Allow asterisks in comments

Once the parser passes a /*
token, it proceeds to search for a */
token, throwing a SyntaxError as soon as it encounter an asterisk not immediately followed by a slash. Comments can contain asterisks though. Many of these comments in project files are autogenerated, for example based on a file name which could have an asterisk in it.
Could the parser ignore *
characters between /*
and */
, continuing its search without issue until it finds the closing */
?
To reproduce the below, call the parser on any (file containing a) line such as /* Upload *.dSYM to Firebase */
:
Thrown:
{ [SyntaxError: Expected "*/" or [^*] but "*" found.
]
message: 'Expected "*/" or [^*] but "*" found.',
expected:
[ { type: 'class',
parts: [Array],
inverted: true,
ignoreCase: false },
{ type: 'literal', text: '*/', ignoreCase: false },
{ type: 'class',
parts: [Array],
inverted: true,
ignoreCase: false },
{ type: 'literal', text: '*/', ignoreCase: false } ],
