This has been brought up on this list before. The conclusion of the previous thread on this topic was that there is a way to do this:<br><br>#if false<br>// put your code here<br>#endif<br><br>It does not allow you to comment out fragments of a single statement, but the incremental value of devoting time to additionally support that is, it would seem, low.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Jan 14, 2017 at 17:18 Amir Michail via swift-evolution <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">The code in a “code comment" must compile (not just be syntactically correct) yet must not have any effect on the resulting executable.<br class="gmail_msg">

For example, commented entries in an array would be checked for compilability but would not be included in the executable.<br class="gmail_msg">

Such “code comments" would allow you to have code/data that is currently unused but is constantly checked to be valid just in case you want to use it in the future.<br class="gmail_msg">
