This is a trick that makes the experience of writing C and C++ code much better: Skip the header files and include the .c or .cpp files into one translation unit instead. * No more code duplication every time you change the type or name of a function. * Fewer files and less code. * Tab completion works better for the file names (you don't have two files that start with the same name) * Only one place to put the comment if you want to document the function (otherwise the comments are easy to miss if there is a description in the header file but I'm looking at the definition). * The code usually compiles faster.
