Directly Include Referenced Files¶
This feature helps to automatically add include directives to a file under consideration, so that all files containing referenced declarations get included (directly). The features is based on the idea of John Lakos found in his book Large-Scale C++ Software Design (5th guidline)
Example¶
/* main.cpp */
#include "Y.h"
int main() {
X x;
return 0;
}
/* Y.h */
#include "X.h"
/* more code */
/* X.h */
class X { };
/* ... */
Here, the Includator makes the proposal to include file X.h directly into main.cpp independent of other, used or unused, types in Y.h.
