No, it won't fail. Look:

 statement:
        unticked_statement { zend_do_ticks(TSRMLS_C); }
    |   doc_comment { zend_do_free(&$1 TSRMLS_CC); } unticked_statement { 
zend_do_ticks(TSRMLS_C); }
 ;

This allows doc comments before any non-declarative statement. The only
remaining problem is having doc comments before class vars and
constants.

If you think it's better to go with the approach that Alan outlined, I
can live with that too, but it seems easier to handle this in the parser
rather than in zend_do_* functions and also having to reset the doc
comment for each statement.

The Feynman problem solving algorithm:

1) Write down the problem.
2) Think real hard.
3) Write down the answer.
