Actually our normal style is to write /* not FOO */
rather than /* !FOO */
I find this style of #ifdef blocks to be much too cryptic for my tastes.
It is a fine way of saying what command the #endif or #else matches.
However, that is all it does. By all means write additional comments
to give more information!
I find that it is much
clearer if your comments for the #else and #endif portions state exactly
what #ifdef line they go to
What would it mean to "state exactly"? How can you be more explicit
than our current convention?
I would like to thank you for testing this patch on Linux.
Actually he tested it on the GNU/Linux system. Linux alone is just
part of a system--you can't run anything on Linux but itself.
Would you please call the system "GNU/Linux"?
