Hans,

Your one reference does not support this change:

[27.9] What header-file-name convention is best? foo.H? foo.hh? foo.hpp?

If you already have a convention, use it. If not, and if you don't need your editor to distinguish between C and C++ files, simply use .h. Otherwise use whatever the editor wants, such as .H, .hh, or .hpp.



I have my stuff configured and I don't personally see a need to change.


However, I think this issue should be deferred to those who regularly train new people.
