In our coding style document we have examples of good and bad code, which we mark as: // Good // Bad respectively. But in the very same document we advocate for using C style of comments over C++. Follow our own advice and switch annotation to: /* Good */ /* Bad */ And while at it, align these annotations within their blocks for better readability.
