Re: [cdt-dev] Like to help with C++ Refactoring

Then I'll try to break rename for a week or two and then try to start on
an AST.

I've seen some of Alejandra Garrido's PhD work, so I'm not going to try
to replicate that. Do you think it's reasonable to temporarily punt on
preprocessor directives? I don't mean preprocess first, since that can
lose information. Instead, it might be possible to put UnparsedCode
nodes in the AST and disallow any refactoring as unsafe if it needs to
look inside. This would allow us to write something, and then extend it
gradually to work for all cases.

Pankaj and Karthikeyan, teaming up sounds like a good idea. How do you
want to communicate? My AIM screenname is "PopeYasskin" (long story), or
maybe there's an eclipse IRC channel?
