Works for me as GCC has many /* */ comments in it and GCC is able to compile
itself.

>Please don't ask me to post example code.

We cannot now if the problem is with your code or the compiler otherwise.

>Platfarm: Linux Fedora 15 x64, latest (yum update) gcc release.
Report it to Fedora since that is where you got the GCC release from.

Hi Andrew,
It' s not related to my code.
Everything works fine when /* */ comments are replaced with // comments.
I am a 55-year old Assembly Language/Apl/C/C++ programmer and I know
what I am talking about.
Again, take a look at your own code.
Thank you.

Ok, let me ask how does it fail?
Right now I know there are lots of /* */ comments in both GCC and the testsuite
so it would have shown up more than just this bug report.

Why not? You're making an absurd claim that can't be confirmed by hundreds and
hundreds of other people.  Do you think you're the only person using comments?

> Check yours, rather.

Done, this report is bogus.
