Re: Tools for C/C++

It's right there in their website (as well as occurring when I tried it):

http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/extractMethod.asp

"Use care when including local variable declarations in the selected text to
be extracted. Since the declaration is moved to the extracted method,
referencing the variable in the original code outside the selection will
result in a compile error."

The example code has lines 3-8 selected for extract method and 'nCounter' as
the problematic variable.

[ 1 ] void OriginalMethod()
[ 2 ] {
[ 3 ]     int nCounter;
[ 4 ]     for (nCounter = 0; nCounter < 5; nCounter++)
[ 5 ]     {
[ 6 ]          cout << "Iteration " << nCounter << endl;
[ 7 ]          if (g_bCancel) break;
[ 8 ]    }
[ 9 ]    cout << "Execution stopped at iteration << nCounter << endl;
[10 ] }

Eclipse will try to either return nCounter or pass it in/out of the
extracted method by reference or pointer. It might not always get it right,
but it tries... :-)
