Internal Include Guards (IncGuards)
Internal include guards are good but don't use the external ones. They add a lot of noise for a non-existent benefit. Also, they add unwanted, and not always noted, dependencies, if for any reason the guarding define changes.
// Foo.hxx // Yes, use internal include guards #ifndef INCLUDED_FOO_HXX #define INCLUDED_FOO_HXX // No include guards here #include "Superclass.hxx" ... #endif
// Bar.cxx // No include guards here #include "Bar.hxx" #include "Foo.hxx" #include "Baz.hxx"
