Xcode 4 C++ users, rejoice!It's really annoying that Xcode 4 has never shipped with a template for creating a new C++ class, with header and implementation file.
It lets you create objective C classes with header and implementation. But you always have to create a C++ header file in one step, and then the implementation in a second step.
And, honestly, why do those steps take so long to update the project?
It's not good enough, and so here's the answer...
The Xcode 4 C++ Class Template
I've created a super-simple to install C++ class template and installer.
Grab it on Github here.
Using it is a simple case of running a script and restarting Xcode. I've built in support for Xcode 4.2 and the new Xcode 4.3. The installer runs a number of sanity checks to make sure you're not about to install something dumb on your computer.
Full docs are in the README file up there.
I hope you find it useful. I know I do.
Making your life better, one class at a time...

Thanks for this! I was about to make one myself but I haven't gotten around to learning how to do this is Xcode 4. Seems it got alot tougher since 3.
Are you sure that templates aren't recognized anywhere in the ~/Library area, like before?
Also, the install-Xcode4.2.sh script fails if you have both 4.2 and 4.3 installed (I have 4.3 installed but I don't use it since it sucks the cpu out of my computer when navigating heavily templated C++ code.
Just what I was looking for, thanks!
