Can I write C++ code without headers (repetitive function declarations)?

Question

Is there any way to not have to write function declarations twice (headers) and still retain the same scalability in compiling, clarity in debugging, and flexibility in desi

Answer 1

Sorry, but there's no such thing as a "best practice" for eliminating headers in C++: it's a bad idea, period. If you hate them that much, you have three choices:

• Become intimately familiar with C++ internals and any compilers you're using; you're going to run into different problems than the average C++ developer, and you'll probably need to solve them without a lot of help.
• Pick a language you can use "right" without getting depressed
• Get a tool to generate them for you; you'll still have headers, but you save some typing effort
