Description Patric Rufflar CLA 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
Comment 1 Patric Rufflar CLA 2011-04-20 05:40:45 EDT 
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.
Comment 2 Chris Jaun CLA 2011-04-20 13:25:42 EDT 
I do not observe any unstable state in 3.2.4, which contains an updated parser. I just see some syntax errors reported.
Comment 3 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-04-20 16:17:46 EDT 
Patric, what destabilizing symptoms were you seeing?
Comment 4 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-04-27 22:01:58 EDT 
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.
