Tdesktop: Source Code Comments

[drguildo]

I just had a quick skim through the source code and was quite surprised to notice that there are almost no comments. Seeing as this is an open source project, and I assume you would like people to contribute, I think it'd be a good idea to do a better job of commenting the code.

Well, most comments look like notes for developer so he can easily understand why he did this and not that %)
So could we call existing comments "comments"?

Hey there!

We're automatically closing this issue since there was no activity in this issue since 377 days ago. We therefore assume that the user has lost interest or resolved the problem on their own. Closed issues that remain inactive for a long period may get automatically locked.

Don't worry though; if this is in error, let us know with a comment and we'll be happy to reopen the issue.

Thanks!

It's not solved. Not even close.

Good code doesn't need too many comments.

@Double-A-92 Any complex app needs comments so you can understand what's going on without jumping through 30-40 files first

If it is hard to write it must be harder to read.

This is a project with 381k lines of code. Comments are definitely necessary. I'll look into starting this myself, but no promises. I don't know anything about the code base currently.

This definitely is still an issue
