Mar 20, 2019 at 18:25 comment added lubgr Well, the regex approach I posted will definitely be slow... Besides, make sure to read e.g. this thread before editing your question.
Mar 20, 2019 at 17:41 comment added user3132457 the reason i'm not using regex is that, after removing the comments i run a regex on the string, so if i remove the comments using regex, that'll be 2 regex passes for each string, and i know c++ regex is infamous for its slowness. i know about string_view, but don't have c++17 available. the input "a /* b \n c */ d # e" is supposed to return a \n d (i had a bug and fixed it to return the correct string). and i like the idea to have a comment remover class. i'll update my code respectively and post it again, thanks.
