Hi Guys
I am currently working on a project and it is constantly being updated, when
I change code I normall comment out the old line(s) and then retype my new
code, just incase I need to revert back, I normally clear this down when
finished but sometimes it gets left in, I was just wondering if comments in
code slow down the performance of the program. Or if the compiler leaves
these out.

Hi,
The comments are not compiled.

Michael,
It does nothing with your code however it let me think on a program I once
had to maintanance in far past what was 10cm thick of pages and that was
full with comments and partially with comments deleted code as you said.
It was unreadable, when I was ready (I just made it new) there where (as far
as I remember me) basicly 4 pages left.
Because the unreadability there where a lot of functions which where double
done and a lot of functions where active however the results were never
used. The new program was 4 times faster and that were no milliseconds in
that time.
Just to give you an idea
Cor
In addition to Cor's suggestions, you may wish to look into a number of
tools such as:
Visual Source Safe or WinCVS for version control
Ndoc and VBcommenter for code documentation
All are either a google away or can be found on sourcforge.com or
gotdotnet.com and they will go a long way to cutting through the
obsfurcation.

The compiler leaves them out and they thus don't slow down the runtime
performance of your application. Nevertheless, compilation time may be
higher if there are loads of comments spread over the code.

Hi,
I proud myself in having good comments, (/**/, // etc...), all over my
scripts as well as a very descriptive section at the beginning of the
script.
No correct me if i am wrong but php must still 'read' those comments?
So, do comments technically slow the whole process?
Or is the loss of CPU/Time/memory so negligible that i do not need to worry
about it.

Hello,
I've been just investigating IE conditional comments - hiding things from

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, I'm wondering why Python doesn't have
any multiline comments. One can abuse triple-quotes for that purpose, but
that's obviously not what it's for and doesn't nest properly. ML has a
very elegant system for nested comments with (* and *).
Using an editor to throw #s in front of every line has limitations. Your
editor has to support it and you have to know how to use that feature. Not
exactly...

Several weeks ago I asked what comments I could pass to DB2 in a SELECT
statement. I don't remember whether I said via PHP/ODBC. I was assured
that both /* */ style comment blocks and -- comment lines were allowed.
Unfortunately, neither work. Both -- and /* */ comments cause a
"premature end of statement". Any sage advice?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
