Does anyone have any experience with good C++ refactoring tools, either open source (preferably) or commercial?
The most basic refactoring would be applying simple name changes. More complex refactoring would involve some ability to detect either good or bad patterns in the code. It seems I see a lot of tools for Java out there, but not so much for C++.
There are only two that I know about . Visual SlickEdit (commercial) and Eclipse (open source). I have seen Visual SlickEdit demoed but never used it professionally. The Visual SlickEdit tool seemed to work OK, but the demo was limited. The latest CDT in Eclipse has small but useful set of refactoring tools. Eclipse always seemed to get in my way. But I may have to give it a try again.
