Comments in multi-line statements are not handled correctly

[antifuchs]

Lines with to-end-of-the-line comments can sometimes cause the nested lexer to go wild & scan to the end of the buffer for the next token. Examples in the indents-continuation-lines-with-comments test.

Examples:

  def foo do #bla
            oh_noes    
  end

    write_env_tmp_dir('TMPDIR') || # foo
                                  write_env_tmp_dir('TEMP')  ||
                                  write_env_tmp_dir('TMP') ||
                                  write_tmp_dir("/tmp")     ||
                                  ((cwd = cwd()) && write_tmp_dir(cwd))

I'm beginning to suspect this is a SMIE bug in combination with the syntax table (where "#" is < and "\n" is >). Pretty dissatisfying.

This is sorted out now apparently as the test passes. Do you know how/where this got fixed?

[mattdeboard]

I ask because it seems like this could be related to #18 #38 #41 #48

This issue has been resolved.

// , Why does Elixir not have multi-line comments, in the first place, though?

[tonini]

@v6 This have nothing to do with the emacs-elixir in particular.

In Elixir you just stack your comments, there is no need for a multi-line specific syntax

[v6]

// , Consider WHY someone would want a multi-line comment.

Anything come to mind? Any good reasons?
