14 fixincludes tries to reduce the number of #includes in C++ source
15 files. Much of it's processing is specific to KDE sources and so it
16 might not work so well with sources for non-KDE applications.
17
18
19 The following problems are identified by fixincludes:
20
21
22 · Including headers that are no longer supported but which exist for
23 compatibility with older Qt/KDE versions;
24
25 · Including the same file multiple times.
26
27 There is also an experimental mode which tries removing each #include
28 one at a time (with a few exceptions) to see whether the source still
29 compiles. Note that this experimental mode will modify the original
30 sources.
31
32
33 By default the sources will not be modified; the identified problems
34 will simply be written to standard output.
35
36
37 The list of C++ sources to examine should be given on the command-line.
38 If no files are given, all C++ sources in or beneath the current direc‐
39 tory will be examined (with the exception of directories whose Make‐
40 file.am contains -UQT_NO_COMPAT or -UKDE_NO_COMPAT)
41
42
43 This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
44
45
47 -v, --verbose
48 Verbose mode. Additional debugging output is written to standard
49 output.
50
51
52 -e, --experimental
53 Experimental mode, as described above in detail. Note that this
54 option implies --modify.
55
56
57 -m, --modify
58 As well as writing messages to standard output, actually modify
59 the original sources to fix any problems that were found.
