The current status is I have finished this project (as of revision 11296) for our C code. Because of all the different comment styles that have been transformed and eyeballed, the logic in scripts/convert_comment.py is much tighter now. For example, it allows continued comments (// lines terminated by backslash) in the special case where the next line is a comment as well (i.e., starts with zero or more blanks followed by //). There is also a reasonable algorithm to ignore quoted comment identifiers as well as a special stanza of logic to transform the many different forms of "horizontal-rule" comment lines in our code base to a standard form.
Although our C code is done, there is lots more comment styling to do for our C++ and Java code. So this project will continue for a while. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
