Different languages, different habits. I even consider putting every

There is
no reason to do anymore because modern C/C++ compiler can smartlink
on a
sub-object level which they could not for years.
Another reason is probably to speed up the compilation:
* (re)compiling huge source files can be slow and/or require lots of
memory, depending on the used compiler (and debug information or
optimization settings)
* every separate C/C++ file can be compiled in parallel with all others
