Don't like 0002 as-is. I'd be okay with skipping that header if --with-llvm isn't given. However, we already tell users that they'd better configure --with-perl and --with-python, so maybe just add --with-llvm to that list? 0003: +1, I noticed that too yesterday. 0004: I prefer the solution I exhibited yesterday, ie add externs to those headers. > kwlist_d.h doesn't show up in my run, probably because I'm using a > separate build directory, which headerscheck doesn't handle? Another > thing to fix. Yeah, as it stands headerscheck is really only meant for in-tree builds. We will definitely have to do something about that to make it handle built headers in meson builds, and I guess it'd be nice if VPATH works that way as well. One idea could be to redefine it as searching the installation include-file tree instead of the source tree, so that the build process washes out of the matter. regards, tom lane
