I had the same problem. My current solution is to cache the offsets already found. You could do something like this int start = g_utf8_pointer_to_offset(data+last_index, data+t->start) + last_offset; where last_index is set to the byte index at the last call of g_utf8_pointer_to_offset and last_offset is set to the char offset at the last call of g_utf8_pointer_to_offset. This should make it a whole lot faster.
it is indeed a bit faster, but still with this function my highlighting
engine is spending 30% of it's time to convert byte offsets to UTF8
offsets.
Why is there no simple way to set a GtkTextIter to a byteoffset in the
text? It can be done per line (the function gtk_text_iter_set_line_index()
does exist!?) so why no gtk_text_iter_set_index() function?
