Just a quick head's up, we're about to proceed with the renaming of all .c files to .cpp. Nathan is working on updating Makefiles &tc. presently and if it works out, he'll be committing the changes soon.
The expected near-term effects to be aware of:
- Change histories on code files will be reset
- Potential build issues on some platforms
- Everyone will need to cvs update -Pd, make distclean, and rebuild
- Compilation with gcc will cease to work as support for gcc is ended
- If you are working on a branch or out of sync with CVS HEAD, your next merge may be more complicated than usual due to the file rename
Sounds good.
I assume that this includes all the cleaning up & shortenting of names of the files so that we dont have to rename again.
