Pull members up, push members down

The Pull Members Up refactoring allows you to move class members to a base class.

The Push Members Down refactoring helps you clean up the class hierarchy by moving class members to a subclass. The members are then relocated into the direct subclasses only.

Pull members up

  1. Select the members to be moved to a superclass.

  2. From the main or context menu, call Refactor | Pull Members Up.

    Pull members up
  3. In the Pull members up dialog, specify the following:

    • Select the superclass.

    • In the Member section, select the members to be moved.

      CLion will highlight the dependent members:

      Dependent class members
  4. Click Preview to check the changes before proceeding. CLion will notify you in case of problems:

    Problems detected during Pull Members Up
  5. Click Pull when ready.
