This command is evaluated during execution, and as such is infinitely slower than other SQF comment methods (// comment or /* comment */) which do not exist at runtime). See SQF Syntax for additional documentation on comments.

ⓘ
In order to place comments inside trigger activation fields and similar, use a plain string followed by a semicolon as a way to comment; e.g "Some comment";.
Groups:: Strings

Example 1:: comment "This is a commented line"; // bad "This is a commented line"; // good // This is a commented line // perfect

comment " first line seconde line";
