Why Can One Only Rename Variables When Selecting Declaration?

[Seidleroni]

Why can I only rename a variable when I select its declaration rather than its usage? It would be great to be able to rename any variable/function when it is selected, not just if the declaration is selected. Seems like it would be a major benefit to be able to rename in either scenario.

Hi,

Sorry, this limitation comes from the way Clang engine handles the rename data internally. We might be able to support renaming entities from their references in one of the next major VisualGDB releases, however we won’t be able to promise a specific deadline for this as it would require a non-trivial change on our side.

I understand, but I hope you do add it in the future as it would be very very useful.
