Talk:Include directive

Expand with other uses
Include directives/statements are often used in configuration files as well as in computer programming. C's #include should definitely be mentioned here, too. --Pnm (talk) 04:24, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose merging include directive, header file and copybook (programming) into one article. Copybooks and header files are different words for the same thing and all the articles describe how they are implemented in various languages. (talk) 20:15, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

probably a file 'vector.h'
Where does this "probably" come from? In GCC, one of the most popular C++ compilers, "vector" is actually a file in "/include/std" subdirectory. This has further includes for the STL including "#include " but no file called "vector.h". In XCode, another most popular C++ compiler, vector is also a file in the XCode package "include/C++/v1/vector", XCode uses LLVM which is one of the most popular C++ compilers. 87.102.44.18 (talk) 12:31, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

A request for history
When and where did this paradigm get started? I was specifically wondering if it was around before Ritche got C going. 147.105.3.203 (talk) 17:46, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
