Personally I don't like this. Often enough there's includes in headers, which are an implementation detail for the functionality in the originally included header. Iwyu will just include that, increasing coupling between components.
fix_includes.py --ignore_re '^boost' Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think the program does that, if I understand your post. A more accurate name might b "exclude what you don't use." It doesn't add in chained includes, it just lets you know about superfluous includes.
I was pretty sure it does that, since people in projects I work on use it. To make sure that I'm correct, I just ran it on some code I work on, and indeed, it wants to add (...c should add these lines ... ) implementation details to a lot of sourcefiles.
I'm trying to get into refactoring (and even semantic analysis, and code-generation) for large C++ codebases using libclang, libtool, and the ilk. Any guides to get started, and/or best practices? Does it increase productivity by order of magnitude? (I'd like to think so. I think it's madness not to use any AST tool when working on large codebases). Also I'm assuming "white-box" C/C++ tools like libclang/libtooling a…

I guess this can be a problem for cross platform code, yes?

I think you'll enjoy this talk: CppCon 2015: Atila Neves "Emacs as a C++ IDE" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5FQwQ0QWBTU
So he created cmake-ide for emacs. I'm wondering is there an equivalent for make projects.
EDIT 1: The github page [1] says "It automatically detects Ninja and Make builds and sets the compile command accordingly". I'm wondering if that means make is fully supported.

You can use the IWYU "export" pragma to inform IWYU that this is what you're doing. https://github.com/include-what-you-use/include-what-you-use...
I can see value in removing unneeded includes, and doing that supervised every once in a while. The way it wants to add includes? Not so much.
It detects unnecessary inclusions and also warns about missing headers required for cross-platform compatibility.
I have several personal hacks for doing this I have written over the years but I've yet to find anyone else who tried to automate it.
For example, one task is to determine the functions in a library that are not actually used in your program and exclude those from linking, instead of blindly linking libraries full of unused functions (that sometimes cause name conflicts).
