6.12.14 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 included in the 1999 C standard. However, C++ style comments are not recognized if you specify an -stdoption specifying a version of ISO C before C99, or -ansi(equivalent to -std=c90).
