comments

I'm working on a PHP app that has several objects that can be commented on. Each comment can be voted on, with users being able to give it +1 or -1 (like Digg or Reddit). Right now I'm planning on having a 'votes' table that has carries user_id and their vote info, which seems to work fine. The thing is, each object has hundreds of comments that are stored in a separate comments table. After I load the comments, I'm having to tally the votes and then individually check each vote against the user to make sure they can only vote once. This works but just seems really database intensive - a lot

I need to comment massive amounts of information in only a handful of files, and when I look around Google and here at SO, I continue to find results matching coding standards , when I need commenting standards. My coding matches most coding standards except not when it comes to commenting. Could someone please provide examples for the following? <? // beginning of file comments require( 'filename.php' ); // require or include, with filename public class Test { } // class without constructor public class Test // class with constructor, if different from above { public function __constructor()

I am writing a utility which is supposed to parse C++ (and C) header files, extract the structs, enums, fields etc. and generate code in other languages based on the extracted information. I decided to use libclang for this. I'm using a RecursiveASTVisitor and it seems I'm able to extract all the information I need, except for comments. I want to have the comment which appears right above every declaration (field, struct, class, enum) read, and add its text when I generate the code in other languages. The problem is that all the samples I saw which use comments use CxCursor and the C interface

Is there a quick way to find all the commented-out code across Java files in Eclipse? Any option in Search, perhaps, or any add-on that can do this? It should be able to find only code which is commented out, but not ordinary comments. Sonar can do it: http://www.sonarsource.org/commented-out-code-eradication-with-sonar/ Scott Merritt In Eclipse, I just do a file search with the regular expression checkbox turned on: (/\*.*;.*\*/)|(//.*;) It will find semicolons in // These; and /* these; */ Works for me. You can mark your own commented code with a task tag. You can create your own task tags

I'm doing i18n for a php project using gettext. I'd like to use the automatic comment feature to give hints to translators when translating long phrases replaced by id. What I want to obtain is the following po file #: full-path-to-file/index.phtml:3 #. a very long text which should replaced by _('foobar') msgid "foobar" msgstr "" In this way the translator can see what he should translate when he see the key foobar using POEdit or some analogue tool in the programmer comment box. I've tried with this code but it doesn't work <?php /// TRANSLATORS: a very long text which should replaced by _(

I have a large codebase that was forked from the original project and I'm trying to track down all the differences from the original. A lot of the file edits consist of commented out debugging code and other miscellaneous comments. The GUI diff/merge tool called Meld under Ubuntu can ignore comments, but only single line comments. Is there any other convenient way of finding only the non-comment diffs, either using a GUI tool or linux command line tools? In case it makes a difference, the code is a mixture of PHP and Javascript, so I'm primarily interested in ignoring // , /* */ and # . To use
