This is a way to comment out unused code: Everything between "#if 0"
and "#endif" is stripped by the preprocessor, and is ignored by the
compiler.

For more information about the C/C++ preprocessor, please refer to the
GNU CPP manual.  On most systems, you can browse it with "info cpp".
The answer to your particular question is in "info cpp conditional deletion".
