I'm just learning to program in C++ via G++.

It seems there are different convensions for naming programs.

GNU's libg++ has *.hP and *.ccP extensions.

There also seems to be a school of thought to follow the standard C
naming convensions. I assume this is to make tools like make(1) use C++
files without any hassle of defining new rules. B. Stroustrup's book
follows this pattern.

Could someone help me out here. I'm a little lost on how I should name files.

Could someone also describe the reasoning behind the naming convensions if
there is any.

Thanks.
