Given the amounts of C++ comments in the code, is there actually a platform we care about that can't handle them?
MSVC supports // comments since 7.1 (VS 2013). We have such comments in the code going back at least a decade (I just picked a few and did git blame).
They are not C++ comments, they are C99 comments. Didn't we decide at some point to switch to C99?
