Stroustrup's PPP2 std_lib_facilities.h corresponding .cpp file help needed

As the title says, I need help creating a corresponding .cpp file to go with the library access header for Stroustrup's PPP2 book, std_lib_facilities.h. The definitions for the functions and other "big" things should go in there, but I'm not sure what else to put there aside from the function definitions. Hence the post.

So anyway, here's the header as it is on Stroustrup's website that goes with the book:

/*
std_lib_facilities.h
*/

/*
simple "Programming: Principles and Practice using C++ (second edition)" course header to
be used for the first few weeks.
It provides the most common standard headers (in the global namespace)
and minimal exception/error support.

Students: please don't try to understand the details of headers just yet.
All will be explained. This header is primarily used so that you don't have
to understand every concept all at once.

By Chapter 10, you don't need this file and after Chapter 21, you'll understand it

Revised April 25, 2010: simple_error() added

Revised November 25 2013: remove support for pre-C++11 compilers, use C++11: <chrono>
Revised November 28 2013: add a few container algorithms
Revised June 8 2014: added #ifndef to workaround Microsoft C++11 weakness

Why do you need a source file? It appears to be complete as is.
I know it's complete. I just think I should keep my own source code from becoming too big on memory load by having to always compile all of this with the header. Wouldn't it better to put the definitions in a separate source code file and only put the declarations in the header? That's why.

No, since most of that header is dealing with templates it is better to leave it as is. Templates don't get compiled until they are actually used.

Besides if you continue with the book sooner or later you will no longer need this header file.

Alright, got it. Thanks for the replies, guys.
