fix(clike): stop C++ raw string literals from swallowing following code

The change

3232
3333 @staticmethod
3434 def generate_tokens(source_code, addition='', token_class=None):
35- # Add pattern for C++ raw string literals R"delimiter(content)delimiter"
36- # The delimiter can be empty or up to 16 chars (excluding parentheses, backslash, whitespace)
37- # Using a simplified pattern that handles most cases
38- addition = r"|R\"[^(\\]*\((?:[^)]|\)[^\"])*\)[^(\\]*\"" + \
35+ # C++ raw string literals: R"(...)" with an optional encoding prefix
36+ # (u8/u/U/L). Match the empty-delimiter form and stop at the first ')"'
37+ # terminator: a ')' only continues the body when it is not followed by a
38+ # double quote. The pattern added for #451 used a closing class of
39+ # [^(\\]* which also matched '"', so it ran past the terminator and
40+ # swallowed the following code (issue #478). Custom delimiters such as
41+ # R"tag(...)tag" without an embedded '"' are handled by the normal
42+ # string-literal rule that follows in the token pattern.
43+ addition = r"|(?:u8|u|U|L)?R\"\((?:[^)]|\)(?!\"))*\)\"" + \
3944 r"|(?:\d*\.\d+(?:[eE][-+]?\d+)?)" + \
4045 r"|(?:\d+\.(?:\d+)?(?:[eE][-+]?\d+)?)" + \
4146 addition

The check that tells the two apart

failpass·test/test_languages/testCAndCPP.py::Test_cpp_raw_string_literals::test_raw_string_brace_init_keeps_following_function
failpass·test/test_languages/testCAndCPP.py::Test_cpp_raw_string_literals::test_raw_string_eq_init_keeps_function_bounds

Check file test/test_languages/testCAndCPP.py, taken without changes from the fix and copied onto the older code, so the exact same check runs against both versions.
