I was attempting to write a function that would look for the beginning and ending of comments in C files. I planned on using (skip-syntax-forward "^<") and (skip-syntax-forward "^>") or something similar. However, the C syntax table of C-h s only defines the C++ endcomment as `>'. C-style comments are defined as `.' (punctuation). I did not understand why the CC-mode would not bother to define the comment-start and comment-end syntaxes; the Lisp Mode Syntax has done so. Is comment syntax deprecated; and if so, what is the currently preferred non-mode-specific method?
Thank you.
