Yup, I used to do the other one too but nowadays, I much prefer not
wasting that additional line unless specific circumstances, like I
want a kind of "title" in front of a whole block of other definitions
with their own comments.

Something like:


/*
 * foo management stuff
 */


/* This puts the bar in the foo
 */
code code code code

/* This does something you don't want to know about
 */
code code code code


But does it realy matter that much ? :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
