This is a completely personal preference, at least for the person (s) starting the project. Whatever you choose, be consistent.

There are 4 main extensions in the C ++ source code:

  • .C (uppercase C)
  • .cpp
  • .cxx
  • .cc

Choose the one that best suits you and expect that you will have to solve problems on some other platforms.

, , . Windows, MacOS X ( ) , , . , "file.c" "file.c" (, , "file.c" ) .

Google, Google.

There is no standard extension for C ++ source files. There are some widely used extensions, but you can use any that you want if your toolbox supports it (I don’t know one that does not). You can publish all your source files in C ++ using .html if you want.

Typing.cc is quite a bit simpler than .cpp, and for all other purposes they are equivalent. So yes.
