wow, wow ... so much for being accomodating :-/ ".c++" happens to be a
non-standard name for C++ files which is neither accepted by the Sun
compiler nor by the Compaq Alpha compiler. A quick survey of the compilers
I have available shows the following as being valid file name extensions :
Compaq Alpha : .cxx, .CXX, .cpp, .CPP, .cc, .CC, or .C
Sun WorkShop 6 : .c, .C, .cc, .cxx, or .cpp
KAI CC : .c, .cc, .cpp, .cxx, .c++, .C, .CC, .CPP, .CXX, .C++
g++ : .C, .cc, .cxx, .cpp, or .c++
MIPS CC : .C, .c++, .c, .cc, .cpp, .CPP, .cxx or .CXX
If there is no extension which is accepted by all compilers (including the
ones I don't have) then I can understand your unwillingness to change it,
but it looks to me like .cxx, .cpp, .cc, and .C would all work better than
.c++.
