Yes.

Because /* */ comments cannot be nested by definition then for such
multiline commenting I prefer to use:

  #if 0
     ...
  #endif

and I do not have to worry about internal #if 0 / #endif what seems
to be better and more flexible solution (at least for me) then mixed
ANSI and C++ comments.
