    Which compiler error do you get? Maybe there is a cyclic dependency.

I assumed that the schedulersmp.h already includes the percpu.h which was not the case. My bad. The error has been removed.

I assumed this because schedulersmp.h uses <https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/cpukit/include/rtems/score/schedulersmp.h?id=3a95a07d88a6926bd2f67dc53c977b8dbc828f9c#n127> Per_CPU_Control and does not show any compilation error, so it should have the percpu.h included in one of its included header files right? If it has, why did my schedulerstrongapa.h that had the schedulersmp.h included give the following error:

/home/richi/quick-start/src/rtems/cpukit/include/rtems/score/schedulerstrongapa.h:102:3: error: unknown type name 'Per_CPU_Control'
   Per_CPU_Control cpu;

We have two kinds of header files in the implementation of RTEMS. Firstly, some header files are included in API header files and are thus visible to application code. These header files should only define things which are strictly necessary for applications. Secondly, some header files are only included in implementation source files.

The purpose of <rtems/score/schedulerstrongapa.h> is to enable the application to configure this scheduler and nothing more. Please note that <rtems/score/scheduler.h> uses

struct Per_CPU_Control  *cpu

and NOT

Per_CPU_Control  *cpu

You can use struct Per_CPU_Control with a forward declaration. This enables the use of this header file without having to include <rtems/score/percpu.h>. You should not include <rtems/score/percpu.h> in <rtems/score/schedulerstrongapa.h> and remove everything from this file which is not necessary to configure the scheduler.
