Before cppfiles.c is further obfuscated, it would be nice if
1) PCH worked reliably, and
2) Geoff posted his patch that's "so good you can't argue", or we
do what I suggested about #import.
Agree 100%.
But this symbol separation is not related to #import implementation.
It does not change it. It just asks cpp to find foo.cinfo
while searching foo.h. It does not worry about how cpp finds foo.h
or find.cinfo or whatever.
I do not see why we want to block it until Geoff re-writes #import.
Or do we have an agreement that cppfiles.c will stay in frozen state
for massive and delicate changes until #import rewrite ?
I will make appropriate changes in my final patch as per Neil's comment
about static variables.
Meanwhile, I'd also like to hear your opinions about symbol separation
approach itself.
