  • box = B = boxen

    boxed comments n.

    Comments (explanatory notes attached to program instructions) that occupy several lines by themselves; so called because in assembler and C code they are often surrounded by a box in a style something like this:

    /*************************************************
     *
     * This is a boxed comment in C style
     *
     *************************************************/
    

    Common variants of this style omit the asterisks in column 2 or add a matching row of asterisks closing the right side of the box. The sparest variant omits all but the comment delimiters themselves; the `box' is implied. Oppose winged comments.

    box = B = boxen
