Hi,

I am currently maintaining a legacy code with a very very large code base.
I am facing problems with C/C++ files having a lot of un-necessary #includes.
On an average every C/C++ file has around 150+ .h files included. I find 75%
of the files unnecessary and could be removed. Considering the fact that I
have a huge code base, I can't manually fix it.

Are there any tools that would report un wanted .h files?

I am not sure if this is a right group to ask this question.
I would appreciate if any pointers could be provided.

Thanks
Ramesh
