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, a -std option specifying a version of ISO C before C99, or -traditional, since they are incompatible with traditional constructs like dividend//*comment*/divisor.
