A CLI tool that can adjust include directives in C/C++ source files based on a scan initiated from a configuration file.
You can use this tool so as to end-up with a single include directory to add to your C++ project configuration(s). Some projects like old game engines are careless with their include directories and end-up with soo many of them that it become dangerous when you have header files with the same name. You now have a dependency on the order in which you have provided your include directories which is hard to read and understand.
What you actually really want is a single directory called something like source, and under that folder, assuming you are
using multiple libraries could look a bit like this:
-
source/main/cpp/renderer -
source/main/cpp/filesystem -
source/main/cpp/imgui -
source/main/cpp/oodle -
source/main/include/renderer -
source/main/include/filesystem -
source/main/include/imgui -
source/main/include/oodle
The include directory that should be registered in the project is:
source/main/include
So source and header files should use the following standard to include a header file:
#include "renderer/dx12/dx12.h"
#include "oodle/oodle.h"Where renderer/dx12/dx12.h is a sub directory under source/main/include.
