Reproducing the bug:


Consider the following code:
======== Original Version ========
float torename = 0;
float GlobalVar_0 = 100;

float f_0() {
    return GlobalVar_0;
}
float f_1() {
    return torename;
}
==================================

Now, let's rename the variable "torename" to "a v"
Applying the refactoring:
========== Refactored ============
float a v = 0;
float GlobalVar_0 = 100;

float f_0() {
    return GlobalVar_0;
}
float f_1() {
    return a v;
}
=================================

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 incorrect renames by checking if at least the proposed rename is a well-formed name.

Thanks in advance.
