g++ main.cpp file.c file.h Only main.cpp and file.cpp will be compiled. A side effect of this is that header extensions are arbitrary. |
Hello, I am new c plus plus student. I read this tutorial and it looks a good one.I will be glad if someone tells me how to create a.cpp and.h files for a program.let suppose for this program. As a rule, I always use.hpp for C header files. It's not uncommon to find a mixture of C and C within a repository, and the difference in filename helps clarify that.

- Dec 09, 2018 C header file is a normal C file that ends with.h extension. It contains function declarations and macros. There are two types of header file, one that we create based on our requirement and the other that ships with the C compiler.
- Mar 06, 2018 The instructions here are as per version 4.9.9.2 of Dev C. I don’t think there will be much changes in any older version. So here we go: 1. Go to the Tools menu. In the Tools menu, you should find and option called Compiler Options.
About section 7 |
Oh crap! That's what i get for not testing enough. You're totally right, forward declaring works fine. Only problem happens if its implicitly inlined, but that's another matter.
Finally, about templates, I'd say it's better practice to put the template definition in the class declaration. |
Well -- I'm not a big fan of putting implementation in the class itself (unless it's a really small get() function or some other kind of 1-liner). I guess with templates it's alright because any dependencies can be forward declared and included after the class body (at least I think so, I'd have to actually test that).
There are other considerations, too, though. Like if the template class is exceedingly large and you want to ease compile time (though it would have to be pretty freaking big to make a difference)
Anyway overall I agree. I just included that bit out of completeness. I figured I should focus more on the instantiating method since everybody knows how to do the inlining method. But really -- the more I think about it, the more I think that should belong in another article (like one specifically talking about templates).

In response to that, I've decided to cut sections 7 and 9 completely, and touch up a few related things. I'll edit the posts once I get it straightened out on my local copy.
