Reproducing the bug:


Consider the following code:
======== Original Version ========
#define identifier_0
float gvar_0 = -1;
void f_0() {
    int var_0 = -1;
    var_0 = 100;
}
float f_1(float var_0) {
    return gvar_0;
}
==================================

Now, let's rename the macro "identifier_0" to "*identifier_0"
Applying the refactoring:
========== Refactored ============
#define *identifier_0
float gvar_0 = -1;
void f_0() {
    int var_0 = -1;
    var_0 = 100;
}
float f_1(float var_0) {
    return gvar_0;
}
=================================

The tool shouldn't allow to apply invalid transformations like this. Notice that now the program has a compilation error. It would be good if it was possible to prevent the use of invalid names when renaming.

Thanks in advance.
