This excludes the use of // C99 style comments and C++ style comments, since these are not permitted in C90. Many compilers support
the // style of comments as an extension to C90. The use of // in preprocessor directives (e.g. #define) can
vary. Also the mixing of /* ... */ and // is not consistent. This is more than a style issue, since different (pre C99)
compilers may behave differently.
Noncompliant code example
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
// Do nothing - Noncompliant
return 0;
}
Compliant solution
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
/* Do nothing - Compliant */
return 0;
}
