Makefile will first generate the header file then other compilation. Without seeing the patches, here is my guess, you will make us only write source code in '*.c' and extract declaration from foo.c to foo.h And that will save us some time to write (and update) declaration in foo.h However, whenever foo.c is updated, foo.h will need to be re-generated, thus all other users of foo.h will need to re-compiled. Thus, increase compilation time. We can work-around by write the output to foo.h+ and compare to foo.h, discard it if its content hasn't been changed. It still takes time to analyse foo.c and write to foo.h+ In addition, I'm not sure where would you put the struct, enum, preprocessor declaration, and compat stuff. If my understanding is correct, it's not worth the effort, IMHO. -- Danh
