I think it is interesting to check whether you have all your comments right.
Maybe you have somewhere a construct /* not closed remarks AND code /*
remarks */ code.
because some code is commented out, compiler errors are generated somewhere
after the closing */. These errors can change depending on what follows the
closing */. If the commented out code contains }, the compiler will protest
that it sees the end of your file before it saw the required closing }.
