What's the quickest way to tell c++-mode to insert c-style comments?

That doesn't work; it puts C++-style comments in.

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook
          (lambda () (setq comment-start "/* ") (setq comment-end " */")))

Or with a CC Mode style ...

No, that doesn't help.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed.  Your help is very much
appreciated.

I don't understand, what do you mean?

Does my line

  (c-set-style "K&R")	     ; offset customizations not in my-c-style

accomplish the same thing?

Probably, but I use too many major modes to be bothered to learn each and
every one's new idiosyncratic way to configure it.  Especially since Emacs
provides perfectly good generic ways to do that.

Can we use both style of comments, somehow.

I mean, instead of replacing c++ mode comments completely, can we assign
keyboard shortcut for inserting c mode style comments? Or may be some other
better method to use both styles.

Of course.  You can always insert the other style by hand, for example.

Sure.  Coding it is trivial.  The difficult aspect is to find a convenient
user interface for it.  The difficulty is that it should be more convenient
than doing the edit by hand, which is often pretty simple to do.

Maybe a good feature would be a toggling function that changes the style of
the comment-around-point.  That would be a bit less trivial to code.
