Thanks for the suggestion. Indeed, that would be the first approach. That is how I started. This is however not considering the state (am I inside a 'statement' or not)

statement meaning string from first non-space till next EOL or EOF.

Problem starts when you need to cover the "corner cases". Without the corner cases the algo is not algo.

Do you mind trying out your solution? The code is in https://github.com/zokrezyl/yaal-cpp-poc Thanks a lot!

Obviously if your solutions gets closed to the memory bandwith limit, we will proudly mention it!

So I've thought about it and I don't really feel like spending more time to convince you that this works. If you have questions I am happy to answer them, but please write your own code.

This does track the state. If you want to track it across multple vectors of input, you'll need to carry it over manually.
