Issue: Line continuation does not bypass through comments in cdef: block

[Antony Lee]

In

def main():

    print(1 +\

          # some comment

          2)

    cdef:

        int foo, \

            # some comment

            bar

the first line continuation is correctly handled (as for CPython), but the second one raises a compilation error as of Cython 0.24.1:

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------
...
         # some comment
         2)
   cdef:
       int foo, \
           # some comment
           bar
^
------------------------------------------------------------

foo.pyx:8:0: Expected an identifier, found 'INDENT'

Error compiling Cython file:

         2)
   cdef:
       int foo, \
           # some comment
           bar

------------------------------------------------------------
