what about replacing #ifndex/#define/#endif constructs with #pragma once?

Why?

If I understand correctly, it is not part of the standard and should not be used if portability is a concern. Furthermore, since the project is rather small, the benefits of using it are limited.

Note that I didn't know much about it and my sources are:

• wikipedia article
• this answer
• this one

• less bug prone (forgotten define name change after using a copy of an old file as a skeleton or after simply renaming a file)
• less code
• all compilers that we might target support it
  (but it's of course purely your decision - just wanted to confirm if we go one or the other way)

[tvatter]

OK, that's the three advantages that I had understood ;)

I don't like the "non-standard" thing, but I have no strong opinion on this.

Thomas?

I don't have any opinion on this. The #ifndef is certainly more common, at least I've seen this way more often. But if #pragma once is the more safe and modern version, we can go with that too.
