ST, don't use /** **/ for one line comments

Because IDE does not like nested comments. I am commenting several lines of example code but some idiot has put every other line an one line a /* */ comment.

Fix that software please.

Not like this:

 /* Insert a delay of display */
 HAL_Delay(2);
 }
 /* Clear the Background Layer */
 BSP_LCD_Clear(LCD_COLOR_BLACK);�?�?�?�?�?�?

Maybe call this a MISRA consequence more than ST's for compatibility with all users out there

(for industrial or automotive, sometime the tools are kept the same for 10 years without upgrades)

My workaround for this is 

#if 0

junked source code

#endif

/ * Used for compatibility with dinosaurs from 1998 * /

Modern IDs often get malfunctioned in the code syntax highlighting module - due to stack overflow. There is a technical limit of 65k lines - below which the plug-in begins to suffer from amnesia. When the amnesia boundary falls / * neatly between several lines of comments * / - the synchronization is violated and the user sees a frank porridge. For example, the incorrect operation of conditional operators #if.

Everything was fine while the projects were thin.

Using // for comment, and /// for an important comment - solves the problem of amnesia.

Interesting

I wonder why Keil Ide is so upset of this when this problem has been there for years.

I have to try this

♯ if 0

junked source code

♯ endif

Using // for comment, and /// for an important comment - solves the problem of amnesia.

Yes but when the one with dementia is ST, what can you do.
