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 `_ 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 +`_-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 +`_). 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 in + .

To set up +:program:`clang-rename` integration for Vim see +`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**.
