Managing multiple classes/subclasses (C++)

[Peter Davis]

I'm in the process of restructuring some C++ code, including breaking up
a class with about 4000 lines of code into 8 different subclasses.  As
I'm doing this, I come up with better interfaces, etc.  The problem is
that any change to the interface has to be made to all 8 subclasses, and
this is getting to be a real pain. 

Does emacs have any class manipulation tools that allow me to propagate
changes from a base class to its derived classes or something?  I would
only expect interfaces and function signatures to get propagated, as
I'll expect to modify the actual code by hand. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
