My off-the-top-of-my-head solution would be a script that would pass
each file through "gcc -E" (the preprocessor), and compare before and
after rearrangement. You'd have to ignore the effects of included
header files, but it would pick up the cases where a block of code that
was previously included no longer is. Or if a macro is expanded
differently...
Have a nice day,
