Is there a free refactoring tool for emacs or vim like rope for python for C?

Your question and the question title don't match very well. Can you fix this? – S.Lott Oct 7 '11 at 9:59

It would help for us php-coders, vim-users, python-unknowners if you told us what does rope – Carlos Campderrós Oct 7 '11 at 10:56

For those of you who don't know, rope is a refactoring library for python. There is a plugin for vim called ropevim, that gives you keybindings to the rope commands. Think of it as integrating an independent refactoring tool into your editor, unlike visual studio, which has a built-in.

The rope library can be used without an editor, though that's much clunkier. I assume that what he's asking for is a tool for refactoring c code that he can integrate into vim or emacs. For vim, a simple google search turns up this script. I don't use emacs, but a google search comes up with this plugin for c and java refactoring.

Both tools are open source and free.

You can checkout CEDET for emacs: http://cedet.sourceforge.net/

(I have no idea what 'rope' is)
