Header Files

Linking Header Files

The use declarations of Jule are used to include C++ headers in the Jule code to be generated. It's just a little different. A use declaration should be told that this is a C++ include and the path should be given as a string.

For example:

jule
cpp use "<stdlib.h>"
jule
cpp use "<iostream>"
jule
cpp use "header.hpp"

The correctness and validity of the file path is checked by the compiler. Valid header extensions; .h, .hh, .hpp, .hxx

Linkind Header Implementations

You may not write your header files to include all the code (with implementation of declarations). Typical usage is in the form of a header file and a separate source code file for implementation of declarations. For this reason, you can also link your implementation C++ source code files just like header files.

For example:

jule
cpp use "myfile.cpp"
jule
cpp use "implementation.cxx"

The correctness and validity of the file path is checked by the compiler. Valid source file extensions; .cpp, .cc, .cxx, .c, .mm
