> You have to have an awfully good reason to add 100k lines of code to a project yes. and this is very, very good reason. As another poster said, you at 0.35% lines to make it compile almost twice as fast? And you're not happy about that? > Think how many lines are now duplicate (and therefore need to be updated in twice ... OK, how many? None! That's how many. Adding proper header dependencies to the .c module doesn't duplicate anything. Unless you think adding #include <stdio.h> in every module somehow creates unmaintainable duplication. > Think how much extra stuff someone needs to skim through looking for the relevant file or part of the file. OK. Hrm... I think a lot, lot less is how much. That's the whole point of a major cleanup like this. Proper decoupling. Headers that you use are obvious where they belong not being brought in with some action-at-a-distance accident.
