For the record: I'm with Greg (and others) on this. I moving the struct out of it's "home" header file doesn't make any sense. > What solution do you suggest for having a header included everywhere that > changes on every tag? How often do we create new tags? It's certainly less often then somebody commits to svn_error.h or svn_error_codes.h (which are just about universally included). A better question would be: what problem are you trying to solve here? Is it strictly one of build time? -Hyrum > Can we move the defines that change to a different header that isn't > included everywhere? > What kind of forward (typedef) would work to allow keeping the reduced set > of includes? > > I just did what you did in early 1.7 development: reduce the number of > recursive header includes and this one really helps in the build time: > Especially for third party projects building on top of Subversion.
