- <p>cpplib has two interfaces—one is exposed internally only, and the
- other is for both internal and external use.
- </p>
- <p>The convention is that functions and types that are exposed to multiple
- files internally are prefixed with ‘<samp>_cpp_</samp>’, and are to be found in
- the file <samp>internal.h</samp>. Functions and types exposed to external
- clients are in <samp>cpplib.h</samp>, and prefixed with ‘<samp>cpp_</samp>’. For
- historical reasons this is no longer quite true, but we should strive to
- stick to it.
- </p>
- <p>We are striving to reduce the information exposed in <samp>cpplib.h</samp> to the
- bare minimum necessary, and then to keep it there. This makes clear
- exactly what external clients are entitled to assume, and allows us to
- change internals in the future without worrying whether library clients
- are perhaps relying on some kind of undocumented implementation-specific
- behavior.
