-// Sanitization is needed here because of an ASM bug: https://gitlab.ow2.org/asm/asm/issues/317868
-// As soon as that bug is fixed and we've updated to the new version of ASM, this test will start to pass without sanitization.
-// At that point, we should remove the -Xsanitize-parentheses compiler argument.
-// Also don't forget to disable this test on Android where parentheses are not allowed in names
+// Sanitization is needed here because DxChecker reports ParseException on parentheses in names.
