how to set syntax=cpp for *.h files in vim

Question

How do I make vim use syntax=cpp for *.h *.H *.C files? What line(s) should I add to vimrc?

Answer 1

Try something like:

if has("autocmd")
    " Enable file type detection
    filetype on
    autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.h,*.c setfiletype cpp
endif

I am not sure if file extension is case sensitive (I am using Windows).
