Question

This might be difficult to answer. I am trying to understand some codebase and in one of the project folders named FOO there is a main.cpp file plus other .hpp and .cpp files. These filenames are made descriptive using underscores such as Hi_there_file.cpp etc.

There are two files Foo.tab.hpp and Foo.tab.cpp
Is *.tab.cpp an indication of something or just a poor try at making the file name descriptive?

Answer 1

Turns out, that file is generated by a perl script so they put a tab.cpp at the end. maybe even delete this question. Very very specific to what i’m working with
