Did you use M-j at the end of a comment line? The command should add a
newline, indent and then add a comment character. That's what it does in
my Emacs. Command's description:

    M-j runs the command c-indent-new-comment-line, which is an
    interactive compiled Lisp function in `cc-cmds.el'.

    It is bound to M-j, C-M-j.

    (c-indent-new-comment-line &optional SOFT ALLOW-AUTO-FILL)

    Break line at point and indent, continuing comment or macro if
    within one. If inside a comment and `comment-multi-line' is non-nil,
    the indentation and line prefix are preserved (see the
    `c-comment-prefix-regexp' and `c-block-comment-prefix' variables for
    details). If inside a single line comment and `comment-multi-line'
    is nil, a new comment of the same type is started on the next line
    and indented as appropriate for comments. If inside a macro, a line
    continuation backslash is inserted and aligned as appropriate, and
    the new line is indented according to `c-syntactic-indentation'.

    If a fill prefix is specified, it overrides all the above.
