C++ Style Comments
==================

   In GNU C, you may use C++ style comments, which start with `//' and
continue until the end of the line.  Many other C implementations allow
such comments, and they are likely to be in a future C standard.
However, C++ style comments are not recognized if you specify `-ansi'
or `-traditional', since they are incompatible with traditional
constructs like `dividend//*comment*/divisor'.
