Cyclic imports #60

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Franca should also detect cyclic imports like:

a.fidl imports b.fild
b.fidl imports a.fild

or

c.fidl imports c.fidl

Franca currently handles cyclic imports (and also self-imports) gracefully: It 
doesn't lead to a validation error and the behavior is as if every file has 
include guards.

However, there are various checks for cyclic dependencies on model level (also 
across file borders). Thus, if someone creates a multi-file model and relies on 
cyclic imports in order to create a cyclic model, there will be error markers 
at the appropriate locations.
