Not kidding, my best idea so far is "foo.clinic.h.h",

Why not always put clinic into its own directory?

Modules/mathmodule.c -> Modules/clinic/mathmodule.c.h
Modules/mathmodule.h -> Modules/clinic/mathmodule.h.h

At least that is consistent, allows easy exclusion in tools, and gets rid
of the additional "clinic" in the filename.

If AC will work with both .c and .h files. I think a separate directory is the way to go.

In theory, Argument Clinic works with any file for which it can iterate over by lines and recognize comments. It current supports C and Python files and automatically recognizes a bunch of extensions.

Okay, I'm taking a poll. I will total your answers and take the result... strongly under advisement. ;-)

The rules:
\* The poll will be over in 48 hours, maybe sooner if a winner emerges early.
\* Please express your vote from -1 to +1\. -0 and +0 will only be differentiated during a tiebreaker.
\* If you don't vote for a contestant, your vote will be assumed to be 0.
\* You may change your vote at any time while the poll is still running.
\* If you wish to nominate a new contestant, you may. Please give the contestant a name, and express how it would transform the filenames "foo.c" and "foo.h". I would strongly prefer that all transformations be expressable using str.format(transformation, filename="foo.c", basename="foo", extension=".c") .


The contestants so far:

Contestant 1: "Add .clinic.h"
foo.c -> foo.c.clinic.h
foo.h -> foo.h.clinic.h
Contestant 2: "Add .ac.h"
foo.c -> foo.c.ac.h
foo.h -> foo.h.ac.h
Contestant 3: "Add .clinic"
foo.c -> foo.c.clinic
foo.h -> foo.h.clinic
Contestant 4: "Put in clinic directory, add .h"
foo.c -> clinic/foo.c.h
foo.h -> clinic/foo.h.h
Contestant 5: "Put in \_\_clinic\_\_ directory, add .h"
foo.c -> \_\_clinic\_\_/foo.c.h
foo.h -> \_\_clinic\_\_/foo.h.h

I didn't add a contestant for what Stefan Krah originally suggested ("foo.c -> foo.h") because it's not clear how this would handle "foo.h".


You'll notice the current behavior is no longer in the running,
