Yea. > Personally, I'd prefer to continue avoiding // comments and > intermingled declarations of variables and code on grounds of style > and readability. I don't really care much about either. The calculus for intermingled declarations would personally change the minute that we decided to allow some C++ - allowing for scoped locks etc via RAII - but not earlier. The thing I'd really want is designated initializers for structs. Makes code for statically allocated structs *so* much more readable. And guess who's working on code that adds statically allocated structs with lots of members... > BTW, I think a bush is probably not a nearly sufficient place to hide. > The wrath of Tom will find you wherever you may go... :-) That's why I keep moving. At 200 mph on a train :P. A continent away. Greetings, Andres Freund
