Back in 2016, we discussed[1] rules for headers, and these were generally liked:
1. Have a carefully curated header that's included everywhere first. We got that already thanks to Peter: osdep.h. 2. Headers should normally include everything they need beyond osdep.h. If exceptions are needed for some reason, they must be documented in the header. If all that's needed from a header is typedefs, put those into qemu/typedefs.h instead of including the header. 3. Cyclic inclusion is forbidden. This series fixes a number of rule violations. Together with [PATCH v2 0/4] hw/ppc: Clean up includes [PATCH v2 0/7] include/hw/pci include/hw/cxl: Clean up includes in master as commit 9d94c21363..881e019770 [PATCH v2 0/3] block: Clean up includes [PATCH v3 0/5] coroutine: Clean up includes just three inclusion loops remain reachable from include/: target/microblaze/cpu.h target/microblaze/mmu.h target/nios2/cpu.h target/nios2/mmu.h target/riscv/cpu.h target/riscv/pmp.h Breaking them would be nice, but I'm out of steam. v3: * Rebased, old PATCH 1+2+4 are in master as commit 881e019770..f07ceffdf5 * PATCH 1: Fix bsd-user v2: * Rebased * PATCH 3: v1 posted separately * PATCH 4: New [1] Message-ID: <87h9g8j57d....@blackfin.pond.sub.org> https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg03345.html Markus Armbruster (1): include: Don't include qemu/osdep.h bsd-user/qemu.h | 1 - crypto/block-luks-priv.h | 1 - include/hw/cxl/cxl_host.h | 1 - include/hw/input/pl050.h | 1 - include/hw/tricore/triboard.h | 1 - include/qemu/userfaultfd.h | 1 - net/vmnet_int.h | 1 - qga/cutils.h | 1 - target/hexagon/hex_arch_types.h | 1 - target/hexagon/mmvec/macros.h | 1 - target/riscv/pmu.h | 1 - bsd-user/arm/signal.c | 1 + bsd-user/arm/target_arch_cpu.c | 2 ++ bsd-user/freebsd/os-sys.c | 1 + bsd-user/i386/signal.c | 1 + bsd-user/x86_64/signal.c | 1 + qga/cutils.c | 3 ++- 17 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- 2.39.0
