;;; Commentary:

;; Purpose:
;;
;; Lazy Lock mode is a Font Lock support mode.
;; It makes visiting buffers in Font Lock mode faster by making fontification
;; be demand-driven, deferred and stealthy, so that fontification only occurs
;; when, and where, necessary.
;;
;; See caveats and feedback below.
;; See also the fast-lock package.  (But don't use them at the same time!)

;; Installation:
;; 
;; Put in your ~/.emacs:
;;
;; (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
;;
;; Start up a new Emacs and use font-lock as usual (except that you can use the
;; so-called "gaudier" fontification regexps on big files without frustration).
;;
;; In a buffer (which has `font-lock-mode' enabled) which is at least
;; `lazy-lock-minimum-size' characters long, buffer fontification will not
;; occur and only the visible portion of the buffer will be fontified.  Motion
;; around the buffer will fontify those visible portions not previously
;; fontified.  If stealth fontification is enabled, buffer fontification will
;; occur in invisible parts of the buffer after `lazy-lock-stealth-time'
;; seconds of idle time.  If on-the-fly fontification is deferred, on-the-fly
;; fontification will occur after `lazy-lock-defer-time' seconds of idle time.

;; User-visible differences with version 1:
;;
;; - Version 2 can defer on-the-fly fontification.  Therefore you need not, and
;; should not, use defer-lock.el with this version of lazy-lock.el.
;;
;; A number of variables have changed meaning:
;;
;; - A value of nil for the variable `lazy-lock-minimum-size' means never turn
;; on demand-driven fontification.  In version 1 this meant always turn on
;; demand-driven fontification.  If you really want demand-driven fontification
;; regardless of buffer size, set this variable to 0.
;;
;; - The variable `lazy-lock-stealth-lines' cannot have a nil value.  In
;; version 1 this meant use `window-height' as the maximum number of lines to
;; fontify as a stealth chunk.  This makes no sense; stealth fontification is
;; of a buffer, not a window.

;; Implementation differences with version 1:
;;
;; - Version 1 of lazy-lock.el is a bit of a hack.  Version 1 demand-driven
;; fontification, the core feature of lazy-lock.el, is implemented by placing a
;; function on `post-command-hook'.  This function fontifies where necessary,
;; i.e., where a window scroll has occurred.  However, there are a number of
;; problems with using `post-command-hook':
;;
;; (a) As the name suggests, `post-command-hook' is run after every command,
;;     i.e., frequently and regardless of whether scrolling has occurred.
;; (b) Scrolling can occur during a command, when `post-command-hook' is not
;;     run, i.e., it is not necessarily run after scrolling has occurred.
;; (c) When `post-command-hook' is run, there is nothing to suggest where
;;     scrolling might have occurred, i.e., which windows have scrolled.
;;
;; Thus lazy-lock.el's function is called almost as often as possible, usually
;; when it need not be called, yet it is not always called when it is needed.
;; Also, lazy-lock.el's function must check each window to see if a scroll has
;; occurred there.  Worse still, lazy-lock.el's function must fontify a region
;; twice as large as necessary to make sure the window is completely fontified.
;; Basically, `post-command-hook' is completely inappropriate for lazy-lock.el.
;;
;; Ideally, we want to attach lazy-lock.el's function to a hook that is run
;; only when scrolling occurs, e.g., `window-start' has changed, and tells us
;; as much information as we need, i.e., the window and its new buffer region.
;; Richard Stallman implemented a `window-scroll-functions' for Emacs 19.30.
;; Functions on it are run when `window-start' has changed, and are supplied
;; with the window and the window's new `window-start' position.  (It would be
;; better if it also supplied the window's new `window-end' position, but that
;; is calculated as part of the redisplay process, and the functions on
;; `window-scroll-functions' are run before redisplay has finished.)  Thus, the
;; hook deals with the above problems (a), (b) and (c).
;;
;; If only life was that easy.  Version 2 demand-driven fontification is mostly
;; implemented by placing a function on `window-scroll-functions'.  However,
;; not all scrolling occurs when `window-start' has changed.  A change in
;; window size, e.g., via C-x 1, or a significant deletion, e.g., of a number
;; of lines, causes text previously invisible (i.e., after `window-end') to
;; become visible without changing `window-start'.  Arguably, these events are
;; not scrolling events, but fontification must occur for lazy-lock.el to work.
;; Hooks `window-size-change-functions' and `redisplay-end-trigger-functions'
;; were added for these circumstances.
;;
;; (Ben Wing thinks these hooks are "horribly horribly kludgy", and implemented
;; a `pre-idle-hook', a `mother-of-all-post-command-hooks', for XEmacs 19.14.
;; He then hacked up a version 1 lazy-lock.el to use `pre-idle-hook' rather
;; than `post-command-hook'.  Whereas functions on `post-command-hook' are
;; called almost as often as possible, functions on `pre-idle-hook' really are
;; called as often as possible, even when the mouse moves and, on some systems,
;; while XEmacs is idle.  Thus, the hook deals with the above problem (b), but
;; unfortunately it makes (a) worse and does not address (c) at all.
;;
;; I freely admit that `redisplay-end-trigger-functions' and, to a much lesser
;; extent, `window-size-change-functions' are not pretty.  However, I feel that
;; a `window-scroll-functions' feature is cleaner than a `pre-idle-hook', and
;; the result is faster and smaller, less intrusive and more targeted, code.
;; Since `pre-idle-hook' is pretty much like `post-command-hook', there is no
;; point in making this version of lazy-lock.el work with it.  Anyway, that's
;; Lit 30 of my humble opinion.
;;
;; Steve Baur reverted to a non-hacked version 1 lazy-lock.el for XEmacs 19.15
;; and 20.0.  Obviously, the above `post-command-hook' problems still apply.)
;;
;; - Version 1 stealth fontification is also implemented by placing a function
;; on `post-command-hook'.  This function waits for a given amount of time,
;; and, if Emacs remains idle, fontifies where necessary.  Again, there are a
;; number of problems with using `post-command-hook':
;;
;; (a) Functions on `post-command-hook' are run sequentially, so this function
;;     can interfere with other functions on the hook, and vice versa.
;; (b) This function waits for a given amount of time, so it can interfere with
;;     various features that are dealt with by Emacs after a command, e.g.,
;;     region highlighting, asynchronous updating and keystroke echoing.
;; (c) Fontification may be required during a command, when `post-command-hook'
;;     is not run.  (Version 2 deferred fontification only.)
;;
;; Again, `post-command-hook' is completely inappropriate for lazy-lock.el.
;; Richard Stallman and Morten Welinder implemented internal Timers and Idle
;; Timers for Emacs 19.31.  Functions can be run independently at given times
;; or after given amounts of idle time.  Thus, the feature deals with the above
;; problems (a), (b) and (c).  Version 2 deferral and stealth are implemented
;; by functions on Idle Timers.  (A function on XEmacs' `pre-idle-hook' is
;; similar to an Emacs Idle Timer function with a fixed zero second timeout.)

;; - Version 1 has the following problems (relative to version 2):
;;
;; (a) It is slow when it does its job.
;; (b) It does not always do its job when it should.
;; (c) It slows all interaction (when it doesn't need to do its job).
;; (d) It interferes with other package functions on `post-command-hook'.
;; (e) It interferes with Emacs things within the read-eval loop.
;;
;; Ben's hacked-up lazy-lock.el 1.14 almost solved (b) but made (c) worse.
;;
;; - Version 2 has the following additional features (relative to version 1):
;;
;; (a) It can defer fontification (both on-the-fly and on-scrolling).
;; (b) It can fontify contextually (syntactically true on-the-fly).

;; Caveats:
;;
;; Lazy Lock mode does not work efficiently with Outline mode.
;; This is because when in Outline mode, although text may be not visible to
;; you in the window, the text is visible to Emacs Lisp code (not surprisingly)
;; and Lazy Lock fontifies it mercilessly.  Maybe it will be fixed one day.
;;
;; Because buffer text is not necessarily fontified, other packages that expect
;; buffer text to be fontified in Font Lock mode either might not work as
;; expected, or might not display buffer text as expected.  An example of the
;; latter is `occur', which copies lines of buffer text into another buffer.
;;
;; In Emacs 19.30, Lazy Lock mode does not ensure that an existing buffer is
;; fontified if it is made visible via a minibuffer-less command that replaces
;; an existing window's buffer (e.g., via the Buffers menu).  Upgrade!
;;
;; In Emacs 19.30, Lazy Lock mode does not work well with Transient Mark mode
;; or modes based on Comint mode (e.g., Shell mode), and also interferes with
;; the echoing of keystrokes in the minibuffer.  This is because of the way
;; deferral and stealth have to be implemented for Emacs 19.30.  Upgrade!
;;
;; Currently XEmacs does not have the features to support this version of
;; lazy-lock.el.  Maybe it will one day.

  "Toggle Lazy Lock mode.
With arg, turn Lazy Lock mode on if and only if arg is positive.  Enable it
automatically in your `~/.emacs' by:

 (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)

When Lazy Lock mode is enabled, fontification can be lazy in a number of ways:

- Demand-driven buffer fontification if `lazy-lock-minimum-size' is non-nil.
  This means initial fontification does not occur if the buffer is greater than
  `lazy-lock-minimum-size' characters in length.  Instead, fontification occurs
  when necessary, such as when scrolling through the buffer would otherwise
  reveal unfontified areas.  This is useful if buffer fontification is too slow
  for large buffers.

- Deferred scroll fontification if `lazy-lock-defer-on-scrolling' is non-nil.
  This means demand-driven fontification does not occur as you scroll.
  Instead, fontification is deferred until after `lazy-lock-defer-time' seconds
  of Emacs idle time, while Emacs remains idle.  This is useful if
  fontification is too slow to keep up with scrolling.

- Deferred on-the-fly fontification if `lazy-lock-defer-on-the-fly' is non-nil.
  This means on-the-fly fontification does not occur as you type.  Instead,
  fontification is deferred until after `lazy-lock-defer-time' seconds of Emacs
  idle time, while Emacs remains idle.  This is useful if fontification is too
  slow to keep up with your typing.

- Deferred context fontification if `lazy-lock-defer-contextually' is non-nil.
  This means fontification updates the buffer corresponding to true syntactic
  context, after `lazy-lock-defer-time' seconds of Emacs idle time, while Emacs
  remains idle.  Otherwise, fontification occurs on modified lines only, and
  subsequent lines can remain fontified corresponding to previous syntactic
  contexts.  This is useful where strings or comments span lines.

- Stealthy buffer fontification if `lazy-lock-stealth-time' is non-nil.
  This means remaining unfontified areas of buffers are fontified if Emacs has
  been idle for `lazy-lock-stealth-time' seconds, while Emacs remains idle.
  This is useful if any buffer has any deferred fontification.

Basic Font Lock mode on-the-fly fontification behaviour fontifies modified
lines only.  Thus, if `lazy-lock-defer-contextually' is non-nil, Lazy Lock mode
on-the-fly fontification may fontify differently, albeit correctly.  In any
event, to refontify some lines you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block].

Stealth fontification only occurs while the system remains unloaded.
If the system load rises above `lazy-lock-stealth-load' percent, stealth
fontification is suspended.  Stealth fontification intensity is controlled via
the variable `lazy-lock-stealth-nice' and `lazy-lock-stealth-lines', and
verbosity is controlled via the variable `lazy-lock-stealth-verbose'."

;; Hook functions.

;; Lazy Lock mode intervenes when (1) a previously invisible buffer region
;; becomes visible, i.e., for demand- or defer-driven on-the-scroll
;; fontification, (2) a buffer modification occurs, i.e., for defer-driven
;; on-the-fly fontification, (3) Emacs becomes idle, i.e., for fontification of
;; deferred fontification and stealth fontification, and (4) other special
;; occasions.

;; 1.  There are three ways whereby this can happen.
;;
;; (a) Scrolling the window, either explicitly (e.g., `scroll-up') or
;;     implicitly (e.g., `search-forward').  Here, `window-start' changes.
;;     Fontification occurs by adding `lazy-lock-fontify-after-scroll' (for
;;     demand-driven fontification) or `lazy-lock-defer-after-scroll' (for
;;     defer-driven fontification) to the hook `window-scroll-functions'.

  (set-window-redisplay-end-trigger window nil))

;; (b) Resizing the window, either explicitly (e.g., `enlarge-window') or
;;     implicitly (e.g., `delete-other-windows').  Here, `window-end' changes.
;;     Fontification occurs by adding `lazy-lock-fontify-after-resize' to the

;; (c) Deletion in the buffer.  Here, a `window-end' marker can become visible.
;;     Fontification occurs by adding `lazy-lock-arrange-before-change' to
;;     `before-change-functions' and `lazy-lock-fontify-after-trigger' to the
;;     hook `redisplay-end-trigger-functions'.  Before every deletion, the
;;     marker `window-redisplay-end-trigger' position is set to the soon-to-be
;;     changed `window-end' position.  If the marker becomes visible,
;;     `lazy-lock-fontify-after-trigger' gets called.  Ouch.  Note that we only
;;     have to deal with this eventuality if there is no on-the-fly deferral.
