The '//' comments are part of C99, ANSI C++, and Java. Neither C89
nor K&R included '//' comments in the specification. gcc will allow
'//' comments in "old" C code[1] but some compilers (eg Sun's
compiler) won't.
HTH,
-D
[1] By "old" code I mean code that wasn't written to the C99 spec, and
versions of gcc prior to 3.x (eg 2.95) when support for the C99
spec was added.
