`#include`s in `stse_platform_generic.h`

[parmi93]

The documentation in Porting Guidelines -> stse_platform_generic.h includes an Includes section. What is unclear to me is whether I must include these header files in my stse_platform_generic.h or if they are just suggestions?

The inclusion of stm32l4xx.h leads me to believe that the list of #includes is only a suggestion, given that STSELib is a platform-agnostic library and stm32l4xx.h is an STM-specific MCU header.

This "includes" is precisely what we include in the .h example file. stddef.h, string.h, stdio.h are mandatory but you should include your own MCU header file also. Since in this example we're using an STM32L452, we include the more generic stm32l4xx.h header which specifies that we're using the STM32L452.

Out of curiosity, why doesn’t STSELib include the header files stddef.h, string.h, and stdio.h directly, instead of requiring the user to include them via stse_platform_generic.h?
