From my .emacs:
(autoload 'c++-mode "c++-mode" "Edit file FILENAME in c++-mode." t)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.hxx$" . c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.cxx$" . c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.h\\+\\+$" . c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.c\\+\\+$" . c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.C$" . c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.cc$" . c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.latex$" . latex-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq completion-ignored-extensions
      (append completion-ignored-extensions '("..c")))
