That's DJGPP.

RHIDE is an integrated development environment. gcc is the compiler. RHIDE
calls gcc to compile your code. RHIDE is not a compiler.

As is the correct behavior. Comments in C do *NOT* nest. Your first "*/"
ends the comment (a new one was NOT started by the second "/*"; it was just
part of your comment) and "comment */" stays in the code.

Don't write nested comments. If you are trying to comment out a block of code
that contains comments, use "#if 0" at the beginning of the block and "#endif"
at the end.
