C++ comment style: /*M ... M*/, what 'M' stands for? -


i have seen 3rd party source code comments in /*m ... m*/ style. 'm' stands for? (perhaps used kind of version control, or code documentation system (like doxygen)?)

i saw in many (if not all) source code files in opencv.

you may browse itseez's opencv repository under github clicking here.

oh. forget mention, comment style seems exist in head of file, , seems declare license.

example:

/*m/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // //  important: read before downloading, copying, installing or using. // //  downloading, copying, installing or using software agree license. //  if not agree license, not download, install, //  copy or use software. // // //                           license agreement //                open source computer vision library  [...] // //m*/ 

note: doesn't correlate version control , c++

this problem of cross-os eol-problem (win|*nix) , visualization of not-native eol ^m (really such string) in crlf in pure-cr world , linux|mac guis

example opengl.hpp (from sample repo): first lines

/*m/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 

are, proper rendering

/* /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 

and glithes results of ugly configured core.crlf in author's git (or ignoring @ all)
