C++20 module kinds:
├── Named module interface unit  (.cppm / .ixx)  — exports declarations
├── Module implementation unit   (.cpp)           — defines module members
├── Module partition             (.cppm)          — internal module subdivision
└── Header unit                  (any header)     — import a legacy header as module

// math.cppm — module interface unit
export module math;          // declares the module name

export int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
export double pi = 3.14159;

// Non-exported (module-private)
int internal_helper() { return 42; }

// main.cpp — consumer
import math;                 // import the module
#include <iostream>          // legacy header (still works)

int main() {
    std::cout << add(2, 3) << "\n";  // 5
    std::cout << pi << "\n";
}

// math-core.cppm — partition
export module math:core;     // partition 'core' of module 'math'

export int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

// math.cppm — primary module interface
export module math;
export import :core;         // re-export the partition

// math-impl.cpp — implementation unit (no export)
module math;                 // belongs to 'math' module, not a partition
// has access to all math declarations, but exports nothing

// Import a standard library header as a module unit
import <iostream>;           // header unit (compiler generates BMI)
import <vector>;

// Or import a project header (must be compilable as header unit)
import "myheader.h";

module;                      // Global Module Fragment starts here
#include <cassert>           // macros like assert() are available
export module mymod;
// ... rest of module

# Compile module interface → produces .pcm (precompiled module)
clang++ -std=c++20 --precompile math.cppm -o math.pcm

# Compile implementation using the .pcm
clang++ -std=c++20 -fmodule-file=math=math.pcm -c math.cpp -o math.o

# Compile consumer
clang++ -std=c++20 -fmodule-file=math=math.pcm main.cpp math.o -o prog

# GCC ≥11 supports modules (experimental ≥11, better ≥14)
# Compile interface unit → produces .gcm in gcm.cache/
g++ -std=c++20 -fmodules-ts math.cppm -c -o math.o

# Compiler auto-discovers .gcm files in gcm.cache/
g++ -std=c++20 -fmodules-ts main.cpp math.o -o prog
