[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53505] some public Octave headers fail to compile when included alone

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #53505 (project octave):

I can look at eliminating ov-intx.h and mexproto.h so they can't cause
trouble.

We also have some .cc files that are installed in the include directory
because of the way our templates are defined.  I guess it is OK to leave them
as template sources and continue to install them along with the headers in
case someone needs to instantiate those templates for types that are not
already provided by the Octave libraries.  It should be fairly clear that a
.cc file is not normally meant to be included alone.

There may be other header files that we shouldn't be installing.  Maybe we can
review them after the release?
