I'm using Visual C++ on Windows Vista.
Being "only human", I sometimes use
***************************************/   to underline a section of
code
instead of the correct  /************************************/    I'm
surprised by the fact that my mistake generates a warning rather than
an error.
How does the compiler understand
*************************/           ?

Thanks

Sorry, I was much too hasty.  It generates an error as well as a
warning.
Should have looked it over more carefully.
