Thank you for reply .
The most famous IDEs for Java world have good refactoring support and Microsoft Visual Studio has plenty options too.
For pretty overview of refactoring options you can look at http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/code_refactoring .html . ReSharper is a very commonly used plugin for Microsoft VisualStudio which tries to make it a "little IntelliJ IDEA" (one of the best IDE ever, but for Java).
The "most basic" and most used refactoring option is method/property rename. This can be easily done with "Replace in files", but it takes some time and thinking if this one should or shouldn't be renamed too. Not an issue if you have a thousand lines of code but nightmare if you have thousand source files (which is quite common in Java world :-/).
Maybe you don't really need this even in larger C++ program - I don't know. I never did something useful in C++ - the last time I used this language was at university and only when I didn't have any other option.
