Thanks Gaby,
I am confused by this statement:

You only use it to argue in favor of a specific suffix for interface files.
But it seems for the same reason you need a specific suffix to determine
whether a C++ source file is an internal partition.
Otherwise as you correctly points out tools have to read the contents.
IIUC, currently Visual C++ requires a specific command-line options
(which is not allowed to be used otherwise).
So, the current policy forces one of two consequences:
a) To support generic rules in built systems, programmers have to use a
special suffix for them
b) Or ALL tools, for which it matters whether a unit is an internal
partition, have to parse the contents of C++ source files
So, why do you provide a specific suffix to help to avoid /interface,
while not providing a specific suffix to help to avoid /internalPartition ?
However, the obvious question is whether we can agree on yet another
suffix (although we cannot agree on .ixx yet)?
For me the consequence is obvious:
While my script (clmod.py at http://github.com/josuttis/cppmodules) can
be used as a workaround,
the community is eagerly waiting for a fix of Visual C++ so that it
allows any suffix (and command-lines with all units of a program passed
at once).
Anything else is currently a show stopper for bringing modules to life
(which is sad, because what I hear from feedback of my trainings is that
programmers are eagerly waiting to try out modules).
THEN we can see whether 2 new suffixes are necessary in practice and
discuss them...
Thanks
Nico

That is what build systems are for, to abstract over the details. My hope is that professional teaching of programming with modules direct C++ programmers to relying on their build systems.

You only use it to argue in favor of a specific suffix for interface files.
But it seems for the same reason you need a specific suffix to determine
whether a C++ source file is an internal partition.
Otherwise as you correctly points out tools have to read the contents.
IIUC, currently Visual C++ requires a specific command-line options
(which is not allowed to be used otherwise).
So, the current policy forces one of two consequences:
a) To support generic rules in built systems, programmers have to use a
special suffix for them
b) Or ALL tools, for which it matters whether a unit is an internal
partition, have to parse the contents of C++ source files
So, why do you provide a specific suffix to help to avoid /interface,
while not providing a specific suffix to help to avoid /internalPartition ?
However, the obvious question is whether we can agree on yet another
suffix (although we cannot agree on .ixx yet)?
For me the consequence is obvious:
While my script (clmod.py at http://github.com/josuttis/cppmodules) can
be used as a workaround,
the community is eagerly waiting for a fix of Visual C++ so that it
allows any suffix (and command-lines with all units of a program passed
at once).
Anything else is currently a show stopper for bringing modules to life
(which is sad, because what I hear from feedback of my trainings is that
programmers are eagerly waiting to try out modules).
THEN we can see whether 2 new suffixes are necessary in practice and
discuss them...
Thanks

That is what build systems are for, to abstract over the details. My hope is that professional teaching of programming with modules direct C++ programmers to relying on their build systems.
