By doing so, Clang can emit ``unused import`` or ``unused #include`` diagnostics, including Fix-Its to remove the useless imports/includes. **Fix-Its for missing imports** - It's fairly common for one to make use of some API while writing code, only to get a compiler error about "unknown type" or "no function named" because the corresponding header has not been included.

Clang can detect such cases and auto-import the required module, but should provide a Fix-It to add the import. **Improve modularize** The modularize tool is both extremely important (for deployment) and extremely crude. It needs better UI, better detection of problems (especially for C++), and perhaps an assistant mode to help write module maps for you. -**C++ Support** - Modules clearly has to work for C++, or we'll never get to use it for the Clang code base. - Where To Learn More About Modules ================================= The Clang source code provides additional information about modules: |
