Could someone suggest me a tool to find circular dependencies? I tried with a graph of the project but it has hundreds of header files so is very complicated to find them.

I edit the post with the meaning of circular dependency:

  • File A.h has a #include “B.h” guard.
  • File B.h has a #include “A.h” guard.

Thanks.

    I have found one way to get circular dependencies:

    1. Generate a DOT file which describes a #include dependency directed graph using cinclude2dot.pl Perl script.

      ./cinclude2dot.pl –src path_to_include_dir graph.dot

    2. Decompose directed graph into strongly connected components (circular dependencies):

      sccmap -v graph.dot
