[Spice-devel] [PATCH v4 03/12] Specify file extensions for C++ and Obj-C

[Christophe de Dinechin]

From: Christophe de Dinechin <dinechin at redhat.com>

Note that we don't have .m files in the repository yet, but some files
actually require building as Objective-C on some platformsdue to
system header dependencies (e.g. <AppKit.h>. This is currently worked
around by passing the CFLAGS=-ObjC command-line option explicitly.

Changes since v3:
- Extended commit log with rationale

 Use lower case and separate words using dashes (e.g., file-name.c, header.h).
 
-Use standard file extension for C source and header files.
+The file extensions used in the SPICE project are:
+- .c for C source
+- .cpp for C++ sources
+- .h for headers that can be included from C code
+- .hpp for headers that are strictly reserved to C++
+- .m for Objective-C source files
+
+Note that .h headers may contain C++ code as long as the header can
+successfully be included from a C source file.
