The ditto mark and the quote character are not the same character, and the comments are nonsensical since they used the wrong character. If the writer means Ditto mark, then you type the Ditto character: 〃 (U+3003) and not the double quotation mark symbol: " (U+0022) Actually, for the below example it would be better to just repeat the small amount text; just type copy and paste "context switches" 3 times, instead of trying to be cute and confusing some readers in the process. The comment for a structure member should stand on its own. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditto_mark > this is quite clear here, for example: > >> u_int64_t p_uru_nvcsw; /* LONG: voluntary context switches. */ >> - u_int64_t p_uru_nivcsw; /* LONG: involuntary ". */ >> + u_int64_t p_uru_nivcsw; /* LONG: involuntary. */ > -- -JH
