[vdr] Renaming of all *.c files in *.cpp or equivalent
Hi, I have a big wish for future development: Please rename all c++ files with *.c extensions into *.cpp or equivalent. Many IDEs may cope with *.c and treat them as c++ files. However, if not, you must force the IDE to do that, which is sometimes hard work to do. I think it is lesser work to rename them and edit the makefile to work with cpp for instance. I am using cpp as default extension for c++ files for long time now. What do you think about that? Denis ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I like *.c and will stay with it.
If you really need to access the files as *.cpp, you could do
for i in *.c; do echo ln -sf $i ${i}pp; done

Re: [vdr] Renaming of all *.c files in *.cpp or equivalent
Well, it was just a thought, because there are many many naming
conventions which suggests to use another extension than *.c like *.cc
or *.cpp respectively. Mainly, it is only for better readability and to
distinguish what type of code resided in the file. IDEs rely on this
convention to decide which compiler it has to use.
But I can live with it, because there is no real technical reason for
renaming.
