Reproducing the bug:


Consider the following code:
============== Original Version ===============
#define A // Id to be renamed
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    int a;
#ifdef A
    a = 1;
#endif
#ifndef A
    a = 2;
#endif
    return a;
}
===============================================

Now, let's rename macro "A" to "not A"

============= Refactored Version ==============
#define not A // Invalid rename
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    int a;
#ifdef A
    a = 1;
#endif
#ifndef A // Missing definition
    a = 2;
#endif
    return a;
}
===============================================

The change is not behavior-preserving: The refactoring tool did not update the following reference ("#ifdef A"). In fact, it doesn't make sense to have a "#ifdef not A" but the tool 1) Allows blank spaces while renaming and 2) didn't update all references.


Thanks in advance.
