They are when devs put all the code into those header files.




...does that happen? Outside of C++ templates or inlining is there a need to pollute the header file?


A need? Definitely not. It's terrible practice. Does it happen? Absolutely, I've seen it many times. Why some C++ devs do this, I really don't know; I think it's just laziness.
