Hi,

I did some hacking into this.  If you want a simple form of completion
you can use the following implementation-

#include <gtksourceview/gtksourcecompletion.h>
#include <gtksourceview/gtksourcecompletioninfo.h>
#include <gtksourceview/gtksourcecompletionitem.h>
#include
<gtksourceview/completion-providers/words/gtksourcecompletionwords.h>

GtkSourceCompletionWords *prov_words;

comp = gtk_source_view_get_completion (GTK_SOURCE_VIEW (textview));

prov_words = gtk_source_completion_words_new (NULL, NULL);

gtk_source_completion_words_register (prov_words,
  gtk_text_view_get_buffer (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (textview)));

gtk_source_completion_add_provider (comp,
  GTK_SOURCE_COMPLETION_PROVIDER (prov_words)NULL);

I added more than needed #includes above for safety. You may want to
test the code and remove some of them. If you want to make a more
complex you have to build your own provider from scratch with a
structure, create it as an object and pass it into
gtk_source_completion_add_provider, because GtkSourceCompletionProvider
has no constructor, which is weird.
