Why do I need to include every single file

[lafonso-gnrc]

Hello,

I have a particular case that I am trying to understand.

This project builds fine in WSL2 but not on Windows. I've tried both ceedling v1.0.0 and v1.0.1.

I effectively have the maybe questionable format as follows. Some functions from module_a.c have their prototype in module_public.h. There is a reason for that, mostly just have functions that I want to use between a sort of manager module in module.c but not by the application and I think this transmits that (I do regret it a little but...)

• module_h
• module.c
• module_a.h
• module_b.h
• module_a.c
• module_b.c

In module.h there is the prototypes for function module_a_set_state()

in my test_module_a.c I only included module_private_a.h and had TEST_SOURCE_FILE(module_a.c). This works under WSL2 running Ubuntu. It is questionable but okay. In windows this does not work it says module_a_set_state()`is undefined. Question 1: Why would that be the case?

To try to correct this I included module.h in the test file but now it tries to compile module.c , which no function is called, which won't work unless I include every single include used in module.c in the in the test file! Question 2: Is this as per design and this code is just not friendly for using ceedling?

@lafonso-gnrc Thank you for posting this and sorry for the delay. Nothing in what you're describing sounds peculiar or challenging. The first thing that jumps out is that your project is working as expected in WSL2 but not Windows itself. Windows is always a bit of a wild card. Could you post your project file and pertinent logging with verbosity set to debug using -v 5 (both project file and logging anonymized as appropriate).
