Closed 11 months ago.
I'm learning C ++ and I have a question about header files. Are they only for classes? If I have some functions and want to use them in several files, should I write the declaration in the h file and the definition in the cpp file? Thanks for the help.

I got these console output while compilation via GCC.
Building CXX object xxxxxxx.cpp.obj
What are the .cpp.obj files? Are they the object file? Do the same as the .o file?
What is .c.obj / .cpp.obj file?
Object files created from compiling .c and .cpp files respectively.
What are the .cpp.obj files?
See above.
Are they the object file?
Yes.
Do the same as the .o file?
Yes.
Note that "extension" is just part of a filename and is customizable. You can name your file anything you want you want, it will not affect the content. In cmake see CMAKE_C_OUTPUT_EXTENSION.

What is the significance of the .h extension in header files of a C or C++ program?
to mark a header file, .h stands for header as much as .cpp stands for C Plus Plus, did I get your question right?
No significance. It is just a convention for programmers to quickly recognize what is in the file. Standard C++ library headers don't have it.
