Not to pick on Tom, but this discussion is a real waste of time.
(a) // comments are not supported in Standard C, having been proposed
to X3J11 and rejected after committee discussion. Therefore this
is the wrong newsgroup to be discussing them in. Isn't there some
sort of "future C proposals" group? Or, use the C++ newsgroup.
(b) All questions about how to parse // comments would presumably be
resolved by defining their role in the "phases of translation".
Without such a definition, such questions have no unambiguous
answers. With such a definition, there is nothing to discuss.
