Commenting style


  • Subject: Commenting style

Over the years, we take on particular coding styles, which evolve over the years and adapt to the tools and languages we use. Especially with C-based languages, I feel fairly happy with how my code looks. However, is there a particular style used in Cocoa/ Objective-C for creating comments, especially with function/method headers?

In Java, they are somewhat particular in how the header comments are structured, and C# seems to have its own set of ways that things are created, which can be very useful in generating documentation for classes.

Is there any such rule of thumb in Cocoa?

Current, my headers tend to be formatted like this:

// =================
// Function name
// ----------------------------------
// Description about the function
// ----------------------------------
// Created date:
// Version date:
// =================

And if applicable, put in things like the Author.

- Chad
