have you had a look at the mbiter module of gnulib? Its documentation
says that you can turn:
char *iter;
for (iter = buf; iter < buf + buflen; iter++)
{
do_something (*iter);
}
into:
mbi_iterator_t iter;
for (mbi_init (iter, buf, buflen); mbi_avail (iter); mbi_advance
(iter))
{
do_something (mbi_cur_ptr (iter), mb_len (mbi_cur (iter)));
}
and seems quite straightforward to me.
