Re: [boost] Is there a preferred order of include files? Boost or std first?

I have been wondering if there is a preferred order of include files?

Should I write (for example):

#include <iostream> #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

or

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <iostream>

Or does it not matter?

I try to choose an order that will expose headers that fail to #include all the headers on which they depend. That means standard headers always come after boost headers. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
