We keep a list of most of the header files in LIB_H, but
some are split out into MISC_H. The original point
of LIB_H was that it would force recompilation of C files
when any of the library headers changed. It was
over-encompassing, since not all C files included all of the
library headers; this made it simple to maintain, but meant
that we sometimes recompiled when it was not necessary.
Over time, some new headers were omitted from LIB_H, and
rules were added to the Makefile for a few specific targets
to explicitly depend on them. This avoided some unnecessary
recompilation at the cost of having to maintain the
dependency list of those targets manually (e.g.,
d349a03).
Later, we needed a complete list of headers from which we
should extract strings to localized. Thus
1b8b2e4 introduced
MISC_H to mention all header files not included in LIB_H,
and the concatenation of the two lists is fed to xgettext.
Headers mentioned as dependencies must also be manually
added to MISC_H to receive the benefits of localization.
Having to update multiple locations manually is a pain and
has led to errors. For example, see "git log -Swt-status.h
Makefile" for some back-and-forth between the two locations.
Or the fact that column.h was never added to MISC_H, and
therefore was not localized (which is fixed by this patch).
Moreover, the benefits of keeping these few headers out of
LIB_H is not that great, for two reasons:
1. The better way to do this is by auto-computing the
dependencies, which is more accurate and less work to
maintain. If your compiler supports it, we turn on
computed header dependencies by default these days. So
these manual dependencies are used only for people who
do not have gcc at all (which increases the chance of
them becoming stale, as many developers will never even
use them).
2. Even if you do not have gcc, the manual header
dependencies do not help all that much. They obviously
cannot help with an initial compilation (since their
purpose is to avoid unnecessary recompilation when a
header changes), which means they are only useful when
building a new version of git in the working tree that
held an existing build (e.g., after checkout or during a
bisection). But since a change of a header in LIB_H
will force recompilation, and given that the vast
majority of headers are in LIB_H, most version changes
will result in a full rebuild anyway.
Let's just fold MISC_H into LIB_H and get rid of these
manual rules. The worst case is some extra compilation, but
even that is unlikely to matter due to the reasons above.
The one exception is that we should keep common-cmds.h
separate. Because it is generated, the computed dependencies
do not handle it properly, and we must keep separate
individual dependencies on it. Let's therefore rename MISC_H
to GENERATED_H to make it more clear what should go in it.
