Tip: #1361 - Disable automatic comment insertion

Auto-comment is a good idea for vim, but some times you may like to disable it. I get trouble in this for a few days, and finally I found how to disable this function. For c/cpp file, just locate to the $VIMRUNTIME\ftplugin\c.vim
Find the line
setlocal comments=sO:*\ -,mO:*\ \ ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://
change it into
setlocal comments=sO:*\ -,mO:*\ \ ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,f://
then the // comment will not auto repeat in the next line. the key for this is the "f" flag.

There is no need to edit the ftplugin file itself, just define an auto command which gets executed whenever a c/c++ file is opened.
Put the following line in your .vimrc:
au FileType c,cpp setlocal comments=sO:*\ -,mO:*\ \ ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,f://

Or use
setlocal comments-=:// setlocal comments+-f://

TODO: fix the tip because editing a standard ftplugin is a very bad idea.
The solution consists in either providing a custom autocommand, or even better in overriding this setting in end-user defined c-ftplugin.
