C++ primer 58页上说头文件一般包含类的定义,extern变量的声明和函数的声明。
baidu了下关于声明和定义的文章,让人看了后还是很疑惑,还是 MSDN上的一段说明比较清晰:
Declarations and Definitions (C++)

Declarations tell the compiler that a program element or name exists. Definitions specify
what code or data the name describes. A name must be declared before it can be used.
Declarations
A declaration introduces one or more names into a program. Declarations can occur more than once in a program. Therefore, classes, structures, enumerated types, and other user-defined types can be declared for each compilation unit. The constraint on this
multiple declaration is that all declarations must be identical. Declarations also serve as definitions, except when the declaration:
Is a function prototype (a function declaration with no function body).
Contains the extern specifier but no initializer (objects and variables) or function body (functions). This signifies that the definition is not necessarily in the current translation unit and gives the
name external linkage.
Is of a static data member inside a class declaration.
Because static class data members are discrete variables shared by all objects of the class, they must be defined and initialized outside the class declaration. (For more information about classes and class members, seeClasses.)
Is a class name declaration with no following definition, such as class T;.
Is a typedef statement.
Examples of declarations that are also definitions are:
// Declare and define int variables i and j. int i; int j = 10; // Declare enumeration suits. enum suits { Spades = 1, Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds }; // Declare class CheckBox. class CheckBox : public Control { public: Boolean IsChecked(); virtual int ChangeState() = 0; };
Some declarations that are not definitions are:
extern int i; char *strchr( const char *Str, const char Target );
Definitions
A definition is a unique specification of an object or variable, function, class, or enumerator. Because definitions must be unique, a program can contain only one definition for a given program element. There can be a many-to-one correspondence between
declarations and definitions. There are two cases in which a program element can be declared and not defined:
A function is declared but never referenced with a function call or with an expression that takes the function's address.
A class is used only in a way that does not require its definition be known. However, the class must be declared. The following code illustrates such a case:
// definitions.cpp class WindowCounter; // Forward reference; no definition class Window { // Definition of WindowCounter not required static WindowCounter windowCounter; }; int main() { }
