n. Comments (explanatory notes attached to program instructions) that occupy
|
|
|
|
|
several lines by themselves; so called because in assembler and C code they
|
|
|
|
|
are often surrounded by a box in a style something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
/************************************************* * * This is a boxed
|
|
|
|
|
comment in C style * *************************************************/
|
|
|
|
|
Common variants of this style omit the asterisks in column 2 or add a
|
|
|
|
|
matching row of asterisks closing the right side of the box. The sparest
|
|
|
|
|
variant omits all but the comment delimiters themselves; the box is implied.
|
|
|
|
|
Oppose winged comments.
