Re: [cdt-dev] Mapping a name to include statement

["Dmitry Smirnov" <divis1969@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, Tom, this is the exactly the same task I'm assigned to right now :-)
The idea is to mark top-level includes as 'referred' or 'not referred'
from the translation unit body.
Such kind of analysis should also be applied for header files, since
they can also include unnecessary files.
I'm not going to automate the removing of the problematic area, I
suppose developers (owners) should take a look at the analysis results
and decide the best way.
