Hi!
Hey Robin!
btw. I see many examples in the ChucK code where comments are used to denote author and subject of a change. Why are you doing that? If every developer writes proper commit messages you may just as well use "svn blame" (or later "git blame") and "svn log".
Is that considered bad form? I tend to do that too. My C++ isn't (yet...) so strong so I think it polite to note that I did something and what my reasoning was. That way others could estimate the chance that changing something bad I might have done has the kind of repercussions that changing the code of more experienced C++ authors might have. Is there a way to check the "blame" for a specific section of a larger file from the Big Serious Editors? I imagine there must be, in which case just noting the reasoning should do. BTW, let me take this moment to chime in and complimenting you on your spree of fixes and updates. Absolutely wonderful to see such enthusiasm. Yours, Kas.
