You are still generating a copy of the code before re-parsing it.
Those will happen for anything that passes the matcher, even if they have no 'void' argument.
removeVoidArgumentTokens should take the code as a StringRef directly from getText(), without converting to std::string first. GrammarLocation should also be a StringRef.
Basically, avoid std::string until you are about to call diag().
