[Github-comments] [geany/geany] .h -> .hpp in classbuilder (#999)

[Matthew Brush]

> we have to pick something

The sort of default would be `.h`, no? I agree it's stupid that C++ and Obj-C re-use this extension for the same purpose, but it's a reasonable default. It's not like anyone who cares can't just type 2 characters in the GUI textbox to use their preference.

In a perfect world there would be a real filetype for C++ header files and class builder could use the default extension, but at present, the current `.h` extension is completely reasonable..

That being said, I don't really care, I just think it's arbitrary to use `.hpp` over any of the other common extensions (or lack thereof) for C++ headers.
