Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 4/7] scripts: convert headerdep.pl to Python
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 10:57:19 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018135722.27410-5-breno3011alves@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018135722.27410-1-breno3011alves@gmail.com>

Faithful re-implementation of headerdep.pl in Python 3
(stdlib only). Same include graph construction, same cycle
detection, same GraphViz output mode (--graph).

Verified byte-for-byte identical to the Perl version on a
synthetic cyclic include chain.
