#### When to Comment
|
||||
|
||||
Write comments that remain valuable after the PR is merged. Future readers won't have PR context - they only see the current code.
|
||||
|
||||
##### ✅ DO: Add Value
|
||||
|
||||
**Explain WHY and non-obvious behavior:**
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Process must handle allocations atomically to prevent race conditions
|
||||
// between dealloc on drop and concurrent limit checks
|
||||
unsafe impl GlobalAlloc for LimitedAllocator { ... }
|
||||
|
||||
// Binary search requires sorted input. Panics on unsorted slices.
|
||||
fn find_index(items: &[Item], target: &Item) -> Option
|
||||
|
||||
// Timeout set to 5s to match EVM block processing limits
|
||||
const TRACER_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(5);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Document constraints and assumptions:**
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
/// Returns heap size estimate.
|
||||
///
|
||||
/// Note: May undercount shared references (Rc/Arc). For precise
|
||||
/// accounting, combine with an allocator-based approach.
|
||||
fn deep_size_of(&self) -> usize
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Explain complex logic:**
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// We reset limits at task start because tokio reuses threads in
|
||||
// spawn_blocking pool. Without reset, second task inherits first
|
||||
// task's allocation count and immediately hits limit.
|
||||
THREAD_ALLOCATED.with(|allocated| allocated.set(0));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### ❌ DON'T: Describe Changes
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// ❌ BAD - Describes the change, not the code
|
||||
// Changed from Vec to HashMap for O(1) lookups
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ GOOD - Explains the decision
|
||||
// HashMap provides O(1) symbol lookups during trace replay
|
||||
```
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// ❌ BAD - PR-specific context
|
||||
// Fix for issue #234 where memory wasn't freed
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ GOOD - Documents the actual behavior
|
||||
// Explicitly drop allocations before limit check to ensure
|
||||
// accurate accounting
|
||||
```
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// ❌ BAD - States the obvious
|
||||
// Increment counter
|
||||
counter += 1;
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ GOOD - Explains non-obvious purpose
|
||||
// Track allocations across all threads for global limit enforcement
|
||||
GLOBAL_COUNTER.fetch_add(1, Ordering::SeqCst);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Comment when:**
|
||||
- Non-obvious behavior or edge cases
|
||||
- Performance trade-offs
|
||||
- Safety requirements (unsafe blocks must always be documented)
|
||||
- Limitations or gotchas
|
||||
- Why simpler alternatives don't work
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Don't comment when:**
|
||||
- Code is self-explanatory
|
||||
- Just restating the code in English
|
||||
- Describing what changed in this PR
|
||||
|
||||
##### The Test: "Will this make sense in 6 months?"
|
||||
|
||||
Before adding a comment, ask: Would someone reading just the current code (no PR, no history) find this helpful?
