Well, personally I use // for almost all comments in
C/C++. I
reserve /* */ for commenting out blocks of code. Since, for some
reason, /* */ doesn't nest, if I stick to this style life is good.
#if 0 ... #endif also works, and nests if needed.
I didn't know that // was now accepted to begin a comment in C, but I
strongly suspect that any compiler modern enough to know about that
will know just as well about #if 0.
