Description

This comment in a .thrift file will cause a parse error:

/**
 * /
 */

For example:

$ thrift -version                 
Thrift version 0.9.3
$ cat example.thrift              
namespace java com.example

/**
 * /
 */
struct Foo {}
$ thrift --gen java example.thrift
[ERROR:/Users/ryangreenberg/workspace/source/example.thrift:3] (last token was '/')
Unexpected token in input: "/"

This bug was encountered because of a reference to an absolute file path in a docblock comment (e.g. * /var/log/…)
