13 Commits • 1 Features
Aug 1, 2025August 2025: Performed a focused codebase hygiene initiative in facebookresearch/faiss focused on removing unused includes to reduce dependencies and improve build times. The cleanup spanned core modules (MetricType.h, IndexBinary.h, Index.h, index_io.h, AutoTune.cpp, IndexIDMap.cpp, IndexBinaryHash.cpp, and related files) with careful additions where dependencies were still required to preserve functionality. This work enhances build performance, simplifies maintenance, and reduces potential header-related issues, laying groundwork for faster iteration cycles and more robust releases.
