We need to setup MiMa on this project. |

Right, this is not a stable API |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Why not mark it as @InternalApi as Akka?

They can use comments.map(_.span).

As this project depends on the compiler itself, it must be recompiled for each version of the compiler (including patch versions). They might need to adapt their code for each release. I'm unsure if this project should be on the open community build. Most of the failures will be on the side of scala-repl-pp. The best setup is probably for them to test each day against our nightlies to discover new incompatibilities. |

Agreed, it sounds like it's not a good candidate for our use in the community build. |

There is nothing bad in removing that in Scala Next (so on the current main), but I'm strongly against removing any API in LTS; even if we are not providing any guarantees for such API. I'll merge this to 3.3.1. EDIT: I just realized that the API was removed AFTER the 3.3.1 cut-off, so it is okay for now. |

Restores
Scanner.commentSpansmethod removed in #17528 to preserve the source compatibility of the public compiler API.The restored method is now marked as deprecated, allowing to remove it in some future, non-lts, major release.
The public API was used in mpollmeier/scala-repl-pp and regression was discvered in Open CB: https://github.com/VirtusLab/community-build3/actions/runs/5557868276/jobs/10155544164
