There is a problem in fixincludes because of the sed-line (282)
          /\/\/[^*]/                    s|//\(.*\)$|/*\1*/|
This may create nested comments:
/* a // b */
is translated to
/* a /* b */*/

For one-line constructs this is avoidable, but
/* a
  b // c
   d */
is quite complicated to be catched, I assume.

The question is, is this considered to be a feature or a bug?

Andreas Schott.
