[Question] What to expect when embedded and regular fields are also separated by a block comment

[manuelarte]

Hi,

Imagine the following structs:

type BlockComments struct {
	time.Time

	/**
	 * Other important fields
	 */

	// the version
	version int

    // other field
   name string
}

type MoreComments struct {
	time.Time

	// some fields

	// the version
	version int

    // other field
   name string

   // some other fields

   // myfield
   age int
}

Right now the linter is complaining that there is too many empty lines between the embedded and regular fields.

By removing the empty line between the block comment and the 1st regular field, then the linter does not complain:

type BlockComments struct {
	time.Time

	/**
	 * Other important fields
	 */
	// the version
	version int

    // other field
    name string
}

But what do you think the linter should do in this scenario?

It looks like a false positive to me, but also a niche problem.

to me, it also looks like a false positive. I can try to work on a solution for this.

@ldez what do you think we should do with this issue?
We have a workaround by disabling the empty-line check, but it does not really solve the issue.
