Currently I'm slurping doc-comments by reading the original header specified in the .loc of a method, looking backwards for the previous semicolon or closing-brace, and then using a regex. This method is surprisingly effective, but it misses doc-comments that have a semicolon or closing brace within them. Taras says that using libraries such as MCPP or libcpp, we may be able to get the last comment before a location in a file precisely. Filing this for future investigation.
