annotate BUGS @ 72917:17942cb3949e

(allout-regexp, allout-line-boundary-regexp) (allout-bob-regexp): Correct grouping and boundaries to fix backwards traversal. (allout-depth-specific-regexp, allout-depth-one-regexp): New versions that exploit \\{M\\} regexp syntax, to avoid geometric or worse time in allout-ascend. (allout-doublecheck-at-and-shallower): Identify depth threshold below which topics are checked for and disqualified by containment discontinuities. (allout-hotspot-key-handler): Correctly handle multiple-key strokes. Remove some unused variables. (allout-mode-leaders): Clarify that mode-specific comment-start will be used (set-allout-regexp): Correctly regexp-quote allout regexps to properly accept alternative header-leads and primary bullets with regexp-specific characters (eg, C "/*", mathematica "(*"). Include new regular expressions among those configured. (allout-infer-header-lead-and-primary-bullet): Rename allout-infer-header-lead. (allout-recent-depth): Manifest as a variable as well as a function. (allout-prefix-data): Simplify into an inline instead of a macro, assuming current match data rather than being explicitly passed it. Establish allout-recent-depth value as well as allout-recent-prefix-beginning and allout-recent-prefix-end. (allout-aberrant-container-p): True when an item's immediate offspring discontinuously contained. Useful for disqualifying unintended topic prefixes, likely at low depths. (allout-goto-prefix-doublechecked): Elaborated version of allout-goto-prefix which disqualifies aberrant pseudo-items. (allout-pre-next-prefix): Layer on top of lower-level routines, to get disqualification of aberrant containers. (allout-end-of-prefix, allout-end-of-subtree): Disqualify aberrant containers. (allout-beginning-of-current-entry): Position at start of buffer when in container (depth 0) entry. (nullify-allout-prefix-data): Invalidate allout-recent-* prefix data. (allout-current-bullet): Strip text properties. (allout-get-prefix-bullet): Use right match groups. (allout-beginning-of-line, allout-next-heading): Disqualify aberrant containers. (allout-previous-heading): Disqualify aberrant containers, and change to regular (rather than inline) function, to allow self-recursion. (allout-get-invisibility-overlay): Increment so progress is made when the first overlay is not the sought one. (allout-end-of-prefix): Disqualify aberrant containers. (allout-end-of-line): Cycle something like allout-beginning-of-line. (allout-mode): Make allout-old-style-prefixes (ie, enabling use with outline.el outlines) functional again. Change the primary bullet along with the header-lead - level 1 new-style bullets now work. Engage allout-before-change-handler in mainline emacs, not just xemacs, to do undo handling. (allout-before-change-handler): Expose undo changes occurring in hidden regions. Use allout-get-invisibility-overlay instead of reimplementing it inline. (allout-chart-subtree): Use start rather than end of prefix in charts. Use allout-recent-depth variable. (allout-chart-siblings): Disqualify aberrant topics. (allout-beginning-of-current-entry): Position correctly. (allout-ascend): Use new allout-depth-specific-regexp and allout-depth-one-regexp for linear instead of O(N^2) or worse behavior. (allout-ascend-to-depth): Depend on allout-ascend, rather than reimplementing an algorithm. (allout-up-current-level): Depend on allout-ascend, rather than reimplementing an algorithm. Return to start-point if we fail. (allout-descend-to-depth): Use allout-recent-depth variable instead of function. (allout-next-sibling): On traversal of numerous intervening topics, resort to economical allout-next-sibling-leap. (allout-next-sibling-leap): Specialized version of allout-next-sibling that uses allout-ascend cleverly, to depend on a regexp search to leap large numbers of contained topics, rather than arbitrarily many one-by-one traversals. (allout-next-visible-heading): Disqualify aberrant topics. (allout-previous-visible-heading): Position consistently when interactive. (allout-forward-current-level): Base on allout-previous-sibling rather than (differently) reimplmenting the algorithm. Remove some unused variables. (allout-solicit-alternate-bullet): Present default choice stripped of text properties. (allout-rebullet-heading): Use bullet stripped of text properties. Register changes using allout-exposure-change-hook. Disregard aberrant topics. (allout-shift-in): With universal-argument, make topic a peer of it's former offspring. Simplify the code by separating out allout-shift-out functionality. (allout-shift-out): With universal-argument, make offspring peers of their former container, and its siblings. Implement the functionality here, rather than inappropriately muddling the implementation of allout-shift-in. (allout-rebullet-topic): Respect additional argument for new parent-child separation function. (allout-yank-processing): Use allout-ascend directly. (allout-show-entry): Disqualify aberrant topics. (allout-show-children): Handle discontinuous children gracefully, extending the depth being revealed to expose them and posting a message indicating the situation. (allout-show-to-offshoot): Remove obsolete and incorrect comment. Leave cursor in correct position. (allout-hide-current-subtree): Use allout-ascend directly. Disqualify aberrant topics. (allout-kill-line, allout-kill-topic): Preserve exposure layout in a way that the yanks can restore it, as used to happen. (allout-yank-processing): Restore exposure layout as recorded by allout-kill-*, as used to happen. (allout-annotate-hidden, allout-hide-by-annotation): New routines for preseving and restoring exposure layout across kills. (allout-toggle-subtree-encryption): Run allout-exposure-change-hook. (allout-encrypt-string): Strip text properties. Rearranged order and outline-headings for some of the miscellaneous functions. (allout-resolve-xref): No need to quote the error name in the condition-case handler section. (allout-flatten): Classic recursive (and recursively intensive, without tail-recursion) list-flattener, needed by allout-shift-out when confronted with discontinuous children.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
