A project with some Objective-C has a few C classes with the implementation files having a .mm extension.

file.h
file.mm

What does the .mm mean? Shouldn’t it just be .m?

    The extension .mm is the extension for the C++ compilation unit expected by the Objective-C compiler, while the .m extension is the extension for the C compilation unit expected by the Objective-C compiler.

    That’s assuming you don’t use a compiler flag to override the file extension, as this gentleman has done.
