;;
;; Introduction
;;---------------
;;  
;;     After you type a few characters, pressing the "complete" key inserts
;; the rest of the word you are likely to type.  
;;
;; This watches all the words that you type and remembers them.  When 
;; typing a new word, pressing "complete" (meta-return) "completes" the
;; word by inserting the most recently used word that begins with the 
;; same characters.  If you press meta-return repeatedly, it cycles
;; through all the words it knows about.
;;
;;  If you like the completion then just continue typing, it is as if you
;; entered the text by hand.  If you want the inserted extra characters 
;; to go away, type control-w or delete.  More options are described below.
;;
;;  The guesses are made in the order of the most recently "used".  Typing
;; in a word and then typing a separator character (such as a space) "uses" 
;; the word.  So does moving a cursor over the word.  If no words are found, 
;; it uses an extended version of the dabbrev style completion.
;;
;;   You automatically save the completions you use to a file between 
;; sessions.  
;;
;;   Completion enables programmers to enter longer, more descriptive 
;; variable names while typing fewer keystrokes than they normally would.
;;
;;
;; Full documentation
;;---------------------
;;
;;   A "word" is any string containing characters with either word or symbol 
;; syntax.  [E.G. Any alphanumeric string with hyphens, underscores, etc.]
;; Unless you change the constants, you must type at least three characters
;; for the word to be recognized.  Only words longer than 6 characters are
;; saved.
;;
;;   When you load this file, completion will be on.  I suggest you use the
;; compiled version (because it is noticeably faster).
;;
;;  M-X completion-mode toggles whether or not new words are added to the
;; database by changing the value of enable-completion.
;;
;;  SAVING/LOADING COMPLETIONS
;;   Completions are automatically saved from one session to another
;; (unless save-completions-flag or enable-completion is nil).
;; Loading this file (or calling initialize-completions) causes EMACS
;; to load a completions database for a saved completions file 
;; (default: ~/.completions).  When you exit, EMACS saves a copy of the
;; completions that you 
;; often use.  When you next start, EMACS loads in the saved completion file.
;;
;;   The number of completions saved depends loosely on 
;; *saved-completions-decay-factor*.  Completions that have never been 
;; inserted via "complete" are not saved.  You are encouraged to experiment
;; with different functions (see compute-completion-min-num-uses).
;;
;;   Some completions are permanent and are always saved out.  These 
;; completions have their num-uses slot set to T.  Use 
;; add-permanent-completion to do this
;;
;;   Completions are saved only if enable-completion is T.  The number of old
;; versions kept of the saved completions file is controlled by 
;; completions-file-versions-kept.
;;
;; COMPLETE KEY OPTIONS
;;   The complete function takes a numeric arguments.  
;;  control-u :: leave the point at the beginning of the completion rather 
;;               than the middle.
;;  a number  :: rotate through the possible completions by that amount
;;  `-'       :: same as -1 (insert previous completion)
;;
;; HOW THE DATABASE IS MAINTAINED
;;  <write>
;;
;; UPDATING THE DATABASE MANUALLY
;;   m-x kill-completion 
;;     kills the completion at point.
;;   m-x add-completion
;;   m-x add-permanent-completion
;;   
;; UPDATING THE DATABASE FROM A SOURCE CODE FILE
;;   m-x add-completions-from-buffer
;;     Parses all the definition names from a C or LISP mode buffer and
;;     adds them to the completion database.
;;
;;   m-x add-completions-from-lisp-file 
;;     Parses all the definition names from a C or Lisp mode file and
;;     adds them to the completion database.
;;
;; UPDATING THE DATABASE FROM A TAGS TABLE
;;   m-x add-completions-from-tags-table
;;     Adds completions from the current tags-table-buffer.
;;
;; HOW A COMPLETION IS FOUND
;;  <write>
;;
;; STRING CASING
;;   Completion is string case independent if case-fold-search has its 
;;  normal default of T.  Also when the completion is inserted the case of the
;;  entry is coerced appropriately.  
;;  [E.G.  APP --> APPROPRIATELY     app --> appropriately  
;;         App --> Appropriately]
;;
;; INITIALIZATION
;;  The form `(initialize-completions)' initializes the completion system by 
;; trying to load in the user's completions.  After the first cal, further 
;; calls have no effect so one should be careful not to put the form in a 
;; site's standard site-init file.

;;-----------------------------------------------
;; To Do :: (anybody ?)
;;-----------------------------------------------
;;
;;   Implement Lookup and keyboard interface in C
;;   Add package prefix smarts (for Common Lisp)
;;   Add autoprompting of possible completions after every keystroke (fast
;;      terminals only !)
;;   Add doc. to texinfo
;;
;;
;;-----------------------------------------------
;;; Change Log:
;;-----------------------------------------------
;;    Sometime in '84 Brewster implemented a somewhat buggy version for 
;; Symbolics LISPMs.
;;    Jan. '85 Jim became enamored of the idea and implemented a faster, 
;; more robust version.
;;    With input from many users at TMC, (rose, craig, and gls come to mind),
;; the current style of interface was developed. 
;;    9/87, Jim and Brewster took terminals home.  Yuck.  After 
;; complaining for a while Brewster implemented a subset of the current 
;; LISPM version for GNU Emacs.  
;;    8/88  After complaining for a while (and with sufficient 
;; promised rewards), Jim reimplemented a version of GNU completion
;; superior to that of the LISPM version.

;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; "Symbol" parsing functions
;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; The functions symbol-before-point, symbol-under-point, etc. quickly return
;; an appropriate symbol string.  The strategy is to temporarily change
;; the syntax table to enable fast symbol searching.  There are three classes
;; of syntax in these "symbol" syntax tables ::
;;
;; syntax (?_) - "symbol" chars (e.g. alphanumerics)
;; syntax (?w) - symbol chars to ignore at end of words (e.g. period).  
;; syntax (? ) - everything else
;;
;; Thus by judicious use of scan-sexps and forward-word, we can get
;; the word we want relatively fast and without consing.  
;;
;; Why do we need a separate category for "symbol chars to ignore at ends" ?
;; For example, in LISP we want starting :'s trimmed 
;; so keyword argument specifiers also define the keyword completion.  And,
;; for example, in C we want `.' appearing in a structure ref. to
;; be kept intact in order to store the whole structure ref.; however, if 
;; it appears at the end of a symbol it should be discarded because it is
;; probably used as a period.

;; Here is the default completion syntax ::
;; Symbol chars :: A-Z a-z 0-9 @ / \ * + ~ $ < > %
;; Symbol chars to ignore at ends :: _ : . -
;; Separator chars. :: <tab> <space> ! ^ & ( ) = ` | { } [ ] ; " ' #
;;                     , ? <Everything else>

;; Mode specific differences and notes ::
;;  LISP diffs ->
;;    Symbol chars :: ! & ? = ^
;;
;; C diffs ->
;;   Separator chars :: + * / : %
;;  A note on the hyphen (`-').  Perhaps the hyphen should also be a separator
;; char., however, we wanted to have completion symbols include pointer 
;; references.  For example, "foo->bar" is a symbol as far as completion is
;; concerned.
;;
;; FORTRAN diffs ->
;;   Separator chars :: + - * / :
;;
;; Pathname diffs ->
;;   Symbol chars :: .
;;  Of course there is no pathname "mode" and in fact we have not implemented
;; this table.  However, if there was such a mode, this is what it would look
;; like.
