Opening and reading all the included files could be costly. Also it is "ancient" wisdom so it might predate compilers that could detect the include guard pattern and had to repeatedly preprocess the same files. There is an ancient "Notes on programming" article by Rob Pike that comes up every now and then with a paragraph against include guards for that outdated reason. |
