Hmmmm, the "stdio.h" that I have in /dd/defs/ is the same one that came with
the MW compiler (78 lines long) - and I use it with GCC. I did add a #ifndef
_STDIOH_, #define _STDIOH_ ((original file)) #endif ("don't call it twice") .

There is ANOTHER "stdio.h" in "/dd/defs/CC/, and right at line 326 it has one
of those C++ comment lines starting with "//" instead of "/*". That C++ comment
line right at the place you describe is too much of a coincidence -- gotta be
the problem.

The /dd/defs/CC directory was created by the archive when I got the first
version of GCC and GPP.  I THINK (?) it only gets used by the gpp C++ compiler.
There is an option "-+" in the cccp pre-processor to handle those funny
comments.
