Reproducing the bug:


Consider the following code:
======== Original Version ========
int x(int a) { // Parameter to be renamed
    return a;
}
int main(int a, char** argv) {
    return x(a);
}

==================================

The refactoring tool is allowing to rename the parameter "a" (first function) to a pointer, changing the code behavior:

========== Refactored ===========
int x(int *a) { // Now, parameter "a" is a pointer
    return *a;
}
int main(int a, char** argv) {
    return x(a);
}

=================================

Notice that when compiling the resulting program (Refactored), the compiler issues a warning (since I'm passing an integer instead a pointer now). When attempting to execute the refactored version, a Segmentation Fault is thrown.


Thanks in advance.
