Re:The //* /*/ //*/ comment toggle trick by alexanderbrevig on Monday April 29, 2013 @10:48AM (#5626456)
I understand the criticism, it's not supposed to be _the_ way to toggle code in and out.

It's a TRICK, and that's all it will ever be.

However, it is the only way I know of that is not language specific for a particular dialect of C (#ifdef) that enables code to _not_ become a part of the compiled binary, or in JS terms - not available from the runtime.

Best regards -OP
