ee7bf2ad
RM
42;; @ Introduction:
43;; ===============
44;; This package implements a full-fledged Lisp-style advice mechanism
fce44373 45;; for Emacs Lisp. Advice is a clean and efficient way to modify the
ee7bf2ad 46;; behavior of Emacs Lisp functions without having to keep personal
fce44373
DL
47;; modified copies of such functions around. A great number of such
48;; modifications can be achieved by treating the original function as a
49;; black box and specifying a different execution environment for it
ee7bf2ad
RM
50;; with a piece of advice. Think of a piece of advice as a kind of fancy
51;; hook that you can attach to any function/macro/subr.
52
53;; @ Highlights:
54;; =============
55;; - Clean definition of multiple, named before/around/after advices
56;; for functions, macros, subrs and special forms
57;; - Full control over the arguments an advised function will receive,
58;; the binding environment in which it will be executed, as well as the
59;; value it will return.
60;; - Allows re/definition of interactive behavior for functions and subrs
fce44373 61;; - Every piece of advice can have its documentation string which will be
ee7bf2ad
RM
62;; combined with the original documentation of the advised function at
63;; call-time of `documentation' for proper command-key substitution.
64;; - The execution of every piece of advice can be protected against error
65;; and non-local exits in preceding code or advices.
66;; - Simple argument access either by name, or, more portable but as
67;; efficient, via access macros
68;; - Allows the specification of a different argument list for the advised
69;; version of a function.
70;; - Advised functions can be byte-compiled either at file-compile time
71;; (see preactivation) or activation time.
72;; - Separation of advice definition and activation
fabaa9b5 73;; - Forward advice is possible, that is
ee7bf2ad 74;; as yet undefined or autoload functions can be advised without having to
fce44373 75;; preload the file in which they are defined.
ee7bf2ad
RM
76;; - Forward redefinition is possible because around advice can be used to
77;; completely redefine a function.
78;; - A caching mechanism for advised definition provides for cheap deactivation
79;; and reactivation of advised functions.
80;; - Preactivation allows efficient construction and compilation of advised
81;; definitions at file compile time without giving up the flexibility of
82;; the advice mechanism.
83;; - En/disablement mechanism allows the use of different "views" of advised
84;; functions depending on what pieces of advice are currently en/disabled
fce44373 85;; - Provides manipulation mechanisms for sets of advised functions via
ee7bf2ad 86;; regular expressions that match advice names

88;; @ How to get Advice for Emacs-18:
89;; =================================
90;; `advice18.el', a version of Advice that also works in Emacs-18 is available
fce44373 91;; either via anonymous ftp from `ftp.cs.buffalo.edu (128.205.32.9)' with
6e2f6f45
RS
92;; pathname `/pub/Emacs/advice18.el', or from one of the Emacs Lisp archive
93;; sites, or send email to <hans@cs.buffalo.edu> and I'll mail it to you.

95;; @ Overview, or how to read this file:
96;; =====================================
6e2f6f45
RS
97;; NOTE: This documentation is slightly out of date. In particular, all the
98;; references to Emacs-18 are obsolete now, because it is not any longer
99;; supported by this version of Advice. An up-to-date version will soon be
100;; available as an info file (thanks to the kind help of Jack Vinson and
101;; David M. Smith). Until then you can use `outline-mode' to help you read
102;; this documentation (set `outline-regexp' to `";; @+"').
ee7bf2ad

103;;
104;; The four major sections of this file are:
105;;
106;; @ This initial information ...installation, customization etc.
107;; @ Advice documentation: ...general documentation
6e2f6f45 108;; @ Foo games: An advice tutorial ...teaches about Advice by example
ee7bf2ad
RM
109;; @ Advice implementation: ...actual code, yeah!!
110;;
111;; The latter three are actual headings which you can search for
6e2f6f45 112;; directly in case `outline-mode' doesn't work for you.
ee7bf2ad
RM
113
114;; @ Restrictions:
115;; ===============
fabaa9b5
RS
116;; - This version of Advice only works for Emacs 19.26 and later. It uses
117;; new versions of the built-in functions `fset/defalias' which are not
118;; yet available in Lucid Emacs, hence, it won't work there.
ee7bf2ad
RM
119;; - Advised functions/macros/subrs will only exhibit their advised behavior
120;; when they are invoked via their function cell. This means that advice will
121;; not work for the following:
fce44373
DL
122;; + advised subrs that are called directly from other subrs or C-code
123;; + advised subrs that got replaced with their byte-code during
ee7bf2ad
RM
124;; byte-compilation (e.g., car)
125;; + advised macros which were expanded during byte-compilation before
126;; their advice was activated.

128;; @ Credits:
129;; ==========
130;; This package is an extension and generalization of packages such as
131;; insert-hooks.el written by Noah S. Friedman, and advise.el written by
132;; Raul J. Acevedo. Some ideas used in here come from these packages,
133;; others come from the various Lisp advice mechanisms I've come across
134;; so far, and a few are simply mine.
135
136;; @ Comments, suggestions, bug reports:
137;; =====================================
138;; If you find any bugs, have suggestions for new advice features, find the
139;; documentation wrong, confusing, incomplete, or otherwise unsatisfactory,
6e2f6f45 140;; have any questions about Advice, or have otherwise enlightening
ee7bf2ad
RM
141;; comments feel free to send me email at <hans@cs.buffalo.edu>.
142
143;; @ Safety Rules and Emergency Exits:
144;; ===================================
145;; Before we begin: CAUTION!!
6e2f6f45 146;; Advice provides you with a lot of rope to hang yourself on very
ee7bf2ad 147;; easily accessible trees, so, here are a few important things you
fabaa9b5
RS
148;; should know: Once Advice has been started with `ad-start-advice'
149;; (which happens automatically when you load this file), it
150;; generates an advised definition of the `documentation' function, and
151;; it will enable automatic advice activation when functions get defined.
152;; All of this can be undone at any time with `M-x ad-stop-advice'.
8a946354 153;;
ee7bf2ad 154;; If you experience any strange behavior/errors etc. that you attribute to
6e2f6f45 155;; Advice or to some ill-advised function do one of the following:
ee7bf2ad
RM
156
157;; - M-x ad-deactivate FUNCTION (if you have a definite suspicion what
158;; function gives you problems)
159;; - M-x ad-deactivate-all (if you don't have a clue what's going wrong)
160;; - M-x ad-stop-advice (if you think the problem is related to the
6e2f6f45 161;; advised functions used by Advice itself)
ee7bf2ad 162;; - M-x ad-recover-normality (for real emergencies)
6e2f6f45 163;; - If none of the above solves your Advice-related problem go to another
ee7bf2ad
RM
164;; terminal, kill your Emacs process and send me some hate mail.
165
166;; The first three measures have restarts, i.e., once you've figured out
167;; the problem you can reactivate advised functions with either `ad-activate',
168;; `ad-activate-all', or `ad-start-advice'. `ad-recover-normality' unadvises
169;; everything so you won't be able to reactivate any advised functions, you'll
170;; have to stick with their standard incarnations for the rest of the session.
171
6e2f6f45 172;; IMPORTANT: With Advice loaded always do `M-x ad-deactivate-all' before
ee7bf2ad
RM
173;; you byte-compile a file, because advised special forms and macros can lead
174;; to unwanted compilation results. When you are done compiling use
fce44373 175;; `M-x ad-activate-all' to go back to the advised state of all your
ee7bf2ad
RM
176;; advised functions.
177
6e2f6f45 178;; RELAX: Advice is pretty safe even if you are oblivious to the above.
ee7bf2ad
RM
179;; I use it extensively and haven't run into any serious trouble in a long
180;; time. Just wanted you to be warned.
181
ee7bf2ad
RM
182;; @ Customization:
183;; ================
ee7bf2ad 184
ee7bf2ad
RM
185;; Look at the documentation of `ad-redefinition-action' for possible values
186;; of this variable. Its default value is `warn' which will print a warning
187;; message when an already defined advised function gets redefined with a
188;; new original definition and de/activated.
189
fabaa9b5
RS
190;; Look at the documentation of `ad-default-compilation-action' for possible
191;; values of this variable. Its default value is `maybe' which will compile
192;; advised definitions during activation in case the byte-compiler is already
193;; loaded. Otherwise, it will leave them uncompiled.
194
ee7bf2ad
RM
195;; @ Motivation:
196;; =============
197;; Before I go on explaining how advice works, here are four simple examples
198;; how this package can be used. The first three are very useful, the last one
199;; is just a joke:
200
201;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (before existing-buffers-only activate)
fce44373 202;; "When called interactively switch to existing buffers only, unless
ee7bf2ad 203;;when called with a prefix argument."
fce44373
DL
204;; (interactive
205;; (list (read-buffer "Switch to buffer: " (other-buffer)
ee7bf2ad
RM
206;; (null current-prefix-arg)))))
207;;
208;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (around confirm-non-existing-buffers activate)
209;; "Switch to non-existing buffers only upon confirmation."
210;; (interactive "BSwitch to buffer: ")
211;; (if (or (get-buffer (ad-get-arg 0))
212;; (y-or-n-p (format "`%s' does not exist, create? " (ad-get-arg 0))))
213;; ad-do-it))
214;;
215;;(defadvice find-file (before existing-files-only activate)
216;; "Find existing files only"
217;; (interactive "fFind file: "))
218;;
219;;(defadvice car (around interactive activate)
220;; "Make `car' an interactive function."
221;; (interactive "xCar of list: ")
222;; ad-do-it
223;; (if (interactive-p)
224;; (message "%s" ad-return-value)))

244;; @@ Defining a piece of advice with `defadvice':
245;; ===============================================
246;; The main means of defining a piece of advice is the macro `defadvice',
247;; there is no interactive way of specifying a piece of advice. A call to
248;; `defadvice' has the following syntax which is similar to the syntax of
249;; `defun/defmacro':
250;;
251;; (defadvice <function> (<class> <name> [<position>] [<arglist>] {<flags>}*)
252;; [ [<documentation-string>] [<interactive-form>] ]
253;; {<body-form>}* )
254
255;; <function> is the name of the function/macro/subr to be advised.
256
257;; <class> is the class of the advice which has to be one of `before',
258;; `around', `after', `activation' or `deactivation' (the last two allow
259;; definition of special act/deactivation hooks).
260
6e2f6f45 261;; <name> is the name of the advice which has to be a non-nil symbol.
ee7bf2ad
RM
262;; Names uniquely identify a piece of advice in a certain advice class,
263;; hence, advices can be redefined by defining an advice with the same class
264;; and name. Advice names are global symbols, hence, the same name space
265;; conventions used for function names should be applied.
266
267;; An optional <position> specifies where in the current list of advices of
268;; the specified <class> this new advice will be placed. <position> has to
269;; be either `first', `last' or a number that specifies a zero-based
270;; position (`first' is equivalent to 0). If no position is specified
271;; `first' will be used as a default. If this call to `defadvice' redefines
272;; an already existing advice (see above) then the position argument will
273;; be ignored and the position of the already existing advice will be used.
274
275;; An optional <arglist> which has to be a list can be used to define the
276;; argument list of the advised function. This argument list should of
277;; course be compatible with the argument list of the original function,
278;; otherwise functions that call the advised function with the original
279;; argument list in mind will break. If more than one advice specify an
280;; argument list then the first one (the one with the smallest position)
281;; found in the list of before/around/after advices will be used.
282
283;; <flags> is a list of symbols that specify further information about the
284;; advice. All flags can be specified with unambiguous initial substrings.
285;; `activate': Specifies that the advice information of the advised
286;; function should be activated right after this advice has been
fce44373 287;; defined. In forward advices `activate' will be ignored.
ee7bf2ad
RM
288;; `protect': Specifies that this advice should be protected against
289;; non-local exits and errors in preceding code/advices.
290;; `compile': Specifies that the advised function should be byte-compiled.
291;; This flag will be ignored unless `activate' is also specified.
292;; `disable': Specifies that the defined advice should be disabled, hence,
293;; it will not be used in an activation until somebody enables it.
294;; `preactivate': Specifies that the advised function should get preactivated
295;; at macro-expansion/compile time of this `defadvice'. This
296;; generates a compiled advised definition according to the
297;; current advice state which will be used during activation
298;; if appropriate. Only use this if the `defadvice' gets
299;; actually compiled (with a v18 byte-compiler put the `defadvice'
300;; into the body of a `defun' to accomplish proper compilation).
301
302;; An optional <documentation-string> can be supplied to document the advice.
303;; On call of the `documentation' function it will be combined with the
304;; documentation strings of the original function and other advices.
305
306;; An optional <interactive-form> form can be supplied to change/add
307;; interactive behavior of the original function. If more than one advice
308;; has an `(interactive ...)' specification then the first one (the one
309;; with the smallest position) found in the list of before/around/after
310;; advices will be used.
311
312;; A possibly empty list of <body-forms> specifies the body of the advice in
313;; an implicit progn. The body of an advice can access/change arguments,
fce44373 314;; the return value, the binding environment, and can have all sorts of
ee7bf2ad

317;; @@ Assembling advised definitions:
318;; ==================================
319;; Suppose a function/macro/subr/special-form has N pieces of before advice,
320;; M pieces of around advice and K pieces of after advice. Assuming none of
321;; the advices is protected, its advised definition will look like this

348
349;; <arglist> is either the argument list of the original function or the
350;; first argument list defined in the list of before/around/after advices.
351;; The values of <arglist> variables can be accessed/changed in the body of
352;; an advice by simply referring to them by their original name, however,
353;; more portable argument access macros are also provided (see below). For
354;; subrs/special-forms for which neither explicit argument list definitions
355;; are available, nor their documentation strings contain such definitions
356;; (as they do v19s), `(&rest ad-subr-args)' will be used.
357
358;; <advised-docstring> is an optional, special documentation string which will
359;; be expanded into a proper documentation string upon call of `documentation'.
360
361;; (interactive ...) is an optional interactive form either taken from the
362;; original function or from a before/around/after advice. For advised
363;; interactive subrs that do not have an interactive form specified in any
364;; advice we have to use (interactive) and then call the subr interactively
365;; if the advised function was called interactively, because the
366;; interactive specification of subrs is not accessible. This is the only
367;; case where changing the values of arguments will not have an affect
368;; because they will be reset by the interactive specification of the subr.

391
392;; @@ Argument access in advised functions:
393;; ========================================
394;; As already mentioned, the simplest way to access the arguments of an
395;; advised function in the body of an advice is to refer to them by name. To
396;; do that, the advice programmer needs to know either the names of the
397;; argument variables of the original function, or the names used in the
398;; argument list redefinition given in a piece of advice. While this simple
399;; method might be sufficient in many cases, it has the disadvantage that it
400;; is not very portable because it hardcodes the argument names into the
401;; advice. If the definition of the original function changes the advice
402;; might break even though the code might still be correct. Situations like
403;; that arise, for example, if one advises a subr like `eval-region' which
404;; gets redefined in a non-advice style into a function by the edebug
405;; package. If the advice assumes `eval-region' to be a subr it might break
406;; once edebug is loaded. Similar situations arise when one wants to use the
407;; same piece of advice across different versions of Emacs. Some subrs in a
408;; v18 Emacs are functions in v19 and vice versa, but for the most part the
409;; semantics remain the same, hence, the same piece of advice might be usable
410;; in both Emacs versions.
411
412;; As a solution to that advice provides argument list access macros that get
413;; translated into the proper access forms at activation time, i.e., when the
414;; advised definition gets constructed. Access macros access actual arguments
415;; by position regardless of how these actual argument get distributed onto
416;; the argument variables of a function. The rational behind this is that in
417;; Emacs Lisp the semantics of an argument is strictly determined by its
418;; position (there are no keyword arguments).
419
420;; Suppose the function `foo' is defined as
421;;
422;; (defun foo (x y &optional z &rest r) ....)
423;;
424;; and is then called with
425;;
426;; (foo 0 1 2 3 4 5 6)
427
428;; which means that X=0, Y=1, Z=2 and R=(3 4 5 6). The assumption is that
429;; the semantics of an actual argument is determined by its position. It is
430;; this semantics that has to be known by the advice programmer. Then s/he
431;; can access these arguments in a piece of advice with some of the
432;; following macros (the arrows indicate what value they will return):
433
434;; (ad-get-arg 0) -> 0
435;; (ad-get-arg 1) -> 1
436;; (ad-get-arg 2) -> 2
437;; (ad-get-arg 3) -> 3
438;; (ad-get-args 2) -> (2 3 4 5 6)
439;; (ad-get-args 4) -> (4 5 6)
440
441;; `(ad-get-arg <position>)' will return the actual argument that was supplied
442;; at <position>, `(ad-get-args <position>)' will return the list of actual
443;; arguments supplied starting at <position>. Note that these macros can be
444;; used without any knowledge about the form of the actual argument list of
445;; the original function.
446
447;; Similarly, `(ad-set-arg <position> <value-form>)' can be used to set the
448;; value of the actual argument at <position> to <value-form>. For example,
449;;
450;; (ad-set-arg 5 "five")
451;;
452;; will have the effect that R=(3 4 "five" 6) once the original function is
453;; called. `(ad-set-args <position> <value-list-form>)' can be used to set
454;; the list of actual arguments starting at <position> to <value-list-form>.
455;; For example,
456;;
457;; (ad-set-args 0 '(5 4 3 2 1 0))
458;;
459;; will have the effect that X=5, Y=4, Z=3 and R=(2 1 0) once the original
460;; function is called.
461
462;; All these access macros are text macros rather than real Lisp macros. When
463;; the advised definition gets constructed they get replaced with actual access
464;; forms depending on the argument list of the advised function, i.e., after
465;; that argument access is in most cases as efficient as using the argument
466;; variable names directly.
467
468;; @@@ Accessing argument bindings of arbitrary functions:
469;; =======================================================
470;; Some functions (such as `trace-function' defined in trace.el) need a
471;; method of accessing the names and bindings of the arguments of an
472;; arbitrary advised function. To do that within an advice one can use the
473;; special keyword `ad-arg-bindings' which is a text macro that will be
474;; substituted with a form that will evaluate to a list of binding
475;; specifications, one for every argument variable. These binding
476;; specifications can then be examined in the body of the advice. For
477;; example, somewhere in an advice we could do this:
478;;
479;; (let* ((bindings ad-arg-bindings)
480;; (firstarg (car bindings))
481;; (secondarg (car (cdr bindings))))
482;; ;; Print info about first argument
483;; (print (format "%s=%s (%s)"
484;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'name)
485;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'value)
486;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'type)))
487;; ....)
488;;
489;; The `type' of an argument is either `required', `optional' or `rest'.
490;; Wherever `ad-arg-bindings' appears a form will be inserted that evaluates
491;; to the list of bindings, hence, in order to avoid multiple unnecessary
492;; evaluations one should always bind it to some variable.
493
494;; @@@ Argument list mapping:
495;; ==========================
496;; Because `defadvice' allows the specification of the argument list of the
497;; advised function we need a mapping mechanism that maps this argument list
498;; onto that of the original function. For example, somebody might specify
499;; `(sym newdef)' as the argument list of `fset', while advice might use
500;; `(&rest ad-subr-args)' as the argument list of the original function
501;; (depending on what Emacs version is used). Hence SYM and NEWDEF have to
502;; be properly mapped onto the &rest variable when the original definition is
fce44373 503;; called. Advice automatically takes care of that mapping, hence, the advice
ee7bf2ad
RM
504;; programmer can specify an argument list without having to know about the
505;; exact structure of the original argument list as long as the new argument
506;; list takes a compatible number/magnitude of actual arguments.
507
508;; @@@ Definition of subr argument lists:
509;; ======================================
510;; When advice constructs the advised definition of a function it has to
511;; know the argument list of the original function. For functions and macros
512;; the argument list can be determined from the actual definition, however,
513;; for subrs there is no such direct access available. In Lemacs and for some
6e2f6f45 514;; subrs in Emacs-19 the argument list of a subr can be determined from
ee7bf2ad
RM
515;; its documentation string, in a v18 Emacs even that is not possible. If
516;; advice cannot at all determine the argument list of a subr it uses
517;; `(&rest ad-subr-args)' which will always work but is inefficient because
518;; it conses up arguments. The macro `ad-define-subr-args' can be used by
519;; the advice programmer to explicitly tell advice about the argument list
520;; of a certain subr, for example,
521;;
522;; (ad-define-subr-args 'fset '(sym newdef))
523;;
524;; is used by advice itself to tell a v18 Emacs about the arguments of `fset'.
525;; The following can be used to undo such a definition:
526;;
527;; (ad-undefine-subr-args 'fset)
528;;
529;; The argument list definition is stored on the property list of the subr
530;; name symbol. When an argument list could be determined from the
531;; documentation string it will be cached under that property. The general
532;; mechanism for looking up the argument list of a subr is the following:
533;; 1) look for a definition stored on the property list
534;; 2) if that failed try to infer it from the documentation string and
535;; if successful cache it on the property list
536;; 3) otherwise use `(&rest ad-subr-args)'
537
538;; @@ Activation and deactivation:
539;; ===============================
540;; The definition of an advised function does not change until all its advice
541;; gets actually activated. Activation can either happen with the `activate'
542;; flag specified in the `defadvice', with an explicit call or interactive
543;; invocation of `ad-activate', or if forward advice is enabled (i.e., the
544;; value of `ad-activate-on-definition' is t) at the time an already advised
545;; function gets defined.
546
547;; When a function gets first activated its original definition gets saved,
548;; all defined and enabled pieces of advice will get combined with the
549;; original definition, the resulting definition might get compiled depending
550;; on some conditions described below, and then the function will get
551;; redefined with the advised definition. This also means that undefined
552;; functions cannot get activated even though they might be already advised.
553
554;; The advised definition will get compiled either if `ad-activate' was called

561
562;; `ad-deactivate' can be used to back-define an advised function to its

579;; @@@ Reasons for the separation of advice definition and activation:
580;; ===================================================================
581;; As already mentioned, advising happens in two stages:
582
583;; 1) definition of various pieces of advice
584;; 2) activation of all advice currently defined and enabled
585
586;; The advantage of this is that various pieces of advice can be defined
587;; before they get combined into an advised definition which avoids
588;; unnecessary constructions of intermediate advised definitions. The more
589;; important advantage is that it allows the implementation of forward advice.
590;; Advice information for a certain function accumulates as the value of the
591;; `advice-info' property of the function symbol. This accumulation is
592;; completely independent of the fact that that function might not yet be
593;; defined. The special forms `defun' and `defmacro' have been advised to
594;; check whether the function/macro they defined had advice information
595;; associated with it. If so and forward advice is enabled, the original
596;; definition will be saved, and then the advice will be activated. When a
597;; file is loaded in a v18 Emacs the functions/macros it defines are also
598;; defined with calls to `defun/defmacro'. Hence, we can forward advise
599;; functions/macros which will be defined later during a load/autoload of some
600;; file (for compiled files generated by jwz's byte-compiler in a v19 Emacs
601;; this is slightly more complicated but the basic idea is the same).
602
603;; @@ Enabling/disabling pieces or sets of advice:
604;; ===============================================
605;; A major motivation for the development of this advice package was to bring
606;; a little bit more structure into the function overloading chaos in Emacs
607;; Lisp. Many packages achieve some of their functionality by adding a little
608;; bit (or a lot) to the standard functionality of some Emacs Lisp function.
609;; ange-ftp is a very popular package that achieves its magic by overloading
610;; most Emacs Lisp functions that deal with files. A popular function that's
611;; overloaded by many packages is `expand-file-name'. The situation that one
612;; function is multiply overloaded can arise easily.
613
614;; Once in a while it would be desirable to be able to disable some/all
615;; overloads of a particular package while keeping all the rest. Ideally -
616;; at least in my opinion - these overloads would all be done with advice,
617;; I know I am dreaming right now... In that ideal case the enable/disable
618;; mechanism of advice could be used to achieve just that.
619
620;; Every piece of advice is associated with an enablement flag. When the
621;; advised definition of a particular function gets constructed (e.g., during
622;; activation) only the currently enabled pieces of advice will be considered.
623;; This mechanism allows one to have different "views" of an advised function
624;; dependent on what pieces of advice are currently enabled.
625
626;; Another motivation for this mechanism is that it allows one to define a
627;; piece of advice for some function yet keep it dormant until a certain
628;; condition is met. Until then activation of the function will not make use
629;; of that piece of advice. Once the condition is met the advice can be
630;; enabled and a reactivation of the function will add its functionality as
631;; part of the new advised definition. For example, the advices of `defun'
632;; etc. used by advice itself will stay disabled until `ad-start-advice' is
633;; called and some variables have the proper values. Hence, if somebody
634;; else advised these functions too and activates them the advices defined
635;; by advice will get used only if they are intended to be used.
636
637;; The main interface to this mechanism are the interactive functions
638;; `ad-enable-advice' and `ad-disable-advice'. For example, the following
639;; would disable a particular advice of the function `foo':
640;;
641;; (ad-disable-advice 'foo 'before 'my-advice)
642;;
643;; This call by itself only changes the flag, to get the proper effect in
644;; the advised definition too one has to activate `foo' with
645;;
646;; (ad-activate 'foo)
647;;
648;; or interactively. To disable whole sets of advices one can use a regular
649;; expression mechanism. For example, let us assume that ange-ftp actually
650;; used advice to overload all its functions, and that it used the
651;; "ange-ftp-" prefix for all its advice names, then we could temporarily
652;; disable all its advices with
653;;
654;; (ad-disable-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
655;;
656;; and the following call would put that actually into effect:
657;;
658;; (ad-activate-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
659;;
660;; A saver way would have been to use
661;;
662;; (ad-update-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
663;;
664;; instead which would have only reactivated currently actively advised
665;; functions, but not functions that were currently deactivated. All these
666;; functions can also be called interactively.
667
668;; A certain piece of advice is considered a match if its name contains a
669;; match for the regular expression. To enable ange-ftp again we would use
670;; `ad-enable-regexp' and then activate or update again.

719;; =================
720;; Constructing an advised definition is moderately expensive. In a situation
721;; where one package defines a lot of advised functions it might be
722;; prohibitively expensive to do all the advised definition construction at
723;; runtime. Preactivation is a mechanism that allows compile-time construction
724;; of compiled advised definitions that can be activated cheaply during
725;; runtime. Preactivation uses the caching mechanism to do that. Here's how it
726;; works:
727
728;; When the byte-compiler compiles a `defadvice' that has the `preactivate'
729;; flag specified, it uses the current original definition of the advised
730;; function plus the advice specified in this `defadvice' (even if it is
731;; specified as disabled) and all other currently enabled pieces of advice to
732;; construct an advised definition and an identifying cache-id and makes them
733;; part of the `defadvice' expansion which will then be compiled by the
734;; byte-compiler (to ensure that in a v18 emacs you have to put the
735;; `defadvice' inside a `defun' to get it compiled and then you have to call
736;; that compiled `defun' in order to actually execute the `defadvice'). When
737;; the file with the compiled, preactivating `defadvice' gets loaded the
738;; precompiled advised definition will be cached on the advised function's
739;; advice-info. When it gets activated (can be immediately on execution of the
740;; `defadvice' or any time later) the cache-id gets checked against the
741;; current state of advice and if it is verified the precompiled definition
742;; will be used directly (the verification is pretty cheap). If it couldn't get
743;; verified a new advised definition for that function will be built from
744;; scratch, hence, the efficiency added by the preactivation mechanism does
745;; not at all impair the flexibility of the advice mechanism.
746
747;; MORAL: In order get all the efficiency out of preactivation the advice
748;; state of an advised function at the time the file with the
749;; preactivating `defadvice' gets byte-compiled should be exactly
750;; the same as it will be when the advice of that function gets
751;; actually activated. If it is not there is a high chance that the
752;; cache-id will not match and hence a new advised definition will
753;; have to be constructed at runtime.
754
755;; Preactivation and forward advice do not contradict each other. It is
756;; perfectly ok to load a file with a preactivating `defadvice' before the
757;; original definition of the advised function is available. The constructed
758;; advised definition will be used once the original function gets defined and
759;; its advice gets activated. The only constraint is that at the time the
760;; file with the preactivating `defadvice' got compiled the original function
761;; definition was available.
762
763;; TIPS: Here are some indications that a preactivation did not work the way
764;; you intended it to work:
765;; - Activation of the advised function takes longer than usual/expected
766;; - The byte-compiler gets loaded while an advised function gets
767;; activated
768;; - `byte-compile' is part of the `features' variable even though you
769;; did not use the byte-compiler
770;; Right now advice does not provide an elegant way to find out whether
771;; and why a preactivation failed. What you can do is to trace the
772;; function `ad-cache-id-verification-code' (with the function
773;; `trace-function-background' defined in my trace.el package) before
774;; any of your advised functions get activated. After they got
775;; activated check whether all calls to `ad-cache-id-verification-code'
776;; returned `verified' as a result. Other values indicate why the
777;; verification failed which should give you enough information to

960;; specifiers and a list of body forms as arguments. The first element of
961;; the advice specifiers is the class of the advice, the second is its name,
962;; the third its position and the rest are some flags. The class of our
963;; first advice is `before', its name is `fg-add2', its position among the
964;; currently defined before advices (none so far) is `first', and the advice
965;; will be `activate'ed immediately. Advice names are global symbols, hence,

971;; In the body of an advice we can refer to the argument variables of the

1444;; `defadvice' inside a `defun' because the v18 compiler does not compile
1445;; top-level forms other than `defun' or `defmacro', for example,
1446;;
1447;; (defun fg-defadvice-fum ()

1467;; (ad-compile-function 'fg-defadvice-fum)

1505;; (interactive "nEnter x: "))
1506;; fum
1507;;
1508;; When we now try to use a preactivation it will not be used because the

1524;; MORAL: To get all the efficiency out of preactivation the function
1525;; definition and advice state at preactivation time must be the same as the
1526;; state at activation time. Preactivation does work with forward advice, all
1527;; that's necessary is that the definition of the forward advised function is

1530;; @@ Portable argument access:
1531;; ============================
1532;; So far, we always used the actual argument variable names to access an
1533;; argument in a piece of advice. For many advice applications this is
1534;; perfectly ok and keeps advices simple. However, it decreases portability
1535;; of advices because it assumes specific argument variable names. For example,
1536;; if one advises a subr such as `eval-region' which then gets redefined by
1537;; some package (e.g., edebug) into a function with different argument names,
1538;; then a piece of advice written for `eval-region' that was written with
1539;; the subr arguments in mind will break. Similar situations arise when one
1540;; switches between major Emacs versions, e.g., certain subrs in v18 are
1541;; functions in v19 and vice versa. Also, in v19s subr argument lists
1542;; are available and will be used, while they are not available in v18.
1543;;
1544;; Argument access text macros allow one to access arguments of an advised
1545;; function in a portable way without having to worry about all these
1546;; possibilities. These macros will be translated into the proper access forms

1573;; will still work because we used access macros (note, that automatic

1700;; when the arguments were determined by an interactive call to the subr.
1701;; Advice cannot determine what `interactive' form determines the interactive
1702;; behavior of the subr, hence, when it calls the original definition in an
1703;; interactive subr invocation it has to use `call-interactively' to generate
1704;; the proper interactive behavior. Thus up to that call the arguments of the

1730;; of pieces of advice will occur during macro expansion. To also affect
1731;; the behavior during evaluation time one has to change the value of

2697;; ====================================
2698;;
2699;; Main design decisions about the form of advised definitions:
2700;;
2701;; A) How will original definitions be called?
2702;; B) What will argument lists of advised functions look like?
2703;;
2704;; Ad A)
2705;; I chose to use function indirection for all four types of original
2706;; definitions (functions, macros, subrs and special forms), i.e., create
2707;; a unique symbol `ad-Orig-<name>' which is fbound to the original
6e2f6f45 2708;; definition and call it according to type and arguments. Functions and
ee7bf2ad 2709;; subrs that don't have any &rest arguments can be called directly in a
6e2f6f45 2710;; `(ad-Orig-<name> ....)' form. If they have a &rest argument we have to
fce44373 2711;; use `apply'. Macros will be called with
ee7bf2ad
RM
2712;; `(macroexpand '(ad-Orig-<name> ....))', and special forms also need a
2713;; form like that with `eval' instead of `macroexpand'.
2714;;
2715;; Ad B)
2716;; Use original arguments where possible and `(&rest ad-subr-args)'
2717;; otherwise, even though this seems to be more complicated and less
2718;; uniform than a general `(&rest args)' approach. My reason to still
2719;; do it that way is that in most cases my approach leads to the more
2720;; efficient form for the advised function, and portability (e.g., to
2721;; make the same advice work regardless of whether something is a
2722;; function or a subr) can still be achieved with argument access macros.

3204;; ===========
3205;; Generating an advised definition of a function is moderately expensive,
3206;; hence, it makes sense to cache it so we can reuse it in appropriate
3207;; circumstances. Of course, it only makes sense to reuse a cached
3208;; definition if the current advice and function definition state is the
3209;; same as it was at the time when the cached definition was generated.
3210;; For that purpose we associate every cache with an id so we can verify
6e2f6f45 3211;; if it is still valid at a certain point in time. This id mechanism
ee7bf2ad
RM
3212;; makes it possible to preactivate advised functions, write the compiled
3213;; advised definitions to a file and reuse them during the actual
3214;; activation without having to risk that the resulting definition will be
3215;; incorrect, well, almost.
3216;;
3217;; A cache id is a list with six elements:
3218;; 1) the list of names of enabled before advices
3219;; 2) the list of names of enabled around advices
3220;; 3) the list of names of enabled after advices
3221;; 4) the type of the original function (macro, subr, etc.)
3222;; 5) the arglist of the original definition (or t if it was equal to the
3223;; arglist of the cached definition)
3224;; 6) t if the interactive form of the original definition was equal to the
3225;; interactive form of the cached definition
3226;;
3227;; Here's how a cache can get invalidated or be incorrect:
3228;; A) a piece of advice used in the cache gets redefined
3229;; B) the current list of enabled advices is different from the ones used
3230;; for the cache
3231;; C) the type of the original function changed, e.g., a function became a
3232;; macro, or a subr became a function
3233;; D) the arglist of the original function changed
3234;; E) the interactive form of the original function changed
3235;; F) a piece of advice used in the cache got redefined before the
3236;; defadvice with the cached definition got loaded: This is a PROBLEM!
3237;;
6e2f6f45 3238;; Cases A and B are the normal ones. A is taken care of by `ad-add-advice'
ee7bf2ad
RM
3239;; which clears the cache in such a case, B is easily checked during
3240;; verification at activation time.
3241;;
3242;; Cases C, D and E have to be considered if one is slightly paranoid, i.e.,
3243;; if one considers the case that the original function could be different
3244;; from the one available at caching time (e.g., for forward advice of
3245;; functions that get redefined by some packages - such as `eval-region' gets
6e2f6f45
RS
3246;; redefined by edebug). All these cases can be easily checked during
3247;; verification. Element 4 of the id lets one check case C, element 5 takes
ee7bf2ad
RM
3248;; care of case D (using t in the equality case saves some space, because the
3249;; arglist can be recovered at validation time from the cached definition),
3250;; and element 6 takes care of case E which is only a problem if the original
3251;; was actually a function whose interactive form was not overridden by a
3252;; piece of advice.
3253;;
3254;; Case F is the only one which will lead to an incorrect advised function.
3255;; There is no way to avoid this without storing the complete advice definition
3256;; in the cache-id which is not feasible.
3257;;
3258;; The cache-id of a typical advised function with one piece of advice and

6e2f6f45 3260;; the added efficiency. The validation itself is also pretty cheap, certainly
