I am currently struggling with a compiler error on a templated code.
The error is complete non-sense. I think the issue here is that I am
including files in a loop. To handle templates I usually have 3 types
of files:
- .h : interface + inline function
- .cxx : implementation (no templates)
- .txx: implementation of templates (with #if blocker to prevent
multiple inclusion)

The problem is that I often struggle : when to include those txx
files ?

I usually just put it all in the .h file, but I recently I tried a
similar scheme with the implementation in .hpp files. But with the twist
that I included the .hpp file at the end of the .h file (which gives the
same effect as if it was all in the .h files but made the .h files a bit
"cleaner".

It's also much easier to switch to export using this scheme,
when it becomes available.
