This depends a bunch on what your goals are. There are no specially named files, so looking for a particular filename is not particularly useful. It is sometimes informative to find the file containing the main, but not always.

My job at NCC Group involves a lot of code reviews, so frequently the files that are of interest to me are the ones that contain the most defects. I typically identify these by compiling with compiler warnings turned up and warning suppression turned down. I'll frequently also make use of static and dynamic analysis, including the GCC and Clang sanitizers.
