/ ++在c ++中的含义是什么

Question

I was trying to add a block comment in c++, but I made a type-o and wrote /** instead of /* . I noticed that the comment inside got in bold. Does anyone know what it means?

Answer 1

This form of comment is used by Doxygen - This software enables one to generate documentation for the source code. Please see the web site.

I guess your IDE understands this.

Answer 2

To expand on the Doxygen and JavaDoc answers.
These are the special comment blocks, that your editor may be able to detect.

/**
 * ... Javadoc comment ...
 */

---

/*!
 * ... Qt style comment ...
 */

*intermediary starts are optional

---

///
/// ... Doxygen supported ...
///

---

//!
//! ... Doxygen supported ...
//!

Keep in mind, from the C++ language standard, these are all just regular comments.

Answer 3

In Java this comment style /** indicates that the comment is a javadoc , maybe your editor is trying to make a similar distinction. I know that at least the Eclipse IDE will exhibit this behavior.
