I am talking about dependencies between magic files causing the generated files to be rebuilt too often. Any change to *.myformat can cause change to *.cpp and/or *.h. Most often you do implementation changes which impact only .cpp, and it is possible to detect that you have nothing new to change in .h. But, can be hard to explain this kind of "conditional" dependency to a build system. If you leave .h as always changed, you get a lot of unneeded recompiling. So, parsing the header, where the header contains extra meta info you need and generating your metadata from that, while letting the compiler use that same header directly works better, IME.
