I've now heard two conflicting instructions on multi-line comments in osmocom code; I'd like this clarified, which is the preferred multiline comment style?
I have noticed these differences in the code and thought about it too.
From Holger, first hand:
/* * multi * line */
Holger's approach is the general style according to the Linux kernel coding style. That is the reference point that I have used. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle
vs. from Harald (?), via hearsay:
/* multi * line */
This is a modified form of the net/ and drivers/net style of the Linux kernel where the comment close is on the same vs. separate lines. /* multi * line */ I prefer Holger's comment style, however, I have limited say in this battle. -TT
