JavaDoc comments in Java source file throw off line and column values used by
javac for error reporting and class file debug info. It seems every JavaDoc
comment line adds one too many lines to the overall line count.


/**
 * Each line in JavaDoc comment throws off javac line numbers in
 * both error reporting and class file generation.
 */
public class JavacBug {
    void a(String i) {
        i++;
    }
}//------|


When compiled, produces the result:


JavacBug.java:9: operator ++ cannot be applied to java.lang.String
}//------|
         ^
1 error


The actual error is on line 7, not 9.
