.h or .hpp
Author
is there any difference between both - I ever used to use .h files and not .hpp - but it sounds more logic when you got .cpp and .hpp files than having .cpp and .h files -
.c = c file
.cpp = c++ file
.h = header file
.hpp = doesn''t exist
It''s very logical
You could ofcourse rename all you .h files in .hpp and do
#include "header.hpp" in stead of #include "header.h".
But nobody does that.

I''ve seen people use .hpp .
I don''t know if it''s correct or not. But it''s really up to
yourself how you do it. Some use .cc instead of .cpp .
Just choose what sound most logical to you. If other people are
going to be using your files it may make sence to choose the common names (.cpp and .h I belive)

Yes, they do. Take a look at www.boost.org

bullshit! lots of people use .hpp files. im one of them.
.hpp = c++ header file
and don''t forget .cxx .hxx .cc .hh and all the rest i forgot...

IMO it makes perfect sense to use hpp, and I know of at least one major library (www.boost.org) that uses this convention.
C++ itself doesn't care what file-extensions are used (in fact, the std headers have no extension at all, and aren't even guaranteed to be files). On UNIX usually .cc and .h are used, occasionally you see .cc/.hh, .C/.H, .cxx/.hxx, .inl, etc.
a .hpp extension makes it obvious that you're using a C++ only header, .h doesn't.
EDIT: looks like I'm not the only one...
