comment-whitespace-inside

Require or disallow whitespace on the inside of comment markers.

    /* comment */
/**  ↑         ↑
 * The space inside these two markers */

Any number of asterisks are allowed at the beginning or end of the comment. So /** comment **/ is treated the same way as /* comment */.
