I found the eclipse.org article the most helpful to get me started. To be honest you’re probably best off debugging some of the Eclipse refactorings to get a real feel for how they work. A good place to get started debugging the code is to set breakpoints on org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.rewrite.ASTRewrite, particularly the rewriteAST() method, then trigger … Read more
It’s all in your things.size() type. It isn’t int, but size_t (it exists in C++, not in C) which equals to some “usual” unsigned type, i.e. unsigned int for x86_32. Operator “less” (<) cannot be applied to two operands of different sign. There’s just no such opcodes, and standard doesn’t specify, whether compiler can make … Read more
Something like this? Anyone who supports a programming language in an Eclipse-based IDE will be asked sooner or later to offer automated refactorings – similar to what is provided by the Java Development Tools (JDT). Since the release of Eclipse 3.1, at least part of this task (which is by no means simple) is supported … Read more
You can use Code Inspection in PyCharm. Delete the contents of your requirements.txt but keep the empty file. Load your project in, PyCharm go to Code -> Inspect code…. Choose Whole project option in dialog and click OK. In inspection results panel locate Package requirements section under Python (note that this section will be showed … Read more
I also like to use UCDetector: UCDetector (Unecessary Code Detector) is a Open Source eclipse PlugIn Tool to find unecessary (dead) public java code. It also tries to make code final, protected or private. Bonus: it can also find cyclic dependencies between classes (also a number of other tools — including Findbugs — knows how … Read more
Visual Assist and Visual Studio make dealing with large codebases much easier. Visual assist is good at tracking down how a class or member is used and is more effective at renaming it without false positives than search and replace.
Just use Analyze | Inspect Code with appropriate inspection enabled (Unused declaration under Declaration redundancy group). Using IntelliJ 11 CE you can now “Analyze | Run Inspection by Name … | Unused declaration”
You could use Option 1 but without an additional surrogate Alternate Key. Instead, extend the existing Primary Key (of each entity), with an EntityType column (say CHAR(1), that would be E for Events, P for Persons, D for Products). The compound (EntityId, EntityType) will become then the Primary Key of table Entity and the corresponding … Read more
As mentioned in Git FAQ, it will detect similar content based on an heuristic. Git has to interoperate with a lot of different workflows, for example some changes can come from patches, where rename information may not be available. Relying on explicit rename tracking makes it impossible to merge two trees that have done exactly … Read more
Your version is a bit cleaner, but while you’re at it, I would: Avoid leading underscore: _x is ok until somebody chooses _MyField which is a reserved name. An initial underscore followed by a capital letter is not allowed as a variable name. See: What are the rules about using an underscore in a C++ … Read more
