 * version:   => 2.8


Comment:

 This code originates in r19094 to work around the fact that `get_post()`
 used to pass the first arg by reference ([https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/4399cf76106db6b4d4852fae2e1ceada521b6b64/wp-
 includes/post.php#L371 ref]):


 {{{
 function &get_post(&$post, $output = OBJECT, $filter = 'raw')
 }}}

 The use of `$post->comment_count` originates in r10377
 ([https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/commit/19577d0a8db6e7ac1d90c9eb61419f9ccf67bb10 19577d0]).
