The script seems not able to preprocess this method. Specifically the problematic instruction is the bold one.
Do you have any workarounds?

There is no infinite loop, the regex used to match literals in C-style code is very computationally expensive.

If you run the script for long enough (or shorten the code) it will eventually pass.

This is a result of 7048f63, where I tweaked the regex to work on escaped strings. I'll have to come up with a less expensive regex.

I confirm that my previously parsed C code can no longer be parsed with comment_parser==v1.2.2 (even after 1 hour)
