Which do you prefer, ``.cc'', ``.cpp'', or ``.cxx''?

[maincc]

I like the old faver of ``.cc''
Another reason is try http://main.cc

I prefer the one my IDE generates for me, whatever that happens to be.

You forgot .C (which relies on a case sensitive filesystem) and .c++.
I use whatever my development environment is happiest with (which
happens to be .cpp at the moment).

I suspect the most common is probably .cpp, but I might well be wrong.

..cpp and .hpp all the way!

I thought .hpp was a reasonable extension, but I was criticized for
using it here because it's apparently used by Borland SuckBuilder for
a precompiled Pascal file or something equally ridiculous.

[OT, but let's risk it...]
Well, that criticism is certainly ridiculous - the Borland-supplied .hpp
files contain something that's close enough (modulo a few extensions) to
normal C++ for their C++ compiler to swallow. It may have been
translated from Pascal, but that's a different issue.

However, the Borland IDE insists on creating paired .cpp and .h pairs
and will become very confused if you rename the .h as .hpp.
