Headers named '*.hxx' are ignored about cppclean HOT 5 OPEN

Interesting! It looks like @r-e-d added this in e7a4645. But I don't see a rationale for that conditional. Unless there are objections, I think we should remove the conditional.

from cppclean.

In a project, we include the ".hxx" at the end of the ".h". And as the ".hxx" contains templated code, it produces an erroneous "Header does not need to be #included; use a forward declaration instead".

This line is used to ignore ".hxx" for this warning.

Could that behaviour be made optional, instead of default? Only it's not documented, and very surprising. I'd be happy to submit a PR for this.

Alternatively, there could be a mechanism to silence particular warnings, either through a flag to cppclean or code annotations.

Unfortunately, as it is, it makes cppclean essentially unusable for projects using ".cxx/.hxx" file extensions.

I guess this line can be changed into :
if filename != self.filename + 'xx':

This way it will only prevent a warning if foo.h include foo.hxx (and not regress my use case).

Or perhaps make it an option that can be configured?
