+// sycl/sycl.hpp is a very heavy header, because it includes all SYCL feature.
+//
+// In order to be able to split it, we need to make sure that all
+// inter-dependencies between headers are resolved. We already have a set of
+// tests which make sure that every header can be compiled if included alone,
+// but to achieve that, every header can simply include every other header.
+//
+// Considering that the main reason for sycl.hpp splitting is compilation time
+// improvement, it is important that SYCL headers do not include each other
+// unnecessary to make sure that when you include a single specific header, you
+// only get specific functionality and nothing extra.
+//
+// Note that this test ignores "ext" subfolder for now and concentrates on
+// core SYCL functionality for now.
+//
+// REQUIRES: linux
