String::Comments::Extract
my $comments = String::Comments::Extract::C->extract($source)
String::Comments::Extract is a tool for extracting comments from C/C++/JavaScript/Java. The extractor is implemented using an actual tokenizer (written in C via XS [adapted from JavaScript::Minifier::XS]). By using a tokenizer, it can correctly deal with notoriously problematic cases, such as comment-like structures embedded in strings:
std::cout << "This is not a // real C++ comment " << std::endl
printf("/* This is not a real C comment */\n");
# The extractor will ignore both of the above
