In the October or November issue of Unix World the Wizard's Grabbag column
contained three programs for removing comments from C and C++ code. I
believe that one of them was in C.

Once you have the comments removed, you can use the wc program that is
listed in "Software Tools in Pascal" by Kernighan and (memory fails me).
Translating to C shouldn't be all that difficult.
