How do I write inline documentation for methods and variables in Go code?

Question

is there some rules to document methods and variables in GO language?

for example on php

/**
 This method will increase parameter $b in 10 points
 @var int $b
 @return int

*/
public function someMethod($b){
    return $b+10;
}

is there something like that on GO, or there I must use only "// comment" above method without any @var or @return ?

Answer 1

You should use standard // comments because this is what the official documentation tool called godoc will use to generate documentation for your go code. You can have a look at this post from the official golang blog about it: http://blog.golang.org/godoc-documenting-go-code
