Commenting code

[developer155]

I am having a problem commenting a large chunk of code using /**. When I put the closing **/ at the end of the chunk, the code is not commented. I am guessing that this is because inside the code there are /**...**/ as well, but I do not want to change any code in that chunk, do not want to delete any comments. What shoudl I do

thanks!!!

Are you doing this by hand?
You may break the nested comments by replacing the */ with
* /
Or you put every embedded comment in // line-comments.

If the code doesn't contain any * / until now, the first solution might be undone with not too much work.
*TEMP_DISABLED/ might help if some comment-ends are disabled right now.

But generaly spoken, nested comments aren't supported.

Enclose the code that you wish to comment, as follows:

if (false) {
Block of code to 'comment'
}
