How to determine if a header file is included indirectly?
« on: December 16, 2008, 03:53:45 AM »
Hello all,

Does SlickEdit have a way to show all header files referenced by a file?  As an example, if a.c includes a.h and a.h includes b.h, how can I see that b.h is also included with SlickEdit?  I can get a list of header files directly included by a file by opening a file and viewing the Defs tab, but the Defs tab does not show me which header files are included by those header files.

Thanks,
Shaun

An include browser where you can see the include hierarchy for a c++ file?  We don't have that, but there is a feature request for it.  I'll add your comments to the tracker, and maybe we can get it bumped up in priority.  Sorry I don't have better news  :-[.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the info.  Yes, that'd be great.  It's not often that I need an include browser, but when you need one, it can save a lot of time compared to manually looking at all included files, and their includes, and their includes, etc.  In the meantime, I may be able to use the make dependency files produced by our compiler to get the same information quickly.  Thanks again.

Regards,
Shaun
