Jira issue originally created by user @beberlei:

Currently its pretty hard to find out where exactly an error occured when an AnnotationsParser Syntax Error occurs.

My Proposal would be to extend \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\Parser:

public function parse($docBlockString, $contextName="")
{
    $this->contextName = $contextName;
    //...
}

private function syntaxError($expected, $token = null)
{
    // ...
   if(strlen($this->contextName)) {
        $message .= " in context '".$this->contextName."'";
    }
}

This way in the AnnotationsDriver you could add the contexts:

"Class Foo"
"Property Foo::$bar"

This would be an enourmuous help with finding syntax errors when you have lots of different annotated docblocks that are parsed.

Sounds very useful to me. If you want you can implement that. Just make sure the context name is cleaned up properly so that no unwanted side-effects occur which could probably result in syntax errors with a wrong context name which would be extremely confusing.
