Summary: C++ comments used in C code

Initial Comment:
While compiling nagios-plugins-1.4.4 on AIX using the
IBM compiler I'm stumbling over two cases where
C++-style comments '//' in stead of proper C comments
are used '/*  */'. The compiler flags these as Syntax
error as this comment style is not allowed in ANSI C.

Replacing the // with /* */ fixes the problem and all
compiles fine.

Here the 
"check_disk.c", line 639.3: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error.
639:   // return;
"check_http.c", line 277.7: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error.
277:   // asprintf (&http_opt_headers, "%s", optarg);

I've had a short look at the gcc option (I suppose you talk
about gcc). There is -pedantic and -Wcomment options which
warn for such things.

Thanks Markus

Markus,

Thanks. Fixed in CVS now.

Does anyone know how to get cpp to flag that we have used // instead of /* ?

Ton
