Hi,
Sry for the misunderstanding question, but my question was why the "//" comments are not used.
Consistency I guess.
We try to stick to the kernel coding style ( see linux/Documentation/CodingStyle ), which states:
<quote> Linux style for comments is the C89 "/* ... */" style. Don't use C99-style "// ..." comments. </quote>
Cheers,
Sylvain
