Is there any refactoring tools/plug-ins/add-ons (even 3rd party) available for Keil IDE?
or
Has anyone done this sort of things any other way (any standalone tools/applications)?
Many Thanks for your suggestions and help
Yes you are absolutely right, the total job is a source-code matter only. But as you know it would be great if after any refactoring I could instantly rebuild the project to ensure the changes were safely performed.(A refactoring tools embedded in Keil IDE would be ideal, however external refactoring tools will be still useful)
>> You could take it a step further, and use VS as your IDE for the Keil compiler, linker, etc - instead of uVision...
Wow, thanks for the suggestion, I didn't even think that is possible. It would be great if I could do the job this way [is there any instructions available on this?]
Many Thanks
"is there any instructions available on this?"
That would be in the Visual Studio documentaion, surely?
I am currently working on a project that uses MSVS with the GNU tools, so it is certainly possible...
Thanks, you helped me a lot.
Now this seems that calling my C51 compiler, linker and assembler from MSVS should be the solution to my problem. This way I will be able to use my Refactoring tools as before from within the MSVS IDE. [I hope my refactoring tools will support ANSI-C]
Thanks again.
Unless your refactoring tools relies on the browser database created when using the original M$ compiler to build the project.
It's not difficult to make your embedded code compilable with the MS (or any other) compiler - in fact, it's often beneficial to do so!
Of course, you're unlikely to get it to run meaningfully on a PC - but that's not the point.
