" #pragma once " ::: serves the same purpose as header guards, and has the added benefit of being shorter and less error-prone.

Many compilers support a simpler, alternate form of header guards using the #pragma directive: " #pragma once " // your code here

However, #pragma once is not an official part of the C++ language, and not all compilers support it (although most modern compilers do).

For compatibility purposes, people recommend sticking to traditional header guards. They aren’t much more work and they’re guaranteed to be supported on all compliant compilers.
