EVERY programming language defines it's own rules. I found Java, then PHP unusual after starting with VB and VBSCRIPT, but I learned and accepted the rules (grammar) of the language and pressed on. I figured it was better to get the work done than to ask the world to change to accommodate me.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Roman Hatsiev Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2006 11:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] bug in srcds and hlds My point is that in EVERY programming language which is using double slashes for comments such comments are terminated by end of line and nothing else. Even more - in every case I can think of all comments which do not have special closing tag (like /* ... */) are terminated with end of line and nothing else. I'm not looking for workaround for this problem. I state that this behaviour is unnatural, counter-intuitive and should be fixed.
