Header Dependency Processor

Overview

A Python tool for processing and optimizing Objective-C header file dependencies. It analyzes dependencies between header files, cleans header content, and generates optimized header files.

Key Features

• Analyzes header file dependencies
• Cleans and optimizes header content
• Handles framework imports and protocol dependencies
• Generates dependency graphs
• Provides detailed processing logs

Usage

1. Configure parameters:

   headers_dir = "path/to/original/headers"
   target_header = "target_header_to_process"
   output_dir = "path/to/output/directory"

2. Run the program:

   python header_dependency_processor.py

Features

• Automatic cleanup of .cxx_destruct methods
• Replacement of CDUnknownBlockType with id
• Protocol declaration optimization
• System framework import handling
• @class declaration processing
• Recursive dependency processing

Logging

The program generates detailed processing logs including:

• Total number of processed files
• Total number of protocols found
• Dependency tree for each file

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OS: Cross-platform support

Important Notes

• Ensure all required header files are present in the input directory
• Backup original files before processing
