comment out         
<programming> To surround a section of code with comment delimiters or to prefix every line in the section with a comment marker. This prevents it from being compiled or interpreted. It is often done to temporarily disable the code, e.g. during debugging or when the code is redundant or obsolete, but is being left in the source to make the intent of the active code clearer. The word "comment" is sometimes replaced with whatever syntax is used to mark comments in the language in question, e.g. "hash out" (shell script, Perl), "REM out" (BASIC), etc. Compare condition out. [Jargon File] (1998-04-28)
FIXME         
<programming> A standard tag often put in comments near a piece of code that needs work. The point of doing so is that a grep or a similar pattern-matching tool can find all such places quickly. This is common in GNU code. Compare XXX. [Jargon File] (2001-03-16)

Comment (computer programming)

In computer programming, a comment is a programmer-readable explanation or annotation in the source code of a computer program. They are added with the purpose of making the source code easier for humans to understand, and are generally ignored by compilers and interpreters. The syntax of comments in various programming languages varies considerably.

Comments are sometimes also processed in various ways to generate documentation external to the source code itself by documentation generators, or used for integration with source code management systems and other kinds of external programming tools.

The flexibility provided by comments allows for a wide degree of variability, but formal conventions for their use are commonly part of programming style guides.

Examples of use of comment out
1. Barack Obama‘s advisers of taking the comment out of context and exploiting it.
2. For now, many of Silda Spitzer‘s friends have closed ranks, declining to comment out of respect for the couple‘s privacy.
3. Bennett, now 63 and a scientist with IBM, declined to comment out of deference to the Mitchell family and his desire to leave that tragic day in the past.
4. Speaking to reporters following Friday‘s meeting, Kozak said Dudiyeva concluded the meeting by telling Putin, "We are with you, Vladimir Vladimirovich." Members of the Beslan delegation later said Kozak had taken Dudiyeva‘s comment out of context.
