Is there a program that can help me safely rename a variable, function,
constant, macro, etc. in either C or C++? Simple search-and-replace doesn't
work, because you need something that understands the semantics, scoping
rules, and so forth. I guess I'm looking for something like cscope, but
with replacement functionality. (Even better: is there such a tool that is
vim-friendly?) Thanks in advance for any pointers.
