    C++ is the ultimate language of choice and flexibility and C++ developers like to be different. The .cc extension is just one of the many that people choose for header and source files. Some others I’ve seen.

    • No extension: Popular with header files
    • .h
    • .hpp
    • .cpp
    • .cc
    • .c
    • .C (explicit capital on case sensitive file systems)
    • .cxx
    • .inl (for inline templates)

    Which to use is merely a matter of preference. There is no inherent gain from choosing one extension over the other.

    The only real effect the extension has is to kill a team’s productivity for a day or two while they debate the best one to use.
