My diff(1) manpage seems to have absolutely no comments for comments... $ man 1 diff | col -b | fgrep comment $ Moreover, here's a demo that shows comments pose no problem for diff output. No problem at all: $ cat > foo /* * A comment. */ $ cat > foo2 /* * A comment. * Yet another comment. */ $ diff -u foo foo2 --- foo Sun Jun 9 06:01:29 2002 +++ foo2 Sun Jun 9 06:01:47 2002 @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ /* * A comment. + * Yet another comment. */ Please do not state things that make well known programs, like diff, look like they have some bug or misfeature, without providing details. Especially on a list that's supposed to be a -security list. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
