Code refactoring tools for C, usable on GNU/Linux? FOSS preferable

Variations of this question have been asked, but not specific to GNU/Linux and C. I use Komodo Edit as my usual Editor, but I'd actually prefer something that can be used from CLI. I don't need C++ support; it's fine if the tool can only handle plain C.

I really appreciate any direction, as I was unable to find anything. I hope I'm not forced to 'roll' something myself.

NOTE: Please refrain from mention vim; I know it exists and what its capabilities are. I purposefully choose to avoid vim, which is why I use Komodo (or nano on the servers).

Solution

  • I don't think that a pure console refactoring tool would be nice to use.
    I use Eclipse CDT on linux to write and refactor C-Code.
    There exists also Xrefactory for Emacs http://www.xref.sk/xrefactory/main.html

    if a non console refactoring tool is o.k for you as well.
