Hi Duft,
I assume, that all strategies discussed here are targeted at C. now what about C++, how do things behave there? As far as i know C++ is much different, and requires completely different thinking with regards to splitting source in more files, etc.
The Large-Scale C++ Software Design by Lakos which I've recommended targets C++.

How to take you of care in "dangling pointers" and "memory leaks"
from C++ sources?
Debuggers and profilers. (Hint: learn to use gdb and valgrind).
For large-scale projects, besides C++, there are another high-level
languages as Java (hated people because of Sun), Eiffel, Erlang,
Mercury, Oz, Common Lisp, Ruby, Python, etc.

This is asinine and off-topic for this list. If you want to talk about
other languages that are not used in, or provided by, the GCC toolset,
you should probably move the conversation off-list.
That said, who in their right mind develops a large modern day project
in Eiffel, Erlang, etc, whatever, etc?
I'd rather use Perl or C (or I suppose C++) as they're languages that
are likely to be well supported in, oh say, 10-20 years. Seen many
Cobol compilers recently?
