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!
I don't care whether it's ipp, hpp, cpp, or foopp as long as it ends in pp.
OK, look when I have the time I'll try and change them to *.ipp.
However, please note that I could find nothing about this in the Boost Guidelines page (just a line about using *.hpp for headers), so you may want to update those pages.
Yeah, probably a good idea. I think it's just that nobody imagined anyone wanting other than cpp and hwhatever at the time, and so the guideline was written down but the rationale was lost. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
