I thought the mozilla cycle collector automatically detected this kind of cases. I’ll try to read about how it works exactly, because it seems quite more lighweight that I thought originally, which makes it more interesting for me ! I just don’t like the idea of supporting the cost of doing dynamically what can reasonnably be statically checked at compile time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we already had tools to look for cycles.

Do you think that this process can be automated by a simple script wrapping something like lxr or etags? Are there a lot of judgment calls required to generate the dependency graph?
