history
Project history and usage
clang-include-graph is a small Clang-based command-line tool for inspecting C and C++ include relationships and exporting those relationships as textual, JSON, Graphviz, GraphML, or PlantUML output.
Project history
The public GitHub repository was created in 2022 and the first GitHub release was tagged as 0.1.1 in July 2022. The README positions the project as a simple include-graph analyzer built around LLVM/Clang compilation database inputs.
The project stayed narrow by design: its documented feature set is include-tree printing, reverse trees, topological order, cycle listing, dependant lookup, and graph export rather than a broader static-analysis platform.
Adoption history
Homebrew packages clang-include-graph from GitHub release archives and ships bottles for macOS and Linux. Homebrew analytics showed 412 installs over the prior 365 days for the formula, indicating niche but real command-line distribution.
How it is used
The tool expects a compile_commands.json database or compile_flags.txt, then lets users select translation units and choose output formats such as JSON, Graphviz, GraphML, PlantUML, tree views, cycles, or dependency queries.
Why package nerds care
For package-manager users it is a compact example of a modern LLVM-dependent C++ analysis CLI: the formula tracks tagged GitHub tarballs, depends on boost and llvm, and exists primarily to make source-tree architecture inspection scriptable.
Timeline
- 2022: GitHub repository created.
- 2022: Initial GitHub release 0.1.1 published.
- 2025: Release 0.2.0 published and packaged by Homebrew as the stable version.
Related projects
- The project is closely related to clang-uml, another bkryza Clang-based diagramming tool, but clang-include-graph focuses only on include relationships.
- It also relies on the Clang JSON compilation database convention used by CMake, Bear, and other C/C++ build tooling.
