---- Reported by matt@use.net 2006-07-21 13:01:35 MST ----

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. get latest NUnit CVS
2. compile with 'nant mono-2.0 release build'


Actual Results:
Lots of warnings like this:
      
[csc] /home/matt/src/nunit20/src/NUnitFramework/framework/Assert.cs(30,1): 
warning CS1587: XML comment is not placed on a valid language element


Expected Results:
Looking at the code, there isn't an XML comment on or near that line. The 
closest ones all appear legitimate to me. 


Additional Information:
The Assert.cs mentioned above is attached.

From ECMA 334 (3rd Edition) Annex E (nominal Page 479 in the spec PDF):

<blockquote>
E.1 Introduction

Comments having a special form can be used to direct a tool to produce
XML from those comments and the source code elements, which they
precede. Such comments are single-line comments of the form /// … or
delimited comments of the form /** … */. They must immediately precede
a user-defined type (such as a class, delegate, or interface) or a
member (such as a field, event, property, or method) that they
annotate. Attribute sections are considered part of declarations, so
documentation comments must precede attributes applied to a type or
member.
</blockquote>

Thus this is a bug in NUnit.

(Hint: ECMA 334 does not specify that /*** is *not* a delimiter for
XML doc comments.)
