Should all header files under src/ be moved to include/ dir?

[jimmy]

There were many header files under src/, like bignum.h, src/stm/stm_internal.h, src/stm/stm_waitlist.h, etc. They should be moved to include/parrot/, like include/parrot/bignum.h, include/parrot/stm/internal.h,include/parrot/stm/waitlish.h, etc.

sorry, waitlish.h changes to waitlist.h

Some of the .h files in the src/ directory are built from platform-specific files in subdirectories and are only used internally. Also header files which are intended to only be included once or twice and are not supposed to be used more then that probably shouldn't be together with the rest of the "General purpose" header files.

I don't really have an opinion on this, so long as people have the tuits to accomplish it cleanly. I know that some of the header files in src/jit/* contain executable code and so really shouldn't be moved anywhere until that is resolved.

- Show quoted text - please check PDD07. it makes clear our header location policy, if i'm not mistaken. ~jerry - Show quoted text -

I just checked through PDD07 again, and I can't find any specific mention of what directories header files should or should not be in. Am I missing something?

I don't think you are. I just scanned that file and could not locate any discussion of file locations either.

It's unreasonable, I recall it.
