Unfortunately, it wasn't very automated.

Steps:

1) make clean
2) make -j1
  2a) Use Ctrl+C to stop compilation after gnulib (first target in SUBDIRS) has been built
3) Run make, but substitute include-what-you-use for the actual C++ compiler


make -k -j1 V=1 CXX="/usr/bin/iwyu -std=c++11 -Xiwyu --check_also='*.h'" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/lib/llvm-3.5/lib/clang/3.5.2/include" | &tee inc.log


4) Postprocess inc.log to extract the interesting bits.  I used this Perl script.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w -n

$do_print = /should add these lines:/ .. /^---$/;

print $_ if ($do_print);


5) Further postprocess the include list to remove the repeated elements.  I used this Perl script.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w -n

$in_config = /^\Qconfig.h should add these lines\E/ .. /^---$/;
$in_octconfig = /^\Qoctave-config.h should add these lines\E/ .. /^---$/;
$in_post = /^\Qoct-conf-post.h should add these lines\E/ .. /^---$/;

next if ($in_config || $in_octconfig || $in_post);

print $_;


As you can see, not that easy.

Could you show how you generated that list?  Is it something that can be added as a Makefile target?

I rationalized the #includes in the liboctave/numeric directory.  See this cset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d691ed308237.

The new, reduced list of #includes for review is attached.

I ran include-what-you-use on the Octave code base to get an idea of which declarations are unnecessary and where we are in fact missing declarations.

The tool is very much imperfect, but I can see there are some problems that could be corrected.  Unfortunately, this will require manual review of the results.  For instance, the tool completely misunderstands that config.h is always included and by extension oct-conf-post.h is also included.  The suggestion to remove config.h and add oct-conf-post.h should be ignored.

Because this is such a big job I am uploading the log file and asking that anyone who has free time tackle a few files.  Only by dividing up the work can it all get done.

For reference, the Octave coding guidelines are that the order of includes is


config.h

C standard lib headers

C++ standard lib headers

liboctave headers

other headers


Within each category the headers are alphabetized.

As an example, here is the list for libinterp/corefcn/__delaunayn__.cc


#if defined (HAVE_CONFIG_H)
#  include "config.h"
#endif

#include <cstdio>

#include <limits>
#include <string>

#include "Array.h"
#include "dMatrix.h"
#include "dRowVector.h"
#include "oct-locbuf.h"
#include "unwind-prot.h"

#include "defun-dld.h"
#include "error.h"
#include "errwarn.h"
#include "ovl.h"
