Change Signature Dialog

Refactor | Change Signature


The Change Signature refactoring combines several different modifications that can be applied to a Function signature. You can use this refactoring for the following purposes:

  • To change the Function name.

  • To change the Function return type.

  • To add new parameters and remove the existing ones.

  • To reorder parameters.

When changing a Function signature, CLion searches for all usages of the Function and updates all the calls, implementations, and override replacements of the Function that can be safely modified to reflect the change.
