I'd have to adapt your strategy because my code is totally hand-rolled. This function would probably have to assemble comments and save them in an adjunct vector of strings. It's invoked from many places and I'm loath to spend time speculatively constructing and passing around strings.
size_t Lexer::NextPos(size_t pos) const
{
   //  Find the next character to be parsed.
   //
   while(pos < size_)
   {
      auto c = source_->at(pos);

      switch(c)
      {
      case SPACE:
      case CRLF:
      case TAB:
         //
         //  Skip these.
         //
         ++pos;
         break;

      case '/':
         //
         //  See if this begins a comment (// or /*).
         //
         if(++pos >= size_) return string::npos;

         switch(source_->at(pos))
         {
         case '/':
            //
            //  This is a // comment.  Continue on the next line.
            //
            pos = source_->find(CRLF, pos);
            if(pos == string::npos) return pos;
            ++pos;
            break;

         case '*':
            //
            //  This is a /* comment.  Continue where it ends.
            //
            if(++pos >= size_) return string::npos;
            pos = source_->find(COMMENT_END_STR, pos);
            if(pos == string::npos) return string::npos;
            pos += 2;
            break;

         default:
            //
            //  The / did not introduce a comment, so it is the next
            //  character of interest.
            //
            return --pos;
         }
         break;

      case BACKSLASH:
         //
         //  See if this is a continuation of the current line.
         //
         if(++pos >= size_) return string::npos;
         if(source_->at(pos) != CRLF) return pos - 1;
         ++pos;
         break;

      default:
         return pos;
      }
   }

   return string::npos;
}
