Including local headers first
https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/157275
Question
So I read up on the ordering of your includes, and this guy suggested you include your local header first so as to make sure it doesn't have prerequisites. Ok, I get that. I'm on board. The whole compartmentalization thing is good.
But I've got this file, file.c which includes it's file.h
, which declares functions to save files. Which passes around the FILE*
type used by fopen
and friends.
If I include file.h
before I include stdio.h
then there's an obvious parsing error when it's building file.h
because it doesn't know about the FILE*
type.
I know I've got to be missing something dirt simple, but I can formulate this into something google can use. Should I be doing something different in file.h
? Is this simply something that needs to be included in a specific order? Thoughts?
