Hi,

is anybody aware of a tool, that supports C/C++ programmers by
(re-)formatting
their comments in a nice manner - like doing a word-wrap and surrounding
the comment with user-definable characters.

Indent and other code beautifiers leave comments untouched and are not of
help for this problem.

C-Vision, by Gimpel Software, includes a program called C-Comment that
does format comments. You have some control over how it re-formats
comments. However, even the manual warns:

"A key caveat: Reformatting comments is a tricky business, and no
general scheme is completely foolproof. While C-COMMENT is pretty good
at reformatting comments, you will probably find that it sometines
guesses incorrectly."

I found that it did help on code I used it on, but there was still a
fair bit of manual editing necessary even oafter processing the source
through C-Comment.

I do not work for Gimpel Software.

Hmm..., here is a suggestion...  If you know how to program in C try
making one yourself, that would probably be a cool project to try...

It's 2:00 am, do you know where your slackware linux is?

I know this is a C newsgroup, but if I had to write such a tool, I would
use Perl.

If you work in the Unix environment, 'par' will help you.

Go to the homepage http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~amc/Par/

Par and  vim(vi) combination works  in a nice  manner. And I  don't know
about emacs, but I think emacs can do in the same manner. ;-)
