The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I understand. Thank you

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Refactor & Qualified DS
Hi Justin,
If I understand you correctly, you would like to change
st_mtime = st_mtime;
to
st_mtime = FileStats.st_mtime;
or
FileStats.st_mtime = FileStats.st_mtime; by using the refactoring wizard.
Refactoring by definition never changes the semantics of the program. The program behaviour is identical, but it is reorganized to be clearer and easier to maintain.
st_mtime is a subfield of statds and FileStats.st_mtime is a subfield of FileStats, so this is no longer a refactoring and that is why it is not allowed.
(that is why any field with a '.' in it is considered an invalid name in the refactoring dialog). You can rename the data structure or the subfield but you cannot change from the reference to one data structure to another.
Regards,
Edmund (E.H.)
