autoware_dependency_checker

This package provides a script for checking whether each package's dependencies listed in a package.xml are used or not. Currently, it mainly checks packages that start with autoware_.

Dependency Checking

The script will try to match the dependencies and the headers by reading the dependencies listed in package.xml and the included headers in the source files.

Some dependency in package.xml and the included header might differ. The following table shows the matching between dependency names and headers:

from	to	description
autoware_pkg_name	autoware/pkg_name	Usually this style should be used
autoware_*_msgs	autoware_*_msgs	For messages
autoware_other_pkg	autoware_other_pkg	E.g. autoware_lanelet2_extension
