AUTOMATIC SOURCE CODE REFACTORING

Abstract:

Techniques and solutions are described for automatically refactoring code. In particular, disclosed technologies provide for automatically refactoring code that includes function calls, which can be to particular types of functions, such as external functions or functions that are not member functions of a class. For code to be refactored, an interface and a class are created. The class implements the interface. Method declarations corresponding to the function calls being refactored are added to the interface and the class. Code is added instantiating an object of the class. Implementations for the methods in the class can call the functions called by the source code being refactored, or can include code implementing the functionality of the called functions. Refactored code has function calls replaced with calls to corresponding methods of the interface.
