Rule 3.1 - Hyperlinks in comments?

[misra-c]

C90 and C99 strictly conforming compilers have well-defined behaviour for // within a /* comment. However many compilers are non strictly conforming and a variety of behaviour has been observed.

We suggest two methods for including hyperlinks within a comment.

1. In C99, the use of // within a // comment is permitted in the Exception to this rule.
   
   Code:

   // See  https://somewhere.over.the.rainbow/way/up/high.htm
   
   
2. Create a deviation/permit which permits the inclusion of // within a /* comment after checks have performed on the compiler that is used to confirm that such inclusion behaves as expected.
