Linguist Doesnt Support Multiline Commenting that is Avalible from CMake Version 3,

Correct because Linguist doesn't support any syntax highlighting… it only collects the grammar for use by GitHub's highlighting engines. 😉

As detailed in the troubleshooting doc, all syntax highlighting issues should be raised with the respective grammar maintainers:

There's a problem with the syntax highlighting of a file

Linguist detects the language of a file but the actual syntax-highlighting is powered by a set of language grammars which are included in this project as a set of submodules as listed here.

If you experience an issue with the syntax-highlighting on GitHub, please report the issue to the upstream grammar repository, not here.
Grammars are updated every time we build the Linguist gem so upstream bug fixes are automatically incorporated as they are fixed.

Please open an issue with the upstream grammar.

Closing as this is not a bug in Linguist.

It appears this issue has already been reported (5 years ago) textmate/cmake.tmbundle#6

As I noted in #6659 (comment) there is a fix available to this upstream, but due lack of activity it may be better (for the time being) to link to my fork.
