Nested Comments in C -- A recent experience

[Arthur David Olson]

> ANSI C (draft of Oct 88) says...that comments do not nest.
> Detection of /* within a comment is mentioned as a "common warning"...

The "comments do not nest" statement is in a footnote;
the /* "common warning" statement is in an appendix;
neither is part of the ANSI standard.
