following up on an earlier post by stefan richter, i wrote a brute-force little script that scanned the source tree, looking for header files that weren't included from *anywhere* in the tree. what turned up was the following:
./arch/m68k/atari/atasound.h ./arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/bast.h ./arch/ppc/syslib/cpc710.h ./arch/um/kernel/tt/include/mode_kern-tt.h ./arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/mpc834x_itx.h ./drivers/serial/crisv10.h ./drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/dbgioctl.h ./drivers/char/digi.h ./drivers/message/i2o/i2o_lan.h ./drivers/net/wan/lmc/lmc_media.h ./drivers/net/skfp/h/lnkstat.h ./drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/main_if.h ./drivers/message/fusion/lsi/mpi_inb.h ./drivers/message/fusion/lsi/mpi_log_fc.h ./drivers/video/riva/nv4ref.h ./drivers/scsi/pci2000.h ./drivers/char/drm/via_mm.h ./drivers/net/chelsio/vsc8244_reg.h ./include/linux/elfnote.h ./sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_sb.h ./sound/pci/cs46xx/imgs/cwcemb80.h this list represents an absolute *minimum* of what are apparently orphaned header files, in that they are not referenced from *anywhere else* in the tree, not even from include directives that are currently commented out. in short, they are truly homeless (assuming i didn't screw up my programming, that is). anyone want to get rid of some of them? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
