I think he meant that he thought that /*-*/ should be used only in C. That's
not the case. It can be used in C++ source also.

Actually, there is:

#if 0 // That's a zero

  foo();
  etc();

#endif

This has the advantage of not having the disadvantage had by nested /* */
comments:

/* /* blah */ and */
           ^
           Comment ends here (unless your compiler supports nested
           comments, which is not an ANSI/ISO requirement.
