Triple Slash Comments in C?

Does C supports an equivalent of the tripl开发者_Go百科e-slash, XML Documentation Comments that Visual Studio uses to provide helpful tooltips for my code in C#, or am U just spoiled by being able to use them in C#?

If it's not supported in C, are there other options?

---

C does not have any equivalent of XML documentation comments or JavaDoc.

Try doxygen.

---

In the C language itself, a triple-slash comment is nothing special (they're just double-slash comments that happen to start with a slash).

However, you can use triple-slash comments with Doxygen.

---

Most modern C compilers will understand double-slash comments like in C++. They are part of the C99 spec.

---

Presumably you're talking about creating comment blocks that are formatted for automated extraction.

Doxygen supports special comment blocks that start with a double-slash C++ comment delimiter, followed by either another slash, or an exclamation mark.

---

C supports /* */ comments. C99 adds support for // comments. Your IDE or compiler may support more, but that is non-standard.
