Ice-3.6.2 slice2java parsing bug

Hello ZeroC -

I have come across the following slice2java bug. But first things first, my environment:
Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago) with kernel 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
Ice: 3.6.2 locally built
slice2java: 3.6.2 locally built
C++ toolchain: gcc6.1.0

What happens is that lines in the ice definition files that have a trailing comment seem to be considered a comment in their entirety. This causes:

• structs or classes member variables to disappear silently
• enum values to disappear silently
• member functions of interfaces to disappear silently
• syntax errors when comments are appended to opening or closing scopes (modules, enums, structs or classes)

I have attached Here is the test file I used to illustrate the bug:
SliceBug.ice:

#pragma once

module test_module {
    struct TestStruct {
        long member;
        long disappearing_member; // This comment will make this line disappear
    };
}; // This comment generates a syntax error

This is what happens when I run slice2java against that Ice file:

[11:14:49 epic@XXX:~/tmp/slice2java_test]
$ slice2java -Iice_def -Igcc6.1.0/x86_64/Ice-3.6.2/slice --underscore --tie --stream --output-dir=ice_lib ice_def/SliceBug.ice
/home/epic/tmp/slice2java_test/ice_def/SliceBug.ice:9: syntax error

If I remove the comment that generates the syntax error, slice2java completes. It generates ice_lib/test_module/TestStruct.java, but the code is incomplete. It is missing the long disappearing_member:

[11:16:18 epic@XXX:~/tmp/slice2java_test]
$ cat ice_lib/test_module/TestStruct.java

package test_module;

public class TestStruct implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
{
    public long member;

    public TestStruct()
    {
    }

    public TestStruct(long member)
    {
        this.member = member;
    }
[...]

If I remove the comment trailing long disappearing_member;, then slice2java finally generates the proper java file:

[11:37:27 epic@XXX:~/tmp/slice2java_test]
$ cat ice_lib/test_module/TestStruct.java

package test_module;

public class TestStruct implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
{
    public long member;

    public long disappearing_member;

    public TestStruct()
    {
    }

    public TestStruct(long member, long disappearing_member)
    {
        this.member = member;
        this.disappearing_member = disappearing_member;
    }
[...]
