One cannot nest C comments, so that is clearly incorrect ;)

The docs clearly say:
"You should be careful not to nest 'C' style comments, which can happen
when commenting out large blocks."

Compiling that works fine with GCC++, Intel C++ and Visual C++. Thus
fix the documentation on the PHP site.

Indeed, it does not compile with C, but it does with a C++ compiler. C
doesn't allow nested /* */ commenting.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Try to compile this:
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    /*
    printf("*/");
    */
    return 1;
}
