How do you flag code so that you can come back later and work on it?

Question

In C# I use the #warning and #error directives,

#warning This is dirty code...
#error Fix this before everything explodes!
<         


        

Answer 1

Add a test in a disabled state. They show up in all the build reports.

If that doesn't work, I file a bug.

In particular, I haven't seen TODO comments ever decrease in quantity in any meaningful way. If I didn't have time to do it when I wrote the comment, I don't know why I'd have time later.
