Summary AXObjectCache should have a smaller public interface
Dominic Mazzoni
Reported 2025-08-04 22:18:57 PDT
AXObjectCache is included from N source files outside of the accessibility/ directory, but AXObjectCache is so central to accessibility that it includes dozens of other files. That caused a compile error for me because I tried to include Logging.h from a header, and there are separate Logging.h files in different modules that aren't all the same. If we abstracted away the external interface from AXObjectCache we could dramatically reduce the chances that would happen. It'd also probably speed up the build for everyone.
