fclose($input);

did some further optimizations to the PHP version, now it's about 8.4 times faster than the original PHP version,
and about 4.8 times slower than the C version.

• could speed it up a lot by doing

        $ret .= $line[$i];
        $to = strcspn($line, '()\\\'', $i+1);
        if ($to !== 0) {
            $ret .= substr($line, $i+1, $to);
            $i += ($to);
        }

What license is this code?

Hello.
Thanks for your great work, but there is a bug. If someone writes in a varchar "-- " at the 100000th character, your code will think it's a comment. In the C version.
You should replace the "if(comment ..." with "if (!quote && (comment || is_commented(line))) {"

It took me a long time to figure that bug out... Thanks a lot
