Include directives/statements are often used in configuration files as well as in computer programming. C's #include should definitely be mentioned here, too. --Pnm (talk) 04:24, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this 'discussion' was to proceed with the merger under the principle of silent consensus. EdwardH (talk) 19:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging include directive, header file and copybook (programming) into one article. Copybooks and header files are different words for the same thing and all the articles describe how they are implemented in various languages. EdwardH (talk) 20:15, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

probably a file 'vector.h'[edit]

Where does this "probably" come from?
In GCC, one of the most popular C++ compilers, "vector" is actually a file in "/include/std" subdirectory. This has further includes for the STL including "#include <bits/stl_vector.h>" but no file called "vector.h".
In XCode, another most popular C++ compiler, vector is also a file in the XCode package "include/C++/v1/vector", XCode uses LLVM which is one of the most popular C++ compilers.

A request for history[edit]

When and where did this paradigm get started? I was specifically wondering if it was around before Ritche got C going. 147.105.3.203 (talk) 17:46, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
