Too new. /**/ comment out is bogus anyway. #if 0 ... #endif is better. > On the similar note, the ability to move declarations closer to the > point of use in code is IMO nice feature, too. The style(9) doesn't > mention this either. C doesn't allow it, or didn't until recently. That style tends to lead to really gross things too. Functions should be short enough that it doesn't matter. But changing style(9) is hard. We have better things to do with our lives. :-) Warner _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
