Rename a structure/member
IDA maintains separate namespaces for each structure. For example, you can define something like this:xxx struc xxx db ? xxx strucBeware, usually assemblers have one common namespace and do not allow the mentioned above example.
You can't specify an empty name.
This command is available when you open a structures window.
If the cursor is on the structure name at the structure definition start then IDA proposes to rename the structure. Otherwise IDA proposes to rename a structure field.
If a structure is being renamed then "Don't include in the list" means that the structure will not be included in the list of the structures which appears when the user applies the structure definition, for example, when he creates a variable of this structure type. We recommend to mark this checkbox when you have defined all variables of this structure type and want to reduce the number of choices in the list.
