How to start code refactoring?

10 New Member
What is the best way to start refactoring the code so as not to harm it? And is it worth doing analysis before refactoring?

He beginning, the easiest way to start with refactoring is to do it on a method level.
A quick thing to check first is if the method is too long.
An extended method is a classic sign of the process being too much, and it would probably benefit by splitting it into several other smaller*methods .

METHODS OF REFACTORING

Get rid of switch statements.
Make your conditionals descriptive.
Use guard clauses to avoid nested if statements.
Avoid code duplication.
Functions should only do one thing.

The best way to start refactoring code is to use a process such as the "Red-Green-Refactor" cycle. This process basically involves making small changes, testing the code to make sure it still works as expected, and then making further improvements. This process helps ensure that the code is not harmed during refactoring.

It is also important to do an analysis of the code before refactoring. This analysis can help identify areas of the code that can be improved and provide insight into the types of changes that should be made. This can help reduce the risk of introducing bugs or issues while refactoring.

Hello, I have a method to initialize my application, which reads configuration settings, establishes connections, and loads a bunch of data. It lasts for several seconds.

Does anyone know of any tools for refactoring header files? We're using a third party codebase at work, and pretty much every file includes a 50Mb precompiled header file. I'm looking for a tool that will let us figure out which header files are actually needed by each .cpp, and allow us to break this up so that we're not including the world in each one. Ideally, the same tool would also recognize where #includes can be replaced with...

Which library could you recommend to perform simple editing of Python code (from Python program)? For example, open *.py file, find specific function definition, add another function call inside, find existing call and change parameter value, etc. What I'm trying to implement isn't a real visual programming tool, but some code-generation is necessary. For now I think I can generate Python syntax manually (like any text file), but it can...

Hi I'm currently in the midst of building a C high-level refactoring program in Java but I was wondering if there are any good parsers (or some other alternative) which are able to read in C files at a function or global level and allow transformations to the code, in other words it will allow me to swap a function out of one file and into another using the api etc...
