Re: Performance implications of GRegex structure

[Yevgen Muntyan <muntyan tamu edu>]

Hey,

I looked at gtksourceview and its patterns, the syntax
highlighting engine uses regular expressions with up
to 56 subpatterns (length of patterns was the reason
for egg_regex_ref()), which amounts to 670 bytes array
to store offsets. The match structure in this case is
some 40 bytes + those 670 bytes. I am not sure if
it's a lot, is it?
