What's an object file in C?
(5 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
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.

Is there a way to list all files included in a generic .cpp file?
I need a list (flat) or a hierarchical tree that show all the included files from a .cpp file?
Does the compilator has some flag to show them? or using another tool? how can i achieve taht?

Why have header files and .cpp files? [closed]
(9 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I may be thinking/using header files the wrong way, but currently I'm using 1 .cpp file and the rest are all in header files. I have things like a screen which is an array of characters in a header file, I have the function to draw the screen to the terminal in a header file, I have all my global variables in a header file, but I have game.cpp where all those files will be used.
I am doing this wrong? I feel like at this point there's no reason to use .cpp files. Header files seem to be so much better because I avoid the issue of redeclaration.
The primary purpose of a header file is to propagate declarations to code files. Header files allow us to put declarations in one location and then import them wherever we need them. This can save a lot of typing in multi-file programs. This program prints “Hello, world!” to the console using std::cout.

What do .c and .h file extensions mean to C?

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.

How to add a default include path for gcc in linux?
I was wondering is it possible to compile together files from different locations if they are included in the code itself?
Lets say the header file is in another location but there is #include "header.h" in the cpp file.
I was looking for answer here on the site but the only thing I found was how to compile multiple files from the same location.
edit: I use g++ compiler on linux
You can put
#include "adress"
adress would be like C:/Users/Files.../header.h

Displaying the #include hierarchy for a C++ file in Visual Studio
I have a cpp file that includes multi-level header files (nested), and so difficult for me to know exactly what final header files are included. It apparently includes one header file, but I want to know where is that header file actually included (must be included in some other header file which is included by this cpp file).
How can I get a list of header file map included by compiler?
Thanks
You can add the /showIncludes switch to the compiler. Then it will list all includes for the cpp files.
