Thus far we only have one rule about header files, #include <config.h> must be first in all .c files. I'm wondering if it is time to introduce some new rules
- All system headers must be grouped to preceed all local headers - All system headers must be sorted within their group - All local headers must be sorted within their group
This will require updating pretty much every single source and header file in the tree. Of course it will need a new syntax check rule to validate this too. Since fixing them is a serious amount of work, I was wondering about people's opinions on this ?
The goal is just standardization to make code a little more readable.

I feel indifferent about the last two. Personally alphabetical sorting would make it in fact harder if one is including twin header files, e.g. for stat(2) you need to include: #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> which makes sense to me to keep together and not break into 3 pieces. But I understand it may be easier for somebody to have header files sorted. ACK to the first rule though. Michal
