Description Patric Rufflar

2011-04-20 05:38:45 EDT

Build Identifier: 3.2.3

There's a bug in the parses which causes jsdt to destabilize, a regular compilation is not possible any more (even when the problematic js file is not opened in an editor).

Please have a look at the minimalistic example below.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new javascript file
2. Paste: /* function */ */ */ */ */ */
3. Save

Additional info:
Even if the problematic source code / file will be removed, JSDT remains in an unstable state which makes further changes impossible.
A restart is necessary.

I do not observe any unstable state in 3.2.4, which contains an updated parser. I just see some syntax errors reported.

Patric, what destabilizing symptoms were you seeing?

Lowering severity and resolving from lack of details.  Patric, please reopen if you have more information or (later) find that problems persist with 3.2.4.  I do find that memory spikes when making further changes, but it's apparently just collectable garbage.
