IncludeChecker

Unused #includes in C++ source lead to unwanted dependencies and slower compile and link timings.

IncludeChecker finds most of these unused #includes using a simple heuristic: if you include a file, you need to use one or more symbols from it. If that's not the case, IncludeChecker will mark the #include as unused.

IncludeChecker is very customizable to be able to run as an automated task where it will fail as soon as an unused #include is detected.

Because of the simple heuristic it will not find all unused #includes, but it will find most of them.

Features

Scanning of single files or complete subdirectories
Troublesome includes can be ignored
Global type prefixes and suffixes can be configured
Easy to setup to run as a build check
Fast because of simple heuristics
