Jens Geyer edited comment on THRIFT-4156 at 4/4/17 7:19 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------ Not bad. The single most tricky thing we need to cover as well that comes to my mind are multiline doctext-comments vs normal multiline comments. Have a look at THRIFT-3709, there are some good test cases. Depends on the parser if we can handle this using syntax alone, or if additional treatment is needed. was (Author: jensg): Not bad.
