| Printed | Page 4 Section regarding comments, near end of page |
Most of this book is very thorough about pointing out features that were not introduced into the language specification until C99. However, this paragraph about comments mentions both the original multiline "/*...*/" comment style, and also the single-line "//..." comment style borrowed from C++. The C++-style comments were not officially made a part of C until C99 -- despite the fact that some compilers, including gcc, already accepted C++-style comments in C prior to C99, and continue to do so even when the C99 specification is not being used! It could be considered misleading that this detail is omitted, because of the diligence of the rest of the book in pointing out C99-specific features. |
