;;; Commentary:

;; The functions which have docstring documentation can be considered
;; part of an API which other packages can use in CC Mode buffers.
;; Otoh, undocumented functions and functions with the documentation
;; in comments are considered purely internal and can change semantics
;; or even disappear in the future.
;;
;; (This policy applies to CC Mode as a whole, not just this file.  It
;; probably also applies to many other Emacs packages, but here it's
;; clearly spelled out.)

;; Hidden buffer changes
;;
;; Various functions in CC Mode use text properties for caching and
;; syntactic markup purposes, and those of them that might modify such
;; properties but still don't modify the buffer in a visible way are
;; said to do "hidden buffer changes".  They should be used within
;; `c-save-buffer-state' or a similar function that saves and restores
;; buffer modifiedness, disables buffer change hooks, etc.
;;
;; Interactive functions are assumed to not do hidden buffer changes,
;; except in the specific parts of them that do real changes.
;;
;; Lineup functions are assumed to do hidden buffer changes.  They
;; must not do real changes, though.
;;
;; All other functions that do hidden buffer changes have that noted
;; in their doc string or comment.
;;
;; The intention with this system is to avoid wrapping every leaf
;; function that do hidden buffer changes inside
;; `c-save-buffer-state'.  It should be used as near the top of the
;; interactive functions as possible.
;;
;; Functions called during font locking are allowed to do hidden
;; buffer changes since the font-lock package run them in a context
;; similar to `c-save-buffer-state' (in fact, that function is heavily
;; inspired by `save-buffer-state' in the font-lock package).

;; Use of text properties
;;
;; CC Mode uses several text properties internally to mark up various
;; positions, e.g. to improve speed and to eliminate glitches in
;; interactive refontification.
;;
;; Note: This doc is for internal use only.  Other packages should not
;; assume that these text properties are used as described here.
;;
;; 'category
;;   Used for "indirection".  With its help, some other property can
;;   be cheaply and easily switched on or off everywhere it occurs.
;;
;; 'syntax-table
;;   Used to modify the syntax of some characters.  It is used to
;;   mark the "<" and ">" of angle bracket parens with paren syntax, and
;;   to "hide" obtrusive characters in preprocessor lines.
;;
;;   This property is used on single characters and is therefore
;;   always treated as front and rear nonsticky (or start and end open
;;   in XEmacs vocabulary).  It's therefore installed on
;;   `text-property-default-nonsticky' if that variable exists (Emacs
;;   >= 21).
;;
;; 'c-is-sws and 'c-in-sws
;;   Used by `c-forward-syntactic-ws' and `c-backward-syntactic-ws' to
;;   speed them up.  See the comment blurb before `c-put-is-sws'
;;   below for further details.
;;
;; 'c-type
;;   This property is used on single characters to mark positions with
;;   special syntactic relevance of various sorts.  Its primary use is
;;   to avoid glitches when multiline constructs are refontified
;;   interactively (on font lock decoration level 3).  It's cleared in
;;   a region before it's fontified and is then put on relevant chars
;;   in that region as they are encountered during the fontification.
;;   The value specifies the kind of position:
;;
;;     'c-decl-arg-start
;;       Put on the last char of the token preceding each declaration
;;       inside a declaration style arglist (typically in a function
;;       prototype).
;;
;;     'c-decl-end
;;       Put on the last char of the token preceding a declaration.
;;       This is used in cases where declaration boundaries can't be
;;       recognized simply by looking for a token like ";" or "}".
;;       `c-type-decl-end-used' must be set if this is used (see also
;;       `c-find-decl-spots').
;;
;;     'c-<>-arg-sep
;;       Put on the commas that separate arguments in angle bracket
;;       arglists like C++ template arglists.
;;
;;     'c-decl-id-start and 'c-decl-type-start
;;       Put on the last char of the token preceding each declarator
;;       in the declarator list of a declaration.  They are also used
;;       between the identifiers cases like enum declarations.
;;       'c-decl-type-start is used when the declarators are types,
;;       'c-decl-id-start otherwise.
;;
;; 'c-awk-NL-prop
;;   Used in AWK mode to mark the various kinds of newlines.  See
;;   cc-awk.el.

  "Move to the start of the current statement or declaration, or to
the previous one if already at the beginning of one.  Only
statements/declarations on the same level are considered, i.e. don't
move into or out of sexps (not even normal expression parentheses).

If point is already at the earliest statement within braces or parens,
this function doesn't move back into any whitespace preceding it; it
returns 'same in this case.

Stop at statement continuation tokens like \"else\", \"catch\",
\"finally\" and the \"while\" in \"do ... while\" if the start point
is within the continuation.  If starting at such a token, move to the
corresponding statement start.  If at the beginning of a statement,
move to the closest containing statement if there is any.  This might
also stop at a continuation clause.

Labels are treated as part of the following statements if
IGNORE-LABELS is non-nil.  (FIXME: Doesn't work if we stop at a known
statement start keyword.)  Otherwise, each label is treated as a
separate statement.

Macros are ignored \(i.e. skipped over) unless point is within one, in
which case the content of the macro is treated as normal code.  Aside
from any normal statement starts found in it, stop at the first token
of the content in the macro, i.e. the expression of an \"#if\" or the
start of the definition in a \"#define\".  Also stop at start of
macros before leaving them.

Return:
'label          if stopped at a label or \"case...:\" or \"default:\";
'same           if stopped at the beginning of the current statement;
'up             if stepped to a containing statement;
'previous       if stepped to a preceding statement;
'beginning      if stepped from a statement continuation clause to
                its start clause; or
'macro          if stepped to a macro start.
Note that 'same and not 'label is returned if stopped at the same
label without crossing the colon character.

LIM may be given to limit the search.  If the search hits the limit,
point will be left at the closest following token, or at the start
position if that is less ('same is returned in this case).

NOERROR turns off error logging to `c-parsing-error'.

Normally only ';' and virtual semicolons are considered to delimit
statements, but if COMMA-DELIM is non-nil then ',' is treated
as a delimiter too.

Note that this function might do hidden buffer changes.  See the
comment at the start of cc-engine.el for more info."

  ;; The bulk of this function is a pushdown automaton that looks at statement
  ;; boundaries and the tokens (such as "while") in c-opt-block-stmt-key.  Its
  ;; purpose is to keep track of nested statements, ensuring that such
  ;; statements are skipped over in their entirety (somewhat akin to what C-M-p
  ;; does with nested braces/brackets/parentheses).
  ;;
  ;; Note: The position of a boundary is the following token.
  ;;
  ;; Beginning with the current token (the one following point), move back one
  ;; sexp at a time (where a sexp is, more or less, either a token or the
  ;; entire contents of a brace/bracket/paren pair).  Each time a statement
  ;; boundary is crossed or a "while"-like token is found, update the state of
  ;; the PDA.  Stop at the beginning of a statement when the stack (holding
  ;; nested statement info) is empty and the position has been moved.
  ;;
  ;; The following variables constitute the PDA:
  ;;
  ;; sym:    This is either the "while"-like token (e.g. 'for) we've just
  ;;         scanned back over, 'boundary if we've just gone back over a
  ;;         statement boundary, or nil otherwise.
  ;; state:  takes one of the values (nil else else-boundary while
  ;;         while-boundary catch catch-boundary).
  ;;         nil means "no "while"-like token yet scanned".
  ;;         'else, for example, means "just gone back over an else".
  ;;         'else-boundary means "just gone back over a statement boundary
  ;;         immediately after having gone back over an else".
  ;; saved-pos: A vector of either saved positions (tok ptok pptok, etc.) or
  ;;         of error reporting information.
  ;; stack:  The stack onto which the PDA pushes its state.  Each entry
  ;;         consists of a saved value of state and saved-pos.  An entry is
  ;;         pushed when we move back over a "continuation" token (e.g. else)
  ;;         and popped when we encounter the corresponding opening token
  ;;         (e.g. if).
  ;;
  ;;
  ;; The following diagram briefly outlines the PDA.
  ;;
  ;; Common state:
  ;;   "else": Push state, goto state `else'.
  ;;   "while": Push state, goto state `while'.
  ;;   "catch" or "finally": Push state, goto state `catch'.
  ;;   boundary: Pop state.
  ;;   other: Do nothing special.
  ;;
  ;; State `else':
  ;;   boundary: Goto state `else-boundary'.
  ;;   other: Error, pop state, retry token.
  ;;
  ;; State `else-boundary':
  ;;   "if": Pop state.
  ;;   boundary: Error, pop state.
  ;;   other: See common state.
  ;;
  ;; State `while':
  ;;   boundary: Save position, goto state `while-boundary'.
  ;;   other: Pop state, retry token.
  ;;
  ;; State `while-boundary':
  ;;   "do": Pop state.
  ;;   boundary: Restore position if it's not at start, pop state. [*see below]
  ;;   other: See common state.
  ;;
  ;; State `catch':
  ;;   boundary: Goto state `catch-boundary'.
  ;;   other: Error, pop state, retry token.
  ;;
  ;; State `catch-boundary':
  ;;   "try": Pop state.
  ;;   "catch": Goto state `catch'.
  ;;   boundary: Error, pop state.
  ;;   other: See common state.
  ;;
  ;; [*] In the `while-boundary' state, we had pushed a 'while state, and were
  ;; searching for a "do" which would have opened a do-while.  If we didn't
  ;; find it, we discard the analysis done since the "while", go back to this
  ;; token in the buffer and restart the scanning there, this time WITHOUT
  ;; pushing the 'while state onto the stack.
  ;;
  ;; In addition to the above there is some special handling of labels

;; Tools for skipping over syntactic whitespace.

;; The following functions use text properties to cache searches over
;; large regions of syntactic whitespace.  It works as follows:
;;
;; o  If a syntactic whitespace region contains anything but simple
;;    whitespace (i.e. space, tab and line breaks), the text property
;;    `c-in-sws' is put over it.  At places where we have stopped
;;    within that region there's also a `c-is-sws' text property.
;;    That since there typically are nested whitespace inside that
;;    must be handled separately, e.g. whitespace inside a comment or
;;    cpp directive.  Thus, from one point with `c-is-sws' it's safe
;;    to jump to another point with that property within the same
;;    `c-in-sws' region.  It can be likened to a ladder where
;;    `c-in-sws' marks the bars and `c-is-sws' the rungs.
;;
;; o  The `c-is-sws' property is put on the simple whitespace chars at
;;    a "rung position" and also maybe on the first following char.
;;    As many characters as can be conveniently found in this range
;;    are marked, but no assumption can be made that the whole range
;;    is marked (it could be clobbered by later changes, for
;;    instance).
;;
;;    Note that some part of the beginning of a sequence of simple
;;    whitespace might be part of the end of a preceding line comment
;;    or cpp directive and must not be considered part of the "rung".
;;    Such whitespace is some amount of horizontal whitespace followed
;;    by a newline.  In the case of cpp directives it could also be
;;    two newlines with horizontal whitespace between them.
;;
;;    The reason to include the first following char is to cope with
;;    "rung positions" that doesn't have any ordinary whitespace.  If
;;    `c-is-sws' is put on a token character it does not have
;;    `c-in-sws' set simultaneously.  That's the only case when that
;;    can occur, and the reason for not extending the `c-in-sws'
;;    region to cover it is that the `c-in-sws' region could then be
;;    accidentally merged with a following one if the token is only
;;    one character long.
;;
;; o  On buffer changes the `c-in-sws' and `c-is-sws' properties are
;;    removed in the changed region.  If the change was inside
;;    syntactic whitespace that means that the "ladder" is broken, but
;;    a later call to `c-forward-sws' or `c-backward-sws' will use the
;;    parts on either side and use an ordinary search only to "repair"
;;    the gap.
;;
;;    Special care needs to be taken if a region is removed: If there
;;    are `c-in-sws' on both sides of it which do not connect inside
;;    the region then they can't be joined.  If e.g. a marked macro is
;;    broken, syntactic whitespace inside the new text might be
;;    marked.  If those marks would become connected with the old
;;    `c-in-sws' range around the macro then we could get a ladder
;;    with one end outside the macro and the other at some whitespace
;;    within it.
;;
;; The main motivation for this system is to increase the speed in
;; skipping over the large whitespace regions that can occur at the
;; top level in e.g. header files that contain a lot of comments and
;; cpp directives.  For small comments inside code it's probably
;; slower than using `forward-comment' straightforwardly, but speed is
;; not a significant factor there anyway.

  ;; The returned value is a list of the noteworthy parens with the last one

  ;; has no matching open brace (e.g., the matching brace is outside the

  "Move forward by tokens.
A token is defined as all symbols and identifiers which aren't
syntactic whitespace \(note that multicharacter tokens like \"==\" are
treated properly).  Point is always either left at the beginning of a
token or not moved at all.  COUNT specifies the number of tokens to
move; a negative COUNT moves in the opposite direction.  A COUNT of 0
moves to the next token beginning only if not already at one.  If
BALANCED is true, move over balanced parens, otherwise move into them.
Also, if BALANCED is true, never move out of an enclosing paren.

LIMIT sets the limit for the movement and defaults to the point limit.
The case when LIMIT is set in the middle of a token, comment or macro
is handled correctly, i.e. the point won't be left there.

Return the number of tokens left to move \(positive or negative).  If
BALANCED is true, a move over a balanced paren counts as one.  Note
that if COUNT is 0 and no appropriate token beginning is found, 1 will
be returned.  Thus, a return value of 0 guarantees that point is at
the requested position and a return value less \(without signs) than
COUNT guarantees that point is at the beginning of some token.

in syntactically significant text.  I.e. matches in comments, macros
or string literals are ignored.  The start point is assumed to be
outside any comment, macro or string literal, or else the content of
that region is taken as syntactically significant text.

If PAREN-LEVEL is non-nil, an additional restriction is added to
ignore matches in nested paren sexps.  The search will also not go
outside the current list sexp, which has the effect that if the point
should be moved to BOUND when no match is found \(i.e. NOERROR is
neither nil nor t), then it will be at the closing paren if the end of
the current list sexp is encountered first.

If NOT-INSIDE-TOKEN is non-nil, matches in the middle of tokens are
ignored.  Things like multicharacter operators and special symbols
\(e.g. \"`()\" in Pike) are handled but currently not floating point
constants.

If LOOKBEHIND-SUBMATCH is non-nil, it's taken as a number of a
subexpression in REGEXP.  The end of that submatch is used as the
position to check for syntactic significance.  If LOOKBEHIND-SUBMATCH
isn't used or if that subexpression didn't match then the start
position of the whole match is used instead.  The \"look behind\"
subexpression is never tested before the starting position, so it
might be a good idea to include \\=\\= as a match alternative in it.

Optimization note: Matches might be missed if the \"look behind\"
subexpression can match the end of nonwhite syntactic whitespace,
i.e. the end of comments or cpp directives.  This since the function
skips over such things before resuming the search.  It's on the other
hand not safe to assume that the \"look behind\" subexpression never
matches syntactic whitespace.

Bug: Unbalanced parens inside cpp directives are currently not handled
correctly \(i.e. they don't get ignored as they should) when
PAREN-LEVEL is set.

Note that this function might do hidden buffer changes.  See the
comment at the start of cc-engine.el for more info."

;; recognizing types, not telling distinct types apart).  Note that
;; template types in references are added here too; from the example
;; above there will also be an entry "Foo<".

;; be delimiters, they are marked as such with the category properties
;; c-<-as-paren-syntax, c->-as-paren-syntax respectively.

;; STRATEGY:
;;
;; It is impossible to determine with certainty whether a <..> pair in
;; C++ is two comparison operators or is template delimiters, unless
;; one duplicates a lot of a C++ compiler.  For example, the following
;; code fragment:
;;
;;     foo (a < b, c > d) ;
;;
;; could be a function call with two integer parameters (each a
;; relational expression), or it could be a constructor for class foo
;; taking one parameter d of templated type "a < b, c >".  They are
;; somewhat easier to distinguish in Java.
;;
;; The strategy now (2010-01) adopted is to mark and unmark < and
;; > IN MATCHING PAIRS ONLY.  [Previously, they were marked
;; individually when their context so indicated.  This gave rise to
;; intractable problems when one of a matching pair was deleted, or
;; pulled into a literal.]

;; before-change function and reapplied, when needed, in an
