Rather than commenting out a section of code and the potential gotchas
with nested comments, the recommended procedure is to bracket the
section of code with #if 0 and #endif.  Doing this, your comments
and everything else is left unchanged just ignored by the compiler.

E.G.

#if 0
   some c code /* comment */

  /*******************
   *
   * another comment
   *
   *******************/

  more C code

#endif
