src/tools/pginclude/README
pginclude
=========
These utilities help clean up #include file usage. They should be run
in this order so that the include files have the proper includes before
the C files are tested.
pgfixinclude change #include's to <> or ""
pgcompinclude [-v]
report which #include files can not compile on their own
pgrminclude [-v]
remove extra #include's
pgcheckdefines
check for #ifdef tests on symbols defined in files that
weren't included --- this is a necessary sanity check on
pgrminclude
pgdefine create macro calls for all defines in the file (used by
the above routines)
It is also a good idea to sort the pg-specific include files in
alphabetic order. This is best done with a text editor. Typical usage
order would be:
pgfixinclude
sort include references
run multiple times:
pgcompinclude
pgrminclude /src/include
pgrminclude /
pgcheckdefines
There is a complexity when modifying /src/include. If include file 1
includes file 2, and file 2 includes file 3, then when file 1 is
processed, it needs only file 2, not file 3. However, if later, include
file 2 is processed, and file 3 is not needed by file 2 and is removed,
file 1 might then need to include file 3. For this reason, the
pgcompinclude and pgrminclude /src/include steps must be run several
times until all includes compile cleanly.
Also, tests should be done with configure settings of --enable-cassert
and EXEC_BACKEND on and off. It is also wise to test a WIN32 compile.
Another tools that does a similar task is at:
http://code.google.com/p/include-what-you-use/
An include file visualizer script is available at:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-09/msg00311.php
headerscheck
============
This script can be run to verify that all Postgres include files meet
the project convention that they will compile "standalone", that is
with no prerequisite headers other than postgres.h (or postgres_fe.h
or c.h, as appropriate).
A small number of header files are exempted from this requirement,
and are skipped by the headerscheck script.
The easy way to run the script is to say "make -s headerscheck" in
the top-level build directory after completing a build. You should
have included "--with-perl --with-python" in your configure options,
else you're likely to get errors about related headers not being found.
A limitation of the current script is that it doesn't know which headers
are for frontend or backend, so it tests everything with postgres.h
as prerequisite, even if postgres_fe.h would be more appropriate. Also
note that the contents of macros are not checked; this is intentional.
cpluspluscheck
==============
This script can be run to verify that all Postgres include files meet
the project convention that they will compile as C++ code. Although
the project's coding language is C, some people write extensions in C++,
so it's helpful for include files to be C++-clean.
A small number of header files are exempted from this requirement,
and are skipped by the cpluspluscheck script.
The easy way to run the script is to say "make -s cpluspluscheck" in
the top-level build directory after completing a build. You should
have included "--with-perl --with-python" in your configure options,
else you're likely to get errors about related headers not being found.
If you are using a non-g++-compatible C++ compiler, you may need to
override the script's CXXFLAGS setting by setting a suitable environment
value.
