.cpp sucks, because cpp is the C preprocessor.

Is that a common convention? I don't think gcc generates .cpp files (you choose which file to redirect it to..?) Nope, it is just the name which is misleading. Imagine a file called foo.lex which is handled by yacc.

Well, I for once would have never been mislead by .cpp; I suspect most others would also expect .cpp to be C++ and not a preprocessed C file, going all the way back to the days of Turbo C++. What do the rest of you think? Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
