           Summary: No mismatched nested comments
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com

D2 program:


/+
/*
*/+/
void main() {}


DMD 2.052 prints (with no line number):
Error: Source:Mismatched nested comments in test.d


Tagged as 'major' because Don (almost) asked me to do this in a comment to bug

Cannot reproduce the error message. Please show your dmd options. I've got

x.d(6): unterminated /+ +/ comment

in 2.052, 2.042 (ideone), 1.026 (codepad) and git master with 'dmd x'. Reducing
severity back to 'normal'.

Thank you, you are right, I've seen that the error message I see is generated
by the build system I use and not by DMD. DMD shows the line number.

But isn't it a DMD problem still? Maybe we have discussed this same problem in
past, but the comments are not mismatched here.

No they are mismatched.

Inside a /+ ... +/, the /* ... */ is not special. Therefore, the tokenizer,
using greedy match, recognizes the input as:

<start-of-nestable-comment> /+
<comment-text>              /*
                            *
<start-of-nestable-comment> /+
<comment-text>              /
                            void main() {}

Therefore you have two +/ unmatched.

Kenny's right.

This is not a dmd bug.

 Kenny's right.
 
 This is not a dmd bug.


So why couldn't you explain this in the first place?

Or did you somehow misread "rejects-valid" as "diagnostic"?
