Subject: bug#54769: 28.1; Incorrect sql comment highlighting
Date: Thu, 07 Apr 2022 16:30:24 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Attached a small test.sql file where the statement after the comment incorrectly gets comment face.

Looks like the two kinds of comment styles confuses the highlighter:

"You can include a comment in a statement in two ways:

Begin the comment with a slash and an asterisk (/*). Proceed with the text of the comment. This text can span multiple lines. End the comment with an asterisk and a slash (*/). The opening and terminating characters need not be separated from the text by a space or a line break.
Begin the comment with -- (two hyphens). Proceed with the text of the comment. This text cannot extend to a new line. End the comment with a line break.
"

If you remove the hyphens from the /* */ comment then the higlighting is correct.

Such SQL worked fine for me with 27.1, so something must have happened since then.
