Paul King updated GROOVY-8185:
------------------------------
Labels: (was: contrib)
> Change Groovydoc processing to get comments from AST
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8185
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8185
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: GroovyDoc
> Reporter: Paul King
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> The new Parrot parser (currently on the master branch) supports capturing
> comments within the AST. Groovydoc should be adapted to utilise that
> capability. Currently, in
> {{SimpleGroovyClassDocAssembler#getJavaDocCommentsBeforeNode()}}, a crude
> regexp is used to extract the comment out from the source based on the
> relative position of a known AST node. Instead, with the new parser, we can
> simply extract it from the AST.
