flac dev - Dec 2016 - C++ - style comment

I received a message from C.R.Helmrich (he doesn't want to subscribe
just to post a single message).


The following message was posted by C.R.Helmrich

Hi,

I tested my own Win32 compile of pre1 and pre2 one or two weeks ago  
(flac.exe
through foobar2000 for transcoding), and the results were as expected: no  
errors,
roughly same speed on my Intel Core i...something mobile, very slightly  
improved
compression performance in comparison with 1.3.1). I didn't test all  
-1..-8 modes,
but I diffed the source code of libFLAC between 1.3.1 and 1.3.2, and it  
seems there
were no relevant changes to the internal compression routine aside from  
the LPC
calculation, so I don't think this was/is necessary. Other than that:

In libFLAC/src/stream_encoder.c, the following C++ style comment was added  
recently:

//	FLAC__ASSERT(samples <= blocksize);

Since all other comments in this file (and, possibly, the entire lib) are  
C-style /* */,
I suggest to remove this line again.

Best,

Chris

P.S. The line was added in the commit  
<http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commitdiff;h=c06a44969c1145242a22f75fc8fb2e8b54c55303>



P.P.S. actually there are more cpp-style comments in libFLAC.
Many of them are inside SSE intrinsic functions... (sigh)
but some are much older, for example:
<http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commitdiff;h=f299910ddb90a33b2866d0ae27e687de8bbc154e>

It seems that the oldest cpp-style comment in libFLAC is the following
line from src/libFLAC/include/protected/stream_encoder.h:

#endif // #ifndef FLAC__INTEGER_ONLY_LIBRARY

  --it exists since FLAC 1.1.3 (see commit  
<http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commitdiff;h=bf0f52c21e439aefdbcf71551621023b0bc9cef0#patch16>)

Sorry, I accidentally sent my message too early, with incorrect
beginning. But I hope that you understood what I wanted to write:
I re-posted a message from C.R.Helmrich that was send to flac-dev and
lost because he is not subscribed to this mailing list.
