I created a buffer foo.c and entered the following:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
/* A comment for testing. */
printf("hello, world\n");
}
Then I went to the beginning of the buffer, entered C-M-s, the regexp
you cited, and it found the comment just nicely.
(Note that your regexp will find too much: if there are two comments,
then it will find everything from the start of the first to the end
of the second comment.)
