Inclusion Guards Necessary?

Are inclusion guards necessary to prevent multiple modules from
importing the same shared module multiple times?

No, multiple imports of a python module just do a lookup and return the
same module object as was returned by the previous import.

Hello, at the moment python-dev is discussing including Jason Orendorff's path module into the standard library. Do you have any other good and valued Python modules that you would think are bug-free, mature (that includes a long release distance) and useful enough to be granted a place in the stdlib? For my part, ctypes seems like a suggestion to start with.

The #ifndef..#define..#endif method doesn't seem to be working, although all the documentation I've read indicates that it should. As a small example, I have an empty console...

Hi group, I've got a question concerning inclusion of .hpp files. Currently I'm including all needed header files in the .cpp file. This means all dependencies of the package and all dependencies of these dependencies and so on. This is quite ugly. A start of an "Example.cpp" file could look like this

Hello all, To protect against multiple inclusions, it is standard practice to enclose the contents of a header file in a construct like this: #ifndef FOO_INCLUDED #define FOO_INCLUDED .... #endif

Multiple inclusion of the same header file can cause the compilation to fail because of multiple definitions of the same type. That's why it's standard practice to write all headers like this: // SomeClass.hh #ifndef SOME_CLASS_HH #define SOME_CLASS_HH class SomeClass {
