My policy is this:
1. Always use C comments. Perferably like this:
/*
* This is a
* loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg
* comment
*/
/* and this is a short one */
2. When I need to comment out large pieces of code+comments, I enclose
the
code between #if 0 and #endif. VERY effective, and a lot less ugly
than // comments.
I do use // comments while debugging because it's kinda easy to comment
out one line like that, but I try to avoid them in code I distribute.
Of course, if everybody here is for C++ comments I can adapt :)
