C++ - style comments cause compile errors

[tharan]

Checked out proj4 development version 1962 on 2011/02/04. Running make using cc --version

cc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]

on uname -a

Linux snow 2.6.27.54-0.2-default #1 SMP 2010-10-19 18:40:07 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I get errors such as:

pj_init.c: In function ‘pj_init_ctx’:
pj_init.c:326: error: expected expression before ‘/’ token
make[2]: *** [pj_init.lo] Error 1

These are apparently due to C++ - style comments that start with // as opposed to C-style comments consisting of /* */ pairs.

I have detected and fixed this problem in files jiniproj.c, pj_init.c, and pj_malloc.c which I will attach to this ticket once I figure out how to do that.

Patched manually in trunk (r1965).
