address@hidden Overview of Flymake
address@hidden Overview
address@hidden Overview of Flymake
-
-Flymake is a universal on-the-fly syntax checker implemented as an
-Emacs minor mode. Flymake runs the pre-configured syntax check tool
-(compiler for C++ files, @code{perl} for perl files, etc.) in the
-background, passing it a temporary copy of the current buffer, and
-parses the output for known error/warning message patterns. Flymake
-then highlights erroneous lines (i.e. lines for which at least one
-error or warning has been reported by the syntax check tool), and
-displays an overall buffer status in the mode line. Status information
-displayed by Flymake contains total number of errors and warnings
-reported for the buffer during the last syntax check.
-
address@hidden and @code{flymake-goto-prev-error}
-functions allow for easy navigation to the next/previous erroneous
-line, respectively.
-
-Calling @code{flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line} will popup a
-menu containing error messages reported by the syntax check tool for
-the current line. Errors/warnings belonging to another file, such as a
address@hidden header file included by a @code{.c} file, are shown in the
-current buffer as belonging to the first line. Menu items for such
-messages also contain a filename and a line number. Selecting such a
-menu item will automatically open the file and jump to the line with
-error.
-
-Syntax check is done 'on-the-fly'. It is started whenever
-
address@hidden @bullet
address@hidden buffer is loaded
address@hidden a newline character is added to the buffer
address@hidden some changes were made to the buffer more than @code{0.5} 
seconds ago (the
-delay is configurable).

-
-Flymake is packaged in a single file, @code{flymake.el}.
-
-To install/update Flymake, place @code{flymake.el} to a directory
-somewhere on Emacs load path. You might also want to byte-compile
address@hidden to improve performance.
-
-Also, place the following line in the @code{.emacs} file.
-
address@hidden
-(require 'flymake)
address@hidden lisp
-
-You might also map the most frequently used Flymake functions, such as
address@hidden, to some keyboard shortcuts:

-Flymake is an Emacs minor mode. To use Flymake, you
-must first activate @code{flymake-mode} by using the
address@hidden function.
-
-Instead of manually activating @code{flymake-mode}, you can configure
-Flymake to automatically enable @code{flymake-mode} upon opening any
-file for which syntax check is possible. To do so, place the following
-line in @code{.emacs}:

-check can also be started manually by using the
address@hidden function. This
-can be used, for example, when changes were made to some other buffer
-affecting the current buffer.

-Flymake uses a simple logging facility for indicating important points
-in the control flow. The logging facility sends logging messages to
-the @code{*Messages*} buffer. The information logged can be used for
-resolving various problems related to Flymake.
-
-Logging output is controlled by the @code{flymake-log-level}
-variable. @code{3} is the  most verbose level, and @code{-1} switches

address@hidden lisp
-
address@hidden @code
address@hidden filename-regexp
-This field is used as a key for locating init/cleanup/getfname
-functions for the buffer.  Items in
address@hidden are searched sequentially. The
-first item with @code{filename-regexp} matching buffer filename is
-selected. If no match is found, @code{flymake-mode} is switched off.
-
address@hidden init-function
address@hidden is required to initialize the syntax check,
-usually by creating a temporary copy of the buffer contents. The
-function must return @code{(list cmd-name arg-list)}. If
address@hidden returns null, syntax check is aborted, by
address@hidden is not switched off.
-
address@hidden cleanup-function
address@hidden is called after the syntax check process is
-complete and should take care of proper deinitialization, which is
-usually deleting a temporary copy created by the @code{init-function}.
-
address@hidden getfname-function
-This function is used for translating filenames reported by the syntax
-check tool into ``real'' filenames. Filenames reported by the tool
-will be different from the real ones, as actually the tool works with
-the temporary copy.  In most cases, the default implementation
-provided by Flymake, @code{flymake-get-real-file-name}, can be used as

-
-In this example, we will add support for @code{perl} as a syntax check

-
-First, we write the @code{init-function}:
-
address@hidden
-(defun flymake-perl-init (buffer)
-  (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy
-                     buffer 'flymake-create-temp-inplace))
-         (local-file  (concat (flymake-build-relative-filename
-                               (file-name-directory
-                                (buffer-file-name
-                                 (current-buffer)))
-                               (file-name-directory temp-file))
-                              (file-name-nondirectory temp-file))))
-    (list "perl" (list "-wc " local-file))))
address@hidden lisp
-
address@hidden creates a temporary copy of the buffer
-contents with the help of
address@hidden, and builds an appropriate
-command line.
-
-Next, we add a new entry to the
address@hidden:
-
address@hidden
-(setq flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
-      (cons '(".+\\.pl$"
-              flymake-perl-init
-              flymake-simple-cleanup
-              flymake-get-real-file-name)
-            flymake-allowed-file-name-masks))
address@hidden lisp
-
-Note that we use standard @code{cleanup-function} and
address@hidden
-
-Finally, we add an entry to @code{flymake-err-line-patterns}:
-
address@hidden
-(setq flymake-err-line-patterns
-      (cons '("\\(.*\\) at \\([^ \n]+\\) line \\([0-9]+\\)[,.\n]"
-              2 3 nil 1)
-            flymake-err-line-patterns))
address@hidden lisp
-

-
-In this example we will add support for C files syntax checked by
address@hidden called via @code{make}.
-
-We're not required to write any new functions, as Flymake already has
-functions for @code{make}. We just add a new entry to the
address@hidden:
-
address@hidden
-(setq flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
-      (cons '(".+\\.c$"
-              flymake-simple-make-init
-              flymake-simple-cleanup
-              flymake-get-real-file-name)
-            flymake-allowed-file-name-masks))
address@hidden lisp
-
address@hidden builds the following @code{make}
-command line:
-
address@hidden
-(list "make"
-      (list "-s" "-C"
-            base-dir
-            (concat "CHK_SOURCES=" source)
-            "SYNTAX_CHECK_MODE=1"
-            "check-syntax"))
address@hidden lisp
-
address@hidden is a directory containing @code{Makefile}, see @ref{Locating the 
buildfile}.
-
-Thus, @code{Makefile} must contain the @code{check-syntax} target. In
-our case this target might look like this:
-
address@hidden
-check-syntax:
-       gcc -o nul -S ${CHK_SOURCES}
address@hidden verbatim
-
-The format of error messages reported by @code{gcc} is already

-
-Syntax check is started by calling 
@code{flymake-start-syntax-check-for-current-buffer}.
-Flymake first determines whether it is able to do syntax
-check. It then saves a copy of the buffer in a temporary file in the
-buffer's directory (or in the system temp directory -- for java
-files), creates a syntax check command and launches a process with
-this command. The output is parsed using a list of error message patterns,
-and error information (file name, line number, type and text) is
-saved. After the process has finished, Flymake highlights erroneous
-lines in the buffer using the accumulated error information.
-
address@hidden Determining whether syntax check is possible
address@hidden Determining whether syntax check is possible
address@hidden Syntax check models
address@hidden Master file
-
-Syntax check is considered possible if there's an entry in
address@hidden matching buffer's filename and
-its @code{init-function} returns address@hidden value.
-
-Two syntax check modes are distinguished:
-
address@hidden
-
address@hidden
-Buffer can be syntax checked in a standalone fashion, that is, the
-file (its temporary copy, in fact) can be passed over to the compiler to
-do the syntax check. Examples are C/C++ (.c, .cpp) and Java (.java)
-sources.
-
address@hidden
-Buffer can be syntax checked, but additional file, called master file,
-is required to perform this operation. A master file is a file that
-includes the current file, so that running a syntax check tool on it
-will also check syntax in the current file. Examples are C/C++ (.h,
-.hpp) headers.
-
address@hidden enumerate
-
-These modes are handled inside init/cleanup/getfname functions, see
address@hidden support for a new syntax check tool}.
-
-Flymake contains implementations of all functionality required to
-support different syntax check modes described above (making
-temporary copies, finding master files, etc.), as well as some
-tool-specific (routines for @code{make}, @code{Ant}, etc.) code.
-
-
address@hidden Making a temporary copy
address@hidden Making a temporary copy
address@hidden Temporary copy of the buffer
address@hidden Master file
-
-After the possibility of the syntax check has been determined, a
-temporary copy of the current buffer is made so that the most recent
-unsaved changes could be seen by the syntax check tool. Making a copy
-is quite straightforward in a standalone case (mode @code{1}), as it's
-just saving buffer contents to a temporary file.
-
-Things get trickier, however, when master file is involved, as it
-requires to
-
address@hidden @bullet
address@hidden locate a master file
address@hidden patch it to include the current file using its new (temporary)
-name.
address@hidden itemize
-
-Locating a master file is discussed in the following section.
-
-Patching just changes all appropriate lines of the master file so that they
-use the new (temporary) name of the current file. For example, suppose current
-file name is @code{file.h}, the master file is @code{file.cpp}, and
-it includes current file via @code{#include "file.h"}. Current file's copy
-is saved to file @code{file_flymake.h}, so the include line must be
-changed to @code{#include "file_flymake.h"}. Finally, patched master file
-is saved to @code{file_flymake_master.cpp}, and the last one is passed to
-the syntax check tool.
-
address@hidden Locating a master file
address@hidden Locating a master file
address@hidden Master file
-
-Master file is located in two steps.
-
-First, a list of possible master files is built. A simple name
-matching is used to find the files. For a C++ header @code{file.h},
-Flymake searches for all @code{.cpp} files in the directories whose relative 
paths are
-stored in a customizable variable @code{flymake-master-file-dirs}, which
-usually contains something like @code{("." "./src")}. No more than
address@hidden entries is added to the master file
-list. The list is then sorted to move files with names @code{file.cpp} to
-the top.
-
-Next, each master file in a list is checked to contain the appropriate
-include directives. No more than @code{flymake-check-file-limit} of each
-file are parsed.
-
-For @code{file.h}, the include directives to look for are
address@hidden "file.h"}, @code{#include "../file.h"}, etc. Each
-include is checked against a list of include directories
-(see @ref{Getting the include directories}) to be sure it points to the
-correct @code{file.h}.
-
-First matching master file found stops the search. The master file is then
-patched and saved to disk. In case no master file is found, syntax check is
-aborted, and corresponding status (!) is reported in the mode line.
-
address@hidden Getting the include directories
address@hidden Getting the include directories
address@hidden Include directories (C/C++ specific)
-
-Two sets of include directories are distinguished: system include directories
-and project include directories. The former is just the contents of the
address@hidden environment variable. The latter is not so easy to obtain,
-and the way it can be obtained can vary greatly for different projects.
-Therefore, a customizable variable
address@hidden is used to provide the
-way to implement the desired behavior.
-
-The default implementation, @code{flymake-get-project-include-dirs-imp},
-uses a @code{make} call. This requires a correct base directory, that is, a
-directory containing a correct @code{Makefile}, to be determined.
-
-As obtaining the project include directories might be a costly operation, its
-return value is cached in the hash table. The cache is cleared in the beginning
-of every syntax check attempt.

-Flymake can be configured to use different tools for performing syntax
-checks. For example, it can use direct compiler call to syntax check a perl
-script or a call to @code{make} for a more complicated case of a
address@hidden/C++} source. The general idea is that simple files, like perl
-scripts and html pages, can be checked by directly invoking a
-corresponding tool. Files that are usually more complex and generally
-used as part of larger projects, might require non-trivial options to
-be passed to the syntax check tool, like include directories for
-C++. The latter files are syntax checked using some build tool, like
address@hidden or @code{Ant}.
-
-All @code{make} configuration data is usually stored in a file called
address@hidden To allow for future extensions, flymake uses a notion of
-buildfile to reference the 'project configuration' file.
-
-Special function, @code{flymake-find-buildfile} is provided for locating 
buildfiles.
-Searching for a buildfile is done in a manner similar to that of searching
-for possible master files. A customizable variable
address@hidden holds a list of relative paths to the
-buildfile. They are checked sequentially until a buildfile is found. In case
-there's no build file, syntax check is aborted.
-
-Buildfile values are also cached.
-
address@hidden Starting the syntax check process
address@hidden Starting the syntax check process
address@hidden Syntax check process
-
-The command line (command name and the list of arguments) for launching a 
process is returned by the
-initialization function. Flymake then just calls @code{start-process}
-to start an asynchronous process and configures process filter and
-sentinel which is used for processing the output of the syntax check
-tool.
-

-err-text-idx)}, used to determine whether a particular line is an
-error message and extract file name, line number and error text,
-respectively. Error type (error/warning) is also guessed by matching
-error text with the '@code{^[wW]arning}' pattern. Anything that was not
-classified as a warning is considered an error. Type is then used to
-sort error menu items, which shows error messages first.
-
-Flymake is also able to interpret error message patterns missing err-text-idx
-information. This is done by merely taking the rest of the matched line
-(@code{(substring line (match-end 0))}) as error text. This trick allows
-to make use of a huge collection of error message line patterns from
address@hidden All these error patterns are appended to
-the end of @code{flymake-err-line-patterns}.
-
-The error information obtained is saved in a buffer local
-variable. The buffer for which the process output belongs is
-determined from the address@hidden>@w{}buffer mapping updated
-after every process launch/exit.

address@hidden Highlighting erroneous lines
address@hidden Highlighting erroneous lines
address@hidden Erroneous lines, faces
-
-Highlighting is implemented with overlays and happens in the process
-sentinel, after calling the cleanup function. Two customizable faces
-are used: @code{flymake-errline-face} and
address@hidden  Errors belonging outside the current
-buffer are considered to belong to line 1 of the current buffer.

address@hidden Interaction with other modes

address@hidden Interaction with other modes
address@hidden Interaction with compile mode
-
-The only mode flymake currently knows about is @code{compile}.
-
-Flymake can be configured to not start syntax check if it thinks the
-compilation is in progress. The check is made by the
address@hidden, which tests the
address@hidden variable. The reason why this might be
-useful is saving CPU time in case both syntax check and compilation
-are very CPU intensive. The original reason for adding this feature,
-though, was working around a locking problem with MS Visual C++ compiler.
-
-Flymake also provides an alternative command for starting compilation,
address@hidden:
-
address@hidden
-(defun flymake-compile ()
-  "Kill all flymake syntax checks then start compilation."
-  (interactive)
-  (flymake-stop-all-syntax-checks)
-  (call-interactively 'compile))
address@hidden lisp
-
-It just kills all the active syntax check processes before calling
address@hidden
