Mark,

What's a "C++ comment"?  If you mean //...\n comments, those are legal
in ANSI-99 C (and the syntax goes back to BCPL).  If the coding
standard specifies multiline-style comments only, fine, but please
don't use misleading terminology.

In my own defence, I was using terminology from pdd07, namely:

      Code Structure

      The following must apply:

      ยท   C code must use C-style comments only, i.e. "/* comment */".  (Not
          all C compilers handle C++-style comments.)

And the files I patched failed the t/codingstd/cppcomments.t test when
pmc files are added to the test.  Apologies for causing confusion.

Regards,

Paul
