Forked from

@jtlapp: interesting, I wonder if that's because of the alternation in the comment regex: (?> /\* (?s:.*?) (?: \*/ | \z ) )

If you don't mind not matching the "or end of file" condition, you can remove the | \z part.

update: didn't seem to help.

I replaced some (?: with (?>, and tweaked the function pattern. Perf issue seems to have gone away, perhaps because of v12.1 update to 64 bit.
