Hi there, Is there a way to append a comment to a item declaration: I am using JavaDoc comments currently and they take up 3 lines:
/**
* BUFFER OVERRUN INDICT
/
public final List AABOR;
I want:
public final List AABOR; /* BUFFER OVERRUN INDICT */

[yaccoff]

Okay thx for replying. Andy

[yaccoff]

On second thoughts, any reason I cant add it?

[JakeWharton]

We do not want such a feature because it has a lot of pitfalls. The most critical of which is what happens when the comment contains a newline?

[yaccoff]

Ah just reiwing the other post, about off loading.

[yaccoff]

I dont understand why it has pitfalls, but your more involved than I to understand that. My problem is that I am translating Lang A to Lang B and there are 10 of thousands of variables, all with 3 lines of Javadoc.

FieldSpec.addInitializer("; // BUFFER OVERRUN INDICT") is a hack that would work - it would append a semicolon at the end of the comment if you're ok with that. But generated code shouldn't really care about extra lines, so none of this is likely worth it.

Can I just understand your reply: Given this code,

FieldSpec fs = FieldSpec.builder(listParameterizedTypeName, name)
.addModifiers(Modifier.PUBLIC, Modifier.FINAL)
.addJavadoc(strJavadoc)
.build();

it would change to this?

FieldSpec fs = FieldSpec.builder(listParameterizedTypeName, name)
.addModifiers(Modifier.PUBLIC, Modifier.FINAL)
.addInitializer("; // BUFFER OVERRUN INDICT")
.addJavadoc(strJavadoc)
.build();

[yaccoff]

Minus the addJavadoc line -;)

[ronshapiro]

Replace addJavadoc and use addInitializer("; $L", strJavadoc)

Got you, thx Ron

[yaccoff]

Having implemented the suggestion; by adding:

initialise("ArrayList<Integer>(); // $L", strJavaDoc) ......the ArrayList isnt imported into the class definition, Any way to do that?

[ronshapiro]

I think you'd do well to read the docs בתאריך יום ו׳, 25 בפבר׳ 2022, 12:07, מאת yaccoff ***@***.***
