Maybe, but I consider rejecting mixed code/declarations to be a feature :-)
Well, I'm curious to hear more about that... Why do you think that...
int i;
...
...
for(i = 0; i < n; i++) ..
is better than
for(int i = 0; i < ..) ... ???
I find the second much more compact and readable than the first.
C++ comments are handy for quick debugging hacks, but I'm not sure they add
any real value to production code.
Their value lies (at least for me) in things line
if (foo) // now I'll do...
{
}
and for example
struct foo {
int myint ; // this int is ...
double mydouble ; // this double is...
};
in a one line comments, using /* */ is just horrid! :)
