rename-global-variable-or-function

To safely rename global variables in a decompilation project, update the symbol mappings and annotations to preserve memory addresses and maintain reference correctness. Replace the symbol name and update associated aliases to reflect the new identifier.

When renaming decompiled functions, maintain the func_<memory>_<rom> naming schemes and ensure updates align with symbol_addrs.txt conventions to preserve memory and ROM address mappings.

Symbol mappings link renamed identifiers to their specific memory and ROM addresses. Updating these mappings during reorganization ensures the decompilation project maintains its structural integrity and readability without collisions.

Yes, you can update global symbols without collisions by following proper syntax and annotating memory and ROM addresses. This ensures new meaningful names do not conflict with existing references in the codebase.

Updating symbol_addrs.txt when renaming global symbols is necessary to maintain correct mappings between the new identifiers and their underlying memory and ROM addresses, preventing broken references across the decompilation project.

The best way to improve decompiled code readability is to replace generic names with meaningful identifiers while updating symbol mappings and address annotations to ensure maintainability and prevent reference errors.
