Err. The whole point of using ".hpp" was so that we could quickly search through all the C++ source files with a simple filename globbing pattern. This is one of the first conventions we established, at Nico's wise insistence. At least use ".ipp", please!
ipp is normally used for header includes, which these are not.
I don't care whether it's ipp, hpp, cpp, or foopp as long as it ends in pp.
Note that we also have *.inc in use in other libraries (personally I'm less keen on this because my IDE doesn't recognise the extension).
Point being? Those should be fixed.
BTW, the code has been this way since the config system review, and is documented as using this convention. It would have been helpful for issues like this to be raised at review time
I don't remember that review, but if I had known about the use of cxx I certainly would've raised the issue.
, otherwise we loose the cvs history for very little benefit.
It isn't neccessary to lose the cvs history. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
