Also repros on 3.0

Minimal repro

if (false) {
	/**
	 * @param {string} s
	 */
	const x = function (s) {
	};
}

The if expression has to be false 🤷‍♂️

[sandersn]

Parent pointers aren't filled in for the @param tag. Pretty sure this is supposed to happen in the parser.

Introduced in 2.9

Specifically, bisecting leads to #23947, which was a fairly large change that added @callback and corrected handling of @template in conjunction with jsdoc type aliases.

[sandersn]

In the binder, unreachable code mistakenly skips the bindJSDoc call in bindChildrenWorker, which sets parent pointers. That's why it has to be if (false) and not if (!!false), for example.

@sandersn Should this be closed?

[sandersn]

Yes, not sure why github didn't catch it.
