Edit / completely delete your own comments and defects
I want to be able toedit or completely delete (with no trace) comments and defects I have added. Strikout is not a good alternative; it wastes everyone's time to look at something that should have been deleted. Theability to edit or cleanly delete previously enteredtext is near-universal in systems that store user-entered text, andthere are many good reasons for this. In addition to those universally applicable reasons, the CCinterface makes it easy toattach a comment or defect to the wrong line,. Further, the basic model of file-at-a-time reviewing with no global search or symbol lookup makes it difficult to review large or multi-file changes. When reviewing such changes, Ioften make comments that become moot when later functions or files are examined. I'mthen reduced to either entering a later "never mind" comment (strikeout is only a slight improvement, because mostauthorsarestill going to waste time reding it)and/oreffectively implementing my own "undo" by keeping all my comments and defects in a separate text file until I'm completely done, then going back in a second pass and actually entering them.4.3KViews9likes1Comment
