Reproducing the bug:


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

After applying the refactoring, we have the resulting code:

============= Refactored Version ==============
int main a(int a, char** argv) { // Renamed function
    return a;
}
===============================================

The refactoring tool allows to rename functions with invalid names, like the invalid identifier "main a", leading to a lexical error. A suggestion would be checking if the proposed rename is a well-formed name.


Thanks in advance.
