pk11obj.c:1143:4: warning: "/*" within comment
pk11obj.c:1152:17: warning: "/*" within comment
pk11obj.c:1162:7: warning: "/*" within comment

could this please be addressed? i know it's sample code, but perhaps

#undef SAMPLE_CODE
#ifdef SAMPLE_CODE
...
#endif

would be better, then the code would be recognized by syntax highlighters, the /* embedded in the code */ would be treated as a comment and the compiler would not complain about it.

Timeless, is this a coverity bug?

Comment 2

i didn't tag it as such, i have to presume it isn't. the syntax of the output here implies i was using gcc i believe.

Attachment: replace outer comments w/ #if 0 block and make sure {}s match

this bug is something i see whenever i build on boffo, because the build process hangs (for a relatively long time) while signing the nss library. as a result, i'm likely to see this annoying warning and want to file a bug about it. or today, post a patch :).

r=nelson for the trunk (only), provided the patch still applies cleanly.

[e-mail]: i don't have commit privs (which is fairly annoying on its own given that i do touch the whole tree and play nicely by rules), would you please commit?
