Jsdoc comment parsing can be invoked in two modes:
Top-level parsing skips an initial
*
because it assumes that it is starting at the very beginning of a JSDoc comment. Tag parsing does not.The two modes are distinguished by an optional second parameter named
margin
. Whenmargin
is provided, it provides an initial indent used for comment alignment.Previously, the check for
margin
was a truthy checkif (margin)
.This check incorrectly treats
margin=""
the same asmargin=undefined
.This PR changes the check to
if (margin !== undefined)
, which correctly treatsmargin=""
the same asmargin=" "
. Since the start state would now beSaveComments
much more often, it also changes the start state of comment parsing toSawAsterisk
, so that initial whitespace is ignored.SavingComments
retains all text, which is a breaking change (though perhaps a desirable one, but I'm not going to fix it here.)Fixes #21402
