Remove commented out code in wp-includes

[viralsampat]

Hello

I have reviewed core files and found that a few files still contain comments code that is not in use.

But as per the coding standard needs to be removed it from the files.

Files:

wp-includes/class-wp-query.php
wp-includes/rss.php
wp-includes/functions.wp-styles.php src/wp-includes/functions.wp-styles.php
wp-includes/sodium_compat/src/Compat.php

Applied a patch

Can you elaborate on the changes to src/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php and src/wp-includes/functions.wp-styles.php in your patch? Those a legit comments, not commented out code.

Yes, the class-wp-query.php and functions.wp-styles.php comments are legitimate and need to stay.

• Since [4956], WP query has had a pair of comments to indicate where the is_* correction begins and ends.
• [4105] added the short note about fixing the call from wp_head (ticket:2701#comment:19).
• The rss.php file is the deprecated MagpieRSS external library, and #57107 might remove the library's code. If not, #59548 already suggested similar edits.
• To suggest any revisions to the sodium_compat external library, you could visit ​https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat
