It is accepted in recent versions of C, but not necessarily by all C
compilers, depending on which version of C they support. "//" comments were
added to C in the 1999 revision of the C standard, and was already then a
very common extension that was supported by many compilers.
If gcc supports "//" comments or not depends on which mode it is running in.
If you run it in strict C89 mode, then it will not support "//" comments,
but if you run it in C99 mode (or as a C++ compiler), it will support them.
