Comments in wio-terminal code #328
-
|
Do comments written in the source code (.cpp, .h, .ini) get uploaded to the Wio Terminal, or are they stripped out by the compiler before the upload? I know that microcontrollers like the Wio Terminal have much less memory than General Purpose Controllers like the Raspberry Pi, so I need to know if I need to limit the amount of comments in the microcontroller code, or if it doesn't really matter. Thank you. |

They should be stripped out - the code is compiled, so things like comments that are not executable code won't make it into the final executable. If you wanted to do a test, you could compile up a small binary, one with no comments, and one with a lot of comments, and you should see identical binary sizes. |
