* Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.5.0p0 (2017-12-25 revision 61468) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
RDoc might fail when comment is inside code, such as:

~~~ruby
def meth
  variable # comment
    .chain
end
~~~

I was made aware of this issue via this bug [1] report, but it has been already reported [2] and fixed [3] upstream. Would be nice if this is fixed in RDoc shipped in Ruby.
