Chapter 3 The Application Description Language
ADL code is not sensitive to the presence or absence of white space between language elements provided that all keywords and identifiers are distinguished. Thus the programmer has the same degree of freedom that C and C++ allow in formatting code. White space includes these characters: space (' '), newline ('\n'), carriage return ('\r'), form feed ('\f'), and vertical tab ('\v').
Commenting
Comments are indicated as they are in C++. Two contiguous slashes ( // ) indicate the start of a comment that continues to the end of the current line. This form is the usual method for annotating individual, single-line statements. A slash immediately followed by an asterisk ( /* ) indicates a comment that continues until the reverse sequence ( */ ) is encountered. This form is the usual method for inserting multi-line comments.
