That would indeed be a succinct statement of the other perspective on code comments, which as mentioned in my original message is a perspective that I understand but disagree with. :) The fact that this is disputed and to some degree a matter of style is a large part of why I mentioned that I don't consider this difference decisive. That said, I really do recommend upstart as an example of a nicely-written and readable code base, although that's partly because much of it is written the way I would have written that code. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
