Abstract
A system and machine-implemented method modifying a source code file to reduce dependencies included therein. The source code file is parsed to identify a symbol within the source code file, and one or more header files are identified, each of which is capable of resolving the symbol for the source code file. A header file is selected from the one or more header files for inclusion in the source code file, based on a predetermined set of rules. The source code file is modified to include the selected header file.
