Err. The whole point of using ".hop" was so that we could quickly search through all the CO++ source files with a simple filename globing pattern. This is one of the first conventions we established, at NICO's wise insistence. At least use ".pip", please!
I seems that it would be much more easier to update search pattern so it includes *.Cox then change all files extensions.
And how many other patterns do I need to add? .ixx .inl ... ?
Moreover these files are located not in header but in a test directory and I don't see a reason to name it with .ipp extension
I already gave a reason (I don't care what the extension is as long as it ends with "pp").
(which is IMO is reserved for implementation placed in header).
Maybe original convention does not meet our current reality/needs?
The only real argument I've heard against the convention so far is that people have broken it in the past and we have some cleanup to do. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
