Have you tried/considered including field.h instead?

Doesn't it create a circular dependency?

In some sense, yes, but it's not a problem because the include guards should break any loops.

If you take that to the extreme, we could also have a single headers.h that includes all internal headers and include headers.h (almost) everywhere. That's a rather simple solution. I'm not convinced that this is very elegant, but it gets the job done...

Right. But not for renaming a header to a source file. It is not clear (at least for me) how to make it meaningful. FWIW, I've already tried the testing script that keeps an original header unmodified.

You mean problems will occur if we move code from a header to a source file?

I don't understand. Can you rephrase?

Yes. I mean:

mv src/field_10x26.h src/field_10x26.c
gcc -c src/field_10x26.c -o src/field_10x26.o

That effectively renders src/field_10x26.h unavailable.

FWIW, I've already tried the testing script that keeps an original header unmodified.

I don't understand. Can you rephrase?

A modified script looks like that:

cp src/field_10x26.h src/field_10x26.c
gcc -c src/field_10x26.c -o src/field_10x26.o
