Ok... This absolutely has no relevance to anything but I figured I'd share and see if anyone knew what the hell is causing this.

/* Wtf Error line?  */ //

If you try compiling this, it gives 'duplicate definition' errors on everything beneath that line. Even if it is in a blank project.

If you remove the // at the end of that line, the errors go away.

WHAT THE HELL? o.O

Looks like its being caused specifically by the use of both types on comments on the same line. Beyond that I cannot say. Although, how in the world did you even come across this?

Well to part 1: I tried doing this with other double comment lines... nothing.

How in the world did I come across this? ... Overly commenting code... Then getting a random ass error popup, and pressing CTRL Z until the error went away. Then copying and pasting that entire page and removing stuff until finally all that was left were things that were 'necessary' to create the code. ^.^

This is a known issue. Basically what you end up doing is commenting out the ending of the multi-line comment which causes the compiler to have a hissy fit.
