clojure-find-def fails on spurious comments #686

Open

Description

@smendezs

If I put a comment after a defn like this:

(defn
   ;; comment
   foo [a b]
   (+ a b))

it's still syntactically valid clojure. However, this breaks some clojure-mode functionality.

Expected behavior

(clojure-find-def) with the pointer in that function should return ("defn" "foo").

Actual behavior

It returns nil.

The regexp responsible for this, clojure-def-type-and-name-regex doesn't take into account any comments before the symbol name (foo in this case).

Steps to reproduce the problem

Execute (clojure-find-def) while the pointer is in the above function def.
