Different comment styles for .c/.h and .cc files

[xinxinmo]

Hello,

I've noticed that addlicense generates different comment styles for C/C++ header and source files. Specifically, .cc files receive a // style header, while .c and .h files get a /* ... */ style header.

I'm wondering if this is the intended behavior or a potential bug?

This inconsistency can be problematic for projects that have a strict coding style and require a uniform comment style across all files.

Could you please clarify if this is the intended behavior? If so, would you consider adding an option to configure the comment style for different file extensions?

Thank you for your time and for this useful tool!

It is expected though might be a bit surprising given both extensions are largely synonymous for C/C++. I would suspect this was based on a style guide or existing convention. We can look at options to be a bit flexible in style, and of course would always welcome a pull request.

.c and .h files receive the /* ... */ format https://github.com/google/addlicense/blob/master/main.go#L295

where .cc and .hh receive the // format https://github.com/google/addlicense/blob/master/main.go#L308

Thanks for the reply. I'll create a PR for this.
