Agree, CODEORG-3 adds a bunch of pain. There's a reason other languages don't have headers but since C programmers have to live with them can't I just include the single relevant header and move on with writing my code. Yes there is a shared cost to that (compile time) but '#pragma once' is well supported and futzing with header order is a non trivial time-sink too.

On the same lines the template 'cute tricks' are where you get your performance, stability and readability from C++. I definitely agree that you should drop into assembly to see what the compiler is doing with your code but that can and should apply to heavily templated code too.

Pragma once only prevents double inclusion within the translation unit.

On large projects bad header hygiene can cause significant compilation overhead.
