;;; Commentary:

;; This mode allows you to align regions in a context-sensitive fashion.
;; The classic use is to align assignments:
;;
;;    int a = 1;
;;    short foo = 2;
;;    double blah = 4;
;;
;; becomes
;;
;;    int    a    = 1;
;;    short  foo  = 2;
;;    double blah = 4;

;;; Usage:

;; There are several variables which define how certain "categories"
;; of syntax are to be treated.  These variables go by the name
;; `align-CATEGORY-modes'.  For example, "c++" is such a category.
;; There are several rules which apply to c++, but since several other
;; languages have a syntax similar to c++ (e.g., c, java, etc), these
;; modes are treated as belonging to the same category.
;;
;; If you want to add a new mode under a certain category, just
;; customize that list, or add the new mode manually.  For example, to
;; make jde-mode a c++ category mode, use this code in your .emacs
;; file:
;;
;;    (setq align-c++-modes (cons 'jde-mode align-c++-modes))

;; In some programming modes, it's useful to have the aligner run only
;; after indentation is performed.  To achieve this, customize or set
;; the variable `align-indent-before-aligning' to t.

;;; Module Authors:

;; In order to incorporate align's functionality into your own
;; modules, there are only a few steps you have to follow.

;;  1. Require or load in the align.el library.
;;
;;  2. Define your alignment and exclusion rules lists, either
;;     customizable or not.
;;
;;  3. In your mode function, set the variables
;;     `align-mode-rules-list' and `align-mode-exclude-rules-list'
;;     to your own rules lists.

;; If there is any need to add your mode name to one of the
;; align-?-modes variables (for example, `align-dq-string-modes'), use
;; `add-to-list', or some similar function which checks first to see
;; if the value is already there.  Since the user may customize that
;; mode list, and then write your mode name into their .emacs file,
;; causing the symbol already to be present the next time they load
;; your package.

;; Example:
;;
;;   (require 'align)
;;
;;   (defcustom my-align-rules-list
;;     '((my-rule
;;        (regexp . "Sample")))
;;     :type align-rules-list-type
;;     :group 'my-package)
;;
;;   (put 'my-align-rules-list 'risky-local-variable t)
;;
;;   (add-to-list 'align-dq-string-modes 'my-package-mode)
;;   (add-to-list 'align-open-comment-modes 'my-package-mode)
;;
;;   (defun my-mode ()
;;      ...
;;      (setq align-mode-rules-list my-align-rules-list))
;;
;; Note that if you need to install your own exclusion rules, then you
;; will also need to reproduce any double-quoted string, or open
;; comment exclusion rules that are defined in the standard
;; `align-exclude-rules-list'.  At the moment there is no convenient
;; way to mix both mode-local and global rules lists.

;;; History:

;; Version 1.0 was created in the earlier part of 1996, using a very
;; simple algorithm that understand only basic regular expressions.
;; Parts of the code were broken up and included in vhdl-mode.el
;; around this time.  After several comments from users, and a need to
;; find a more robust, performant algorithm, 2.0 was born in late
;; 1998.  Many different approaches were taken (mostly due to the
;; complexity of TeX tables), but finally a scheme was discovered
;; which worked fairly well for most common usage cases.  Development
;; beyond version 2.8 is not planned, except for problems that users
;; might encounter.

For the sake of clarification, consider the following example, which
will be referred to in the descriptions below.

    int alpha = 1; /* one */
    double beta = 2.0;
    long gamma; /* ten */

    unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
    long double epsilon = 3.0;
    long long omega; /* ten */

The possible settings for `align-region-separate' are:

 `entire'  The entire region being aligned will be considered as a
	   single alignment section.  Assuming that comments were not
	   being aligned to a particular column, the example would
	   become:

	     int          alpha    = 1;   /* one */
	     double       beta     = 2.0;
	     long         gamma;          /* ten */

	     unsigned int delta    = 1;   /* one */
	     long double  epsilon;
	     long long    chi      = 10;  /* ten */

 `group'   Each contiguous set of lines where a specific alignment
	   occurs is considered a section for that alignment rule.
	   Note that each rule will may have any entirely different
	   set of section divisions than another.

	     int    alpha = 1; /* one */
	     double beta  = 2.0;
	     long   gamma; /* ten */

	     unsigned int delta = 1; /* one */
	     long double  epsilon;
	     long long    chi = 10; /* ten */

 `largest' When contiguous rule sets overlap, the largest section
	   described will be taken as the alignment section for each
	   rule touched by that section.

	     int    alpha = 1;   /* one */
	     double beta  = 2.0;
	     long   gamma;       /* ten */

	     unsigned int delta    = 1;  /* one */
	     long double  epsilon;
	     long long    chi      = 10; /* ten */

	   NOTE: This option is not supported yet, due to algorithmic
	   issues which haven't been satisfactorily resolved.  There
	   are ways to do it, but they're both ugly and resource
	   consumptive.

 regexp    A regular expression string which defines the section
	   divider.  If the mode you're in has a consistent divider
	   between sections, the behavior will be very similar to
	   `largest', and faster.  But if the mode does not use clear
	   separators (for example, if you collapse your braces onto
	   the preceding statement in C or perl), `largest' is
	   probably the better alternative.

 function  A function that will be passed the beginning and ending
	   locations of the region in which to look for the section
	   separator.  At the very beginning of the attempt to align,
	   both of these parameters will be nil, in which case the
	   function should return non-nil if it wants each rule to
	   define its own section, or nil if it wants the largest
	   section found to be used as the common section for all rules
	   that occur there.

 list      A list of markers within the buffer that represent where
	   the section dividers lie.  Be certain to use markers!  For
	   when the aligning begins, the ensuing contract/expanding of
	   whitespace will throw off any non-marker positions.

	   This method is intended for use in Lisp programs, and not
	   by the user."

	    that the \"alignment character\" (the character
	    immediately following the identified parenthesis group),
	    occurs in the same column for every line within the
	    alignment section (see `align-region-separate' for a
	    description of how the region is broken up into alignment
	    sections).

	    The `regexp' attribute describes how the text should be
	    treated.  Within this regexp, there must be at least one
	    group of characters (typically whitespace) identified by
	    the special opening and closing parens used in regexp
	    expressions (`\\\\(' and `\\\\)') (see the Emacs manual on
	    the syntax of regular expressions for more info).

	    If `regexp' is a function, it will be called as a
	    replacement for `re-search-forward'.  This means that it
	    should return nil if nothing is found to match the rule,
	    or it should set the match data appropriately, move point
	    to the end of the match, and return the value of point.

`group'     For exclusion rules, the group identifies the range of
	    characters that should be ignored.  For alignment rules,
	    these are the characters that will be deleted/expanded for
	    the purposes of alignment.  The \"alignment character\" is
	    always the first character immediately following this
	    parenthesis group.  This attribute may also be a list of
	    integer, in which case multiple alignment characters will
	    be aligned, with the list of integer identifying the
	    whitespace groups which precede them.  The default for
	    this attribute is 1.

`modes'     The `modes' attribute, if set, should name a list of
	    major modes -- or evaluate to such a value -- in which the
	    rule is valid.  If not set, the rule will apply to all
	    modes.

`case-fold' If `regexp' is an ordinary regular expression string
	    containing alphabetic character, sometimes you may want
	    the search to proceed case-insensitively (for languages
	    that ignore case, such as pascal for example).  In that
	    case, set `case-fold' to a non-nil value, and the regular
	    expression search will ignore case.  If `regexp' is set to
	    a function, that function must handle the job of ignoring
	    case by itself.

`tab-stop'  If the `tab-stop' attribute is set, and non-nil, the
	    alignment character will always fall on a tab stop
	    (whether it uses tabs to get there or not depends on the
	    value of `indent-tabs-mode').  If the `tab-stop' attribute
	    is set to nil, tab stops will never be used.  Otherwise,
	    the value of `align-to-tab-stop' determines whether or not
	    to align to a tab stop.  The `tab-stop' attribute may also
	    be a list of t or nil values, corresponding to the number
	    of parenthesis groups specified by the `group' attribute.

`repeat'    If the `repeat' attribute is present, and non-nil, the
	    rule will be applied to the line continuously until no
	    further matches are found.

`valid'     If the `valid' attribute is set, it will be used to
	    determine whether the rule should be invoked.  This form
	    is evaluated after the regular expression match has been
	    performed, so that it is possible to use the results of
	    that match to determine whether the alignment should be
	    performed.  The buffer should not be modified during the
	    evaluation of this form.

`run-if'    Like `valid', the `run-if' attribute tests whether the
	    rule should be run at all -- even before any searches are
	    done to determine if the rule applies to the alignment
	    region.  This can save time, since `run-if' will only be
	    run once for each rule.  If it returns nil, the rule will
	    not be attempted.

`column'    For alignment rules, if the `column' attribute is set --
	    which must be an integer, or a symbol whose value is an
	    integer -- it will be used as the column in which to align
	    the alignment character.  If the text on a particular line
	    happens to overrun that column, a single space character,
	    or tab stop (see `align-to-tab-stop') will be added
	    between the last text character and the alignment
	    character.

`spacing'   Alignment rules may also override the amount of spacing
	    that would normally be used by providing a `spacing'
	    attribute.  This must be an integer, or a list of integers
	    corresponding to the number of parenthesis groups matched
	    by the `group' attribute.  If a list of value is used, and
	    any of those values is nil, `align-default-spacing' will
	    be used for that subgroup.  See `align-default-spacing'
	    for more details on spacing, tab stops, and how to
	    indicate how much spacing should be used.  If TAB-STOP is
	    present, it will override the value of `align-to-tab-stop'
	    for that rule.

`justify'   It is possible with `regexp' and `group' to identify a
	    character group that contains more than just whitespace
	    characters.  By default, any non-whitespace characters in
	    that group will also be deleted while aligning the
	    alignment character.  However, if the `justify' attribute
	    is set to a non-nil value, only the initial whitespace
	    characters within that group will be deleted.  This has
	    the effect of right-justifying the characters that remain,
	    and can be used for outdenting or just plain old right-
	    justification.

`separate'  Each rule can define its own section separator, which
	    describes how to identify the separation of \"sections\"
	    within the region to be aligned.  Setting the `separate'
	    attribute overrides the value of `align-region-separate'
	    (see the documentation of that variable for possible
	    values), and any separation argument passed to `align'."

(defun align-region (beg end separate rules exclude-rules

  "Align a region based on a given set of alignment rules.
BEG and END specify the region to be aligned.  Either may be nil, in
which case the range will stop at the nearest section division (see
`align-region-separate', and `align-region-heuristic' for more
information').

The region will be divided into separate alignment sections based on
the value of SEPARATE.

RULES and EXCLUDE-RULES are a pair of lists describing how to align
the region, and which text areas within it should be excluded from
alignment.  See the `align-rules-list' for more information on the
required format of these two lists.

If FUNC is specified, no text will be modified.  What `align-region'
will do with the rules is to search for the alignment areas, as it
regularly would, taking account for exclusions, and then call FUNC,
first with the beginning and ending of the region to be aligned
according to that rule (this can be different for each rule, if BEG
and END were nil), and then with the beginning and ending of each
text region that the rule would have applied to.

The signature of FUNC should thus be:

 (defun my-align-function (beg end mode)
   \"If MODE is a rule (a list), return t if BEG to END are to be searched.
Otherwise BEG to END will be a region of text that matches the rule's
definition, and MODE will be non-nil if any changes are necessary.\"
   (unless (and mode (listp mode))
     (message \"Would have aligned from %d to %d...\" beg end)))

This feature (of passing a FUNC) is used internally to locate the
position of exclusion areas, but could also be used for any other
purpose where you might want to know where the regions that the
aligner would have dealt with are."
