libcppmanip

libcppmanip is a clang-based library that provides a reliable way to perform C++ refactoring that can be used in other tools (e.g. IDE plugins). If you need a standalone tool, check out Maciej's kdevcpprefactor.

Partially working features

• extract function

Planned features

• extract method
• inline method
• change method signature
• introduce local variable
• introduce method parameter

Installation

Currently, the only way to go is building from source.

Building

You need the following dependencies/tools:

• libclang 3.2
• Boost
• cmake
• rake
• cucumber
• rspec

Using a newer version of libclang requires minor code changes. Support for newer versions of libclang will be provided soon.

To build the library simply run:

rake

It will build the library and run all acceptance and unit test. The binary can be found in library/build. In order to install it, do the following:

cd library/build
sudo make install
