Let's carry it via MTD. BTW: Shouldn't it be s/kernel/comment/ in the subject line? Thanks, //richard

Yes, it should. Can it be fixed while applying? Pavel

Yes, C99 is infected, too, but still C++ is original source of infection :-). Pavel

You could call them Java comments if you want, but that would be equally silly. In the kernel, they are C99 comments. Valid, but not our preferred style (which is fair enough, unlike our idiotic refusal to use C99 integer types).

See https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/bcpl.html and scans refered therein; let's keep snobbery historically accurate... IOW, it's not C++ invention - it's BCPL one.

Ah, longing for the return of BPTRs and BSTRs ;-) Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@linux-m68k.org In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.

We are using those compiler settings so the cases where your compilation produces different results in C99 and more classic C are no longer a risk 8) int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int x = 1//**/ -1; if (x == 0) puts("Ewww C99"); exit(0); }
