As part of WT-10458 the remaining .cxx extensions in the codebase are being renamed to .cpp. However despite modifying the CMakeLists.txt in the the bench/workgen directory the workgenPYTHON_wrap.cxx file is still being generated as .cxx I attempted a fix using:

@@ -69,6 +69,7 @@ list(APPEND swig_flags "-interface;_workgen")
 list(APPEND swig_flags "-threads")
 list(APPEND swig_flags "-O")
 list(APPEND swig_flags "-Wall")
+list(APPEND swig_flags "-cppext;cpp")
 # Pass in our generated include directories.
 list(APPEND swig_flags "-I${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/include")
 list(APPEND swig_flags "-I${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/config")

This didn't have the desired outcome, I'm creating this ticket to track the issue and unblock WT-10458.

Scope:

• Update file generation to create a .cpp file instead of a .cxx file.
