Add the necessary #includes and forward declarations to allow the header file to pass the 'hdr-check' target. Note that, since this header includes the commit-slab implementation header file (indirectly via commit-slab.h), some of the commit-slab inline functions (e.g contains_cache_at_peek()) will not compile without the complete type of 'struct commit'. Hence, we replace the forward declaration of 'struct commit' with the an #include of the 'commit.h' header file. It is possible, using the 'commit-slab-{decl,impl}.h' files, to avoid this inclusion of the 'commit.h' header. Commit a9f1f1f9f8 ("commit-slab.h: code split", 2018-05-19) separated the commit-slab interface from its implementation, to allow for the definition of a public commit-slab data structure. This enabled us to avoid including the commit-slab implementation in a header file, which could result in the replication of the commit-slab functions in each compilation unit in which it was included. Indeed, if you compile with optimizations disabled, then run this script: $ cat -n dup-static.sh 1 #!/bin/sh 2 3 nm $1 | grep ' t ' | cut -d' ' -f3 | sort | uniq -c | 4 sort -rn | grep -v ' 1' $ $ ./dup-static.sh git | grep contains 24 init_contains_cache_with_stride 24 init_contains_cache 24 contains_cache_peek 24 contains_cache_at_peek 24 contains_cache_at 24 clear_contains_cache $ you will find 24 copies of the commit-slab routines for the contains_cache. Of course, when you enable optimizations again, these duplicate static functions (mostly) disappear. Compiling with gcc at -O2, leaves two static functions, thus: $ nm commit-reach.o | grep contains_cache 0000000000000870 t contains_cache_at_peek.isra.1.constprop.6 $ nm ref-filter.o | grep contains_cache 00000000000002b0 t clear_contains_cache.isra.14 $ However, using a shared 'contains_cache' would result in all six of the above functions as external public functions in the git binary. At present, only three of these functions are actually called, so the trade-off seems to favour letting the compiler inline the commit-slab functions.
