Re: [Cpptool-develop] space problem

[Baptiste L. <gai...@fr...>]

I'm not sure I understand what you want. The Change structure stored the
original source range of the element is what was parsed (set in the
setElementIsFromSource() method of CodeElement). That way the old text can
be retrieved if needed, as well as its range for deletion.

Problem with keeping the old pointer around is that a common practice of
refactoring is to move things around (for example, remove a statement and
insert it somewhere else).
