Some types of comments not visible in Franca model #111

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Comments using "//" or "/*" are not available within the Franca model and can 
not be processed by transformations or code generation.
Examples which don´t work:
   // my comment
   /* another comment */

Those comments either should be available in the model or disallowed, as users 
writing valid Franca files containing such comments expect them to be retained 
by Franca tools.

Users should be aware that information put in "informal" comments will not be 
processed. As most languages (incl. C, Java, XML, HTML, ...) provide this kind 
of "informal" comment, I tend to keep it in Franca.

This issue will _not_ be implemented, see comment #1. These comments are quite 
useful as informal "post-its"; if meta information should be added which is 
available for downstream tools, structured comments (with tags) should be used.
