+A multi-line (doc-)comment is unterminated.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0758
+/* I am not terminated!
+```
+
+The same goes for doc comments:
+
+```compile_fail,E0758
+/*! I am not terminated!
+```
+
+You need to end your multi-line comment with `*/` in order to fix this error:
+
+```
+/* I am terminated! */
+/*! I am also terminated! */
+```
