I'm happy with .hpp. Some clarity about code that is supposed to be "C++" and that which is still "C perhaps being called by some C++ interface" is a good thing. Some of that clarity will come from the location in the source tree, of course.<div>
<br></div><div>Happy to keep gmx_bool. I can't think of a real advantage with switching to bool, even after the transition. Keeping gmx_bool as a typedef gives us some leverage if we ever need it to be something else.</div>

I agree that it's good to be able to tell the headers apart, so I vote for .hpp. I actually think .hpp would be a good choice even if we had only c++ code.<br>
<br>
I don't see any problem with gmx_bool. If we manage to switch to pure c++ later on we can always change to bool then (with some extra work).<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have two simple questions that have been brought up before but would be good to settle.<br>
<br>
First is about header file name. Since we will for the foreseeable future at least have both C and C++ code it would be good in my opinion to have a clear distinction in file names. The C++ files have extension .cpp throughout, but the header files are .h. I would like to propose to mv those to .hpp.<br>
<br>
Second is the use of bool versus gmx_bool. I was convinced at first that bool was the way to go, but of course this is not portable to C code, so it is probably better to stick with gmx_bool.<br>
<br>
Comments, opinions?<br>
