Subject: bug#35675: 27.0.50; Is line-number-at-pos unnecessarily slow?
Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 15:55:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zhnuuj0y.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all -
I ran into a bottleneck at line-number-at-pos in ESS's indentation
engine. line-number-at-pos basically regex searches forward for \n's and
counts them up. This can be slow in a large buffer. It looks like
someone else has ran into this issue as well.[1]
With the advent of display-line-numbers-mode, I imagine there's a C
implementation of line-number-at-pos. I imagine the C implementation is
faster. Does it make sense for line-number-at-pos to just use the C
implementation?
Thanks,
Alex
