGE: clang-rename [subcommand] [options] <source0> [... <sourceN>]
|
|
|
|

|
-extra-arg=<string> - Additional argument to append to the compiler command line
|
|
-extra-arg-before=<string> - Additional argument to prepend to the compiler command line
|
|
-i - Overwrite edited <file>s.
|
|
-new-name=<string> - The new name to change the symbol to.
|

clang-rename Vim integration
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
You can call :program:`clang-rename` directly from Vim! To set up
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` integration for Vim see
|
|
`clang-rename/tool/clang-rename.py
|
|
<http://reviews.llvm.org/diffusion/L/browse/clang-tools-extra/trunk/clang-rename/tool/clang-rename.py>`_.
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you can point your cursor to the symbols you want to rename,
|
|
press `,cr` and print new desired name.
|
|
|
|
Please note that **you have to save all buffers, in which the replacement will
|
|
happen before running the tool**.
