2671.0. "bcreate header" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Thu Nov 14 1996 11:52

Subj: 	bcreate header

The bcreate command creates a default header for .h files
that leaves something to be desired.  The RCS ID string is
only available in a comment string.  This will not appear
in the compiled object.  Wouldn't it be better to use the
same header as for .c files?  This would allow someone to
verify that they don't have conflicting versions of a header
file, a common problem in a busy development environment.

Also, what is the difference between

	#pragma ident "foo"

and

	#ident "foo"

The kernel appears to use #pragma consistently where as
most of user space appears to use "#ident".  The bcreate
command now always generates #pragma.  What is the correct
procedure?
