an early read.)
The latter is better in my opinion!
If I can have only one, I agree the latter is better -- but I want to
mention that sometimes I've needed to see what the I(P)DL compiler has
produced from a particular definition file in order to fix a bug. For
instance, a few years ago -- this may have been fixed since -- there
were many gaps in the documentation of what C++ types corresponded to
IDL types and vice versa, so one had to look at all three of the IDL,
the generated .h, and the hand-written .cpp that expected to implement
an interface to understand what was *really* going on.
So, if you can make DXR do both, that would be better. (With a clear
indication that certain files are generated, and where the real source
is, if at all possible.)
