Description Fredrik Haikarainen 2016-02-06 12:07:14 UTC

I think the summary is pretty self-descriptive; when you rename a class (using right-click > rename "Foo"), it renames the filename of the file as well to reflect the changes (as expected and a nice feature), however it does not change any #include directives pointing to the file, leading to lots of manual labour.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Declare a class named Foo in a file called Foo.hpp
2. Create a file that #include's Foo.hpp (Foo.cpp for example)
3. Rename the class Foo to "Bar" using the renaming tool

Actual Results:  
Any declarations, definitions and usages of class Foo are changed. The file Foo.hpp is also changed. However any #include directives pointing to Foo.hpp are not changed, making them obsolete and breaks compilation.

Expected Results:  
Any declarations, definitions and usages of class Foo are changed. The file Foo.hpp is also changed, along with any #include directive pointing to said file.

Using official Ubuntu 15.10 packages, which provides version 4.7.1 using KDE Development Platform  4.14.13
