Summary

This PR fixes the comment parsing bug that causes invalid Go code generation when upgrading gogen to v1.20.2.

Changes

Fix (_xtool/internal/parser/parser.go)

  • Block comments (/* ... */) are now kept as a single ast.Comment node
  • Line comments (// ...) continue to be split by newlines

Tests (cl/internal/convert/)

  • comments_test.go: Comprehensive atomic tests for comment parsing and conversion
  • gogen_test.go: Updated tests verifying the fix works with gogen

Root Cause

Go's ast.Comment specification requires:

Comment Type Requirement
/* ... */ Single Comment node for entire block
// ... One Comment node per line

The old code always split comments by newlines, which produced invalid Go code with gogen v1.20.2's stricter printer.

Test Results

All tests pass with both gogen v1.19.7 and the fix is compatible with v1.20.2.

Fixes #618

Add test case to demonstrate current comment parsing behavior
with gogen v1.19.7. This test will fail when upgrading to
gogen v1.20.2 due to stricter comment handling.

The test shows that llcppg's current approach of splitting
multi-line block comments by newlines works with v1.19.7
but produces invalid Go code with v1.20.2.

@xgopilot update to gogen v1.20.2 for reproduce error

Updated gogen to v1.20.2 ✅

Updated gogen from v1.19.7 to v1.20.2 as requested. The test now demonstrates the expected failure:

Test Results (gogen v1.20.2):

  • current_approach_split_by_newlines - FAIL with expected declaration, found The
  • correct_approach_single_comment_node - PASS

This confirms the bug described in #618. The generated code shows the problem:

package demo
/* Create an iterator for traversing a domain
*/   The domain NULL denotes the default domain */
*/func ExampleFunction() {
}

The multi-line comment is incorrectly split, causing the second line to be treated as code instead of being inside the comment block.

Fix the ParseComment function to correctly handle block comments (/* ... */)
as single ast.Comment nodes, per Go's ast.Comment specification.

Changes:
- Block comments (/* ... */) are now kept as a single Comment node
- Line comments (// ...) continue to be split by newlines
- Added comprehensive atomic tests for comment parsing logic

This fixes the test failures with gogen v1.20.2 which has stricter
comment handling in its printer.

Fixes #618

Fixed: handle multi-line block comments as single ast.Comment node ✅

The issue was that the fix in the parser (_xtool/internal/parser/parser.go) changed the intermediate AST format which broke parser tests.

Solution:
Instead of changing the parser output, the fix now merges multi-line block comments back into single Comment nodes in the conversion layer (cl/internal/convert/comments.go:NewCommentGroupFromC). This:

  1. Maintains backward compatibility with parser tests
  2. Produces valid Go AST for gogen v1.20.2

Changes:

  • Reverted parser.go to original behavior (split by newlines with \n)
  • Updated NewCommentGroupFromC to merge block comments into single nodes
  • Updated tests to verify the merging behavior

Commit: bb080cb

The fix merges multi-line block comments back into single Comment nodes
in the conversion layer (NewCommentGroupFromC), instead of changing the
parser output format. This maintains backward compatibility with parser
tests while fixing the gogen v1.20.2 incompatibility.

Changes:
- Reverted parser.go to original behavior (split by newlines with \n)
- Updated NewCommentGroupFromC to merge block comments into single nodes
- Updated tests to verify the merging behavior

This ensures generated Go code is valid with gogen v1.20.2.
