Usually when I create a new file, I just copy some old one, but then I get the copyright date wrong, or forget to update the include guards. I just fixed a lot of incorrect include guards in our code, which were clearly mistakes from manually typing out the names. It could be much easier, so here is my script. You run it something like genc chrome/common/my_new_file.h > my_new_file.h I also use it for .cc files and just remove the guards.
#!/bin/sh if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo "usage: genc base/pants.h" exit 1 fi GUARD=`echo "$1"_ | tr '[:lower:]./-' '[:upper:]___'` cat <<EOF // Copyright (c) 2009 The Chromium Authors.
