Javadoc comments in kernel source?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm working on a driver that I might try to get incorporated into the official Linux kernel source tree. One of the things I've noticed while looking at the current Linux kernel source code is that it's very poorly documented, at least by my standards.

For my code, I want to add lots of Javadoc-style comments. For instance, I comment every function and structure, and almost every local variable.

Would Linus and/or his lieutenants reject my code because it's commented too much?
