I'm not so sure that this is such a great idea ... using C comments will trim another 2 or three characters off the space you have available on each line (depending on whether you like /*comment*/ or /* comment */) so you will either need to be more terse in order to fit, or have more comments run onto two lines, neither of which sound like an improvememt to maintainability). The 80-column rule has considerable merit (I like to have two code windows side-by-side, and my employer has shown no signs of wanting to shell out for a 24+" monitor for me :-( ... but I'm really not so sure why people are so anti-c++ comments {BTW, I don't see this prohibition in Documentation/CodingStyle ... is this just another unwritten rule that everyone knows about?) -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
