Xrefactory is a browsing tool that enables refactoring in Emacs, XEmacs, and jEdit. It assists in simplifying the process of restructuring software code.
Xrefactory is a software plugin that provides code completion, source browsing, and refactorings for developers using Emacs, XEmacs, and jEdit. It is capable of working with C, C++, and Java languages by undertaking full pre-processing, parsing, and static analysis of sources. The plugin contains a cross-referencer and HTML documentation generator for easy navigation.
Some of the key features of Xrefactory include full integration with Emacs and XEmacs, available on multiple platforms including Solaris, Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. Source browsing is based on their unique tag implementation and supports multiple pre-processing passes, and resolving scopes, accessibilities, overloading, and polymorphism. It also has functions for detection of unused variables, methods, and functions, forgotten symbols, and code completion auto-updated after each modification of the source code without recompilation.
Xrefactory provides safe refactorings such as method extraction, renaming of namespaces, classes, parameters, variables, fields, and methods while detecting possible conflicts. The plugin is capable of generating HTML documentation with fully cross-referenced source code with correctly resolved symbols. Its back mapping preprocessor solves problems like macro expansions, conditional directives, and file inclusions.
The software has a professional C++ front-end from EDG that accepts ANSI C++ as well as GNU g++, Sun CC, and Microsoft MSVC++ language dialects. It has the capacity to index millions of lines of code within several minutes, and its indexing process is designed to work with the largest projects. Users can also interface with Emacs IDE functions from the compile.el and comint.el packages.
The software offers full undo under Emacs and XEmacs, and now the latest release offers bug fixes in the xref-recipe-build script and the compiler wrappers. The bugs with extraction of static variables defined inside a function, and small problems with completion under gcc emulation, including completion of symbols starting with the string "operator_" have also been resolved. A small improvement in coloring keywords in completions has also been included with the latest version.
