Package: nano
Version: 8.4-1
Severity: minor

Some code (mame for example) is using this style of comments
where using //***** as separators ; nano is parsing //* as multi-line comment instead of one-line-comment, sow code highlighting is broken.

This is a simple c file for example

//***********************
// A nice extended comment
//***********************

int b = 20;

/* comment */

int main(){
b += 40; //* new comment
return b;
}

<EOF>
