Post by tigi » 2003-01-03 14:05

maybe you know already:

your code could have a bit more comments.
it's very difficult to understand it.

more comments make your dc++-project also more popular!
plz think about it.

thank you anyway for programming it. i like it :wink:

cheers

as you stated, more comments make it more understandable...

this is not always good, people could make fake more easily...

I think it is well enough made to be able to understand it without many comments, if you have good C++ knowledge that is.

i see your reasons but i don't agree with you...

why make it open-source
if you don't like people can easily read your code?

cheaters are everywhere!
do you think, it's a problem for them if you don't add comments?

hold off cheaters from the code, can't be a reason for leave out the comments... i bet you are too lazy :wink:

but maybe you are right if you said, people with good C++ knowledge can understand it.
but i can't... :?

thanx

not my fault

Post by Iceman[grrrr] » 2003-01-03 17:11

It is not I who didn't put comment in, it's all Arne's fault !! :wink:

I think he prefers to have more time debugging the whole code and adding features than to add comments in there though! :)

I too had problems inderstanding the code when I first opened it, but after some time it clarifies itself ...

plz arne!
i really would appreciate if you would add more comments! :wink:

i admit that i'm not a profi in win-c++, but i still want to learn it... :)
but such code don't make it easy to keep my good motivation :?
i finally will resignate if developer wouldn't add more comments :cry:

again: plz add more comments...
if you do so, maybe i can help you coding sometimes in the future! :wink:

thanx a lot for the good (but uncommented :wink: ) work

Comments?

Post by GargoyleMT » 2003-01-08 11:49

I agree that I've not seen many comments in the code, but that makes me work harder at understanding it. Comments can be wrong and become outdated, whereas the code never is.

I'm sure Arne would consider adding comments if you submitted them to him in the form of diffs. That, not easy readability, is what opensource is all about: patching and improving the program, giving it features that you and others need.
