In the following program...

==========
typedef struct s
 {
 char *n;
 }st;
int main()
 {
 st i;
 st *p;
 p = &i;
 p->n = "Jack"; // extract p
 printf("%s", p->n);
 return 0;
 }
==========

...if you select p (on line 10) and invoke the Extract Function refactoring, CDT produces the following incorrect code:

==========
typedef struct s
 {
 char *n;
 }st;
st extracted_function(st* p) {
	return p;
 }

int main()
 {
  st i;
  st *p;
  p = &i;
extracted_function(p)->n = "Jack";
  printf("%s", p->n);
  return 0;
 }
==========
The return type of the extracted function should be st*, not st.
