If I have some generated c/c++ source files, say from gSoap or Lex/Yacc (and my build rules take care of the generation), is the convention to generate these into the build folder, or the original source folder? I understand I could use either, and in some ways it makes more sense for them to go into the build folder. But it also feels a little weird that all of my c files are not in the same place if I do that.</div>
