Question about codes comments
Hi all,
When i read the kernel codes, i always find the code comments with /* XXX ..... */. The 'XXX' turns to be colourful. It is with croci. I don't know the meaning of 'XXX'? Can anyone tell me?
Thanks in advance

It is just a marker that there's still some work to do, like FIXME, TODO, and HERE. Normally you set this marker to be able to find all those places easily by a simple search. The marker should at least be accompanied by an explanatory text.

Hmmm.., i see. In this way, we can help to finish the jobs which have not been accomplished.
