XCode keeps a hierarchy of filetypes. (You can examine it in the file
types pane of the preferences). "sourcecode" is the parent of all
source files; sourcecode.cpp is the parent of all c++ files. Children
of sourcecode.cpp include sourcecode.cpp.h and sourcecode.cpp.cpp
(header and source files, respectively.) This matters if there were
different syntax hilighting rules, etc. for the two.
Note that "sourcecode.cpp.cpp" files can have extensions .cpp, .cxx
(and I think others) and still be recognized as such. The ".cpp" in
"sourcecode.cpp" isn't so much a file extension as a namespace.

On my XCode project window, I clicked on a file entry called
"main.cpp" and did a "Get Info".
I selected the "General" tab in the Get Info window.
There's an area called "File Type".
I selected the first one on the popup menu says "Default by File",
and it switched automatically to "sourcecode.cpp.cpp".
I clicked on the popup and I see there's the "sourcecode.cpp" and
"sourcecode.cpp.cpp".
What's the diff between those two?
Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I went to Terminal, the file is really called "main.cpp".
