Agreed. Moving code between bits of the compiler should not mean creating ugly inconsistencies of formatting and I can see no good reason to convert existing comments. The same applies to all other aspects of formatting that are meaningful for both C and C++ code (such as the presence or position of whitespace in various cases): keep the existing practice that is usual for C code in GCC and the GNU project rather than adopting something else because it is said to be conventional for C++. -- Joseph S.
