C++ Include Optimizer

Project Overview:
A tool that helps C++ developers clean up their code by finding and removing unnecessary include statements.

What it does:

• Reads your C++ source files

• Finds all #include statements

• Tests each one by temporarily removing it

• Checks if the code still compiles without it

• Shows you which includes are not needed

Key Features:

• Automatic scanning of include statements

• Safe testing without breaking your code

• Optional backup creation

• Works with different compilers

• Simple command line interface

How to use it:

1. Run the tool with your source file

2. It analyzes all include statements

3. It shows a report of what can be removed

4. You can choose to apply the changes

Usage examples:
./include_optimizer main.cpp
./include_optimizer main.cpp --apply
./include_optimizer main.cpp clang++ -I./include

Benefits:

• Faster compilation times

• Cleaner, more readable code

• Better understanding of dependencies

• Safe and reliable operation
