>Description:
line="code // line comment /* block comment */"
printf '<%s>\n' "${line%%/\**}"

The %% should remove the longest suffix after "/*", since the first
asterisk is escaped. Bash and Ksh do it as expected, NetBSD's /bin/sh
doesn't. It removes everything after the first "/", whether or not that
is followed by a "*".
