I hope that is all right.
Just to clarify, you've copied cpp files from src into headers? If so, why?
src and headers are intentionally separate. src contains source files
- containing the definition of functions. The headers just provide the
declarations - they provide the interfaces for other code to call -
not the implementations. This means that the implementations need only
be compiled once into some library. If you put the implementations in
a header, they are compiled into every source file that includes that
header. For some small functions this might be appropriate, but for
larger ones it isn't.
