Atleast in the module (v1) we have stuck to this coding style, alongwith tabs (no spaces), etc. from linus' style. But tools, expecially debugocfs, is another story.... thanks to an unnamed rebel. ;-) Villalovos, John L wrote: >Sunil Mushran wrote: > > >>I thought Kurt was already done with mkfs. >> >>But comments can't hurt... unless it is C++ style. :-) >>Please could you use C style comments... /* */. >> >> > >Just curious why you don't want C++ style comments.
