Codetools has a feature, that tries to keep track of renamed or altered declaration of procedures.
If you change the name of a procedure inside the object declaration, and then press code-completion => Codetools will see the old method in the implementation.. It will detect that the old method no longer has a declaration, and assume it must have been renamed. It changes the old implementation to match the new declaration type TA = Class public //Procedure bar(a: Integer); procedure foo; virtual; end; implementation procedure TA.bar(a: Integer); begin end; In this example TA.bar will be updated to TA.foo. It would be create if it was possible to disable this feature. (I'll bring it up for discussion here, before filing a feature request) Personally I think this doubles the refactor/"rename identifier" tool. And I had several occasions where this feature did more harm than use. For example when I extract parts of a class, into another class, I have to remove a lot of methods and introduce some new ones. (For the new ones I use code-completion) Without this function, if I forget the body of an old/removed method, the compiler gives a warning. With it, code tools has renamed the "not-deleted-implementation" to one of the new methods; and I spend valuable time to find out where that code comes from.
