Re: [Cpptool-develop] XEmacs integration

[Sven R. <rei...@ma...>]

For emacs, I came up with the following solution:

- Create a text-based application which understands an easy to parse set 
of commands, and which allows to interactively refactor source files on 
disk.
- Create a mode for emacs which communicates with that application.

Both parts shouldn't be too complicated to implement. The application 
(let's call it "refactor") would still be platform independent, and hence 
perhaps generally useful. Since it operates directly on the files it will 
have to implement its own undo mechanism.

I'll think about the interface for refactor, and I'll put something on the 
Wiki. Basically, a run would look as follows:

> addAll src/rfta
added 25 files
> apply RenameTemp ToolsBox.cpp 245 15 newVariableName
replaced 14 occurrences
> saveAll 
saved 1 file(s)
> quit

where the variable occurs in line 245, column 15.
