Yes, it's not a silver bullet (yet). And, of course, I'm not a heavily
experienced user.

Thanks.

IIUC real refactoring of C should imply preprocessing and full
syntactic analysis, so, I'm thinking about GCC plugin.

Nevertheless, I suppose that it should be possible to build
simple refactoring engine on top of cc-mode, and such an engine
may provide basic features like intelligent renaming of identifiers
or tweaking function arguments.
