NAME
fixkdeincludes - reduce the number of #includes in KDE source files
SYNOPSIS
fixkdeincludes [ -v, --verbose ] [ -e, --experimental ] [ -m, --modify ] [ file ... ]
fixkdeincludes --help
DESCRIPTION
fixkdeincludes tries to reduce the number of #includes in C++ source files. Much of its processing is specific to KDE sources and so it might not work so well with sources for non-KDE applications.
The following problems are identified by fixkdeincludes:
Including headers that are no longer supported but which exist for compatibility with older Qt/KDE versions;
Including the same file multiple times;
Using #include <...> instead of #include "...".
There is also an experimental mode which tries removing each #include one at a time (with a few exceptions) to see whether the source still compiles. Note that this experimental mode will modify the original sources.
By default the sources will not be modified; the identified problems will simply be written to standard output.
The list of C++ sources to examine should be given on the command-line. If no files are given, all C++ sources in or beneath the current directory will be examined (with the exception of directories whose Makefile.am contains -UQT_NO_COMPAT or -UKDE_NO_COMPAT).
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
OPTIONS
- -v, --verbose
-
Verbose mode. Additional debugging information is written to standard output.
- -e, --experimental
-
Experimental mode, as described above in detail. Note that this option implies --modify.
- -m, --modify
-
As well as writing messages to standard output, actually modify the original sources to fix any problems that were found.
