At least, this check will be useful for uapi headers since the kernel does not test the self-containedness of exported headers, (then turned out be problematic later in user-space). I will take a little time to considier how far we can extend the idea about "headers should be self-contained". Thank you.

The correct syntax is 'clean-files +=' instead of 'clean-files-y +=' If Kbuild supports this in the core Makefiles, we can add "-o -name '*.header_test.c'" to the top Makefile. > And it should also be put into the global gitignore I think.

I have cooked up something ad-hoc a couple of times but having it as a standard feature in the build system is much better.

Sometimes we could use this for headers in include/ but let it trigger for the relevant subsystem. So for example drivers/gpu/drm/Makefile will include the rules for all headers in include/drm/* The alternative would be Makefiles (of Kbuild files) scattered in the directories with headers and then some infrastructure to visit those. Follow patch extend the header-test feature to work with headers in include/ Example: # Header files from this directory header-test-y += drm_crtc_helper_internal.h header-test-y += drm_crtc_internal.h .. . # Header files from include/drm header-test-y += drm/amd_asic_type.h header-test-y += drm/ati_pcigart.h ... In the patch $* is used to get the "stem" from the pattern. This is the filname of the header file without extension.

[1] Could you rename *.header_test.c to *.hdrtest.c ? (I just thought .header_test.c was a bit too long.)

We call it HDRTEST - so why not just go for that name: hdrtest-y += headerfile.h ?? The current proposal with "header-test-y" hurts the eye a little with two '-', and all other variables uses only one '-' as is today. (generic-y, obj-y etc). This is bikeshedding but is was itcing me a little. Sam

I do not have a strong opinion. I leave it to Jani. Either is fine with me. There are variables that contain two '-'. 'no-clean-files', 'subdir-ccflags-y', etc. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada

Sometimes it's useful to be able to explicitly ensure certain headers remain self-contained, i.e. that they are compilable as standalone units, by including and/or forward declaring everything they depend on. Add special target header-test-y where individual Makefiles can add headers to be tested if CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled. This will generate a dummy C file per header that gets built as part of extra-y.
