Version: 3.2.0 (using KDE 3.4.0, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 Hi, with older versions of kdevelop i could mark some text lines and then choose tools->comment and the marked text would then be commented. i used this to quickly comment out stuff, that i wanted to disable. now this dows not work any more. for example when i have these few lines in a cpp file: /** * @return the configured server login; */ and mark them, and then choose tools->comment (or the corresponding shortcut) nothing happens. is my local config messed up, or is this intended behaviour or is this a bug ? i am missing this feature ;-) regards, Holger
That feature is a function of the embedded editor (in this case, Katepart). Try it in Kate/KWrite - Do you see the same behaviour?
yes, kate shows the same behaviour, so this bug should be assigned to kate, right ? Holger On Thursday 24 March 2005 13:10, Jens Dagerbo wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
In c++, the text /** * bla */ *is* a comment, so kate silently ignores the request to make it one. Why on earth is that a bug??
well, when you want to comment a block of code, which contains some "normal" c or c++ comments, like if ( i < 0 ) { // return here return; /* some other comment */ } you can simply mark the whole block and comment it out by pressing ctrl-d. we use this quite often when editing cpp files in kate/kdevelop. it is quite confusing, that this does not work, when doxygen comments are included in the code that you want to comment out. i think this is a bug or at least a missing functionality.
It does not work if you try to comment a doxygen comment and nothing else. Whereas you can comment a multiline cpp comment and nothing else. I agree that that is silly and should be fixed. Dominik: anotherusage for isCommentAttrib() ;)
