These files are only compiled by GCC's own build system, with GCC's
own makefiles, so we know we invoke the C++ compiler and so the
language isn't inferred from the file extension, and so we aren't
relying on case-sensitive file systems.
That is true for building GCC. But what about editors and other
development tools? They _will_ be affected.
Indeed. Atom keeps thinking .C is an actual âANSI Câ thing. If I were to
make a suggestion to the GCC devâs, then I probably could also swiftly word
it as:
$ find gcc-src -name "*.Câ | while read f; do mv $f $(echo $f | sed
's/\.C/\.cxx/gâ); done
In other words; .cxx, .cpp or .cc seems like a solution that works across
platforms. Since .cc is already used at some places, I would recommend that
this is to be the extension to choose.
One does not neccessarily need to make a dev apply hacks all over just to
start development.
Hello
Is this a consensus agreement to rename those .C -> .cc ?
There are around 11k files that have the .C ending to them; all in the
testsuite. I don't think it make sense to move them.
