Reproducing the bug:


Consider the following code:
======== Original Version ========
int GlobalVar_0 = 0;
int GlobalVar_1 = 100;

int func_0() {
   return GlobalVar_1;
}

int Function_0() {
    return GlobalVar_0;
}
==================================

Now, let's rename the function "func_0" to "&func_0"
Applying the refactoring:
========== Refactored ============
int GlobalVar_0 = 0;
int GlobalVar_1 = 100;

int &func_0() {
   return GlobalVar_1;
}

int Function_0() {
    return GlobalVar_0;
}
=================================

The tool shouldn't allow to apply invalid transformations like this. Notice that now the program has s compilation error. It would be good if it was possible to prevent incorrect renames at least by checking if the function has a valid name.

Thanks in advance.
