Unidentifed tags in source code of KMDF samples?

NTDEV

Hi @ll,

please excuse if this is a stupid question… but I haven’t found anything in the docs.

Most (if not all) KMDF samples I looked at have these tags(?) around

their comments:

/*++
#Some very important comment#
--*/

Does this have a special meaning or is this “just their way” to write comments?

Thanks!

Asked Gemini and it tells me it dates back to the Windows NT days and a utility called ScanDoc (or Autodoc) that Microsoft used to generate automated documentation. I’ve never given it any thought. When you create a new KMDF project it puts the same style header on the generated files.

Thanks! I just wanted to ensure that I’m not killing some tags that might be important for some

special tools later in the development cycle.

But knowing this I can head over to my usual commenting style! :grinning_face:
