Well you are correct according to the latest C spec, but still I don't
find many (none) of the // in any of the GNU C based packages that I have
browsed. Also if you want your C code to be portable between different
compilers, I think  as far as C code is concerned it would be wise to
avoid //.

I personally think that as vs the //, the /* */ leads to much more
aesthatically appealing code.
