annotate lisp/password-cache.el @ 98007:883843ca3292

* verilog-mode.el (verilog-library-extensions): Enable .sv filename extensions to call verilog-mode. (verilog-auto, verilog-auto-inst, verilog-faq) (verilog-submit-bug-report): Update author support URLs. (verilog-delete-auto, verilog-auto-inout-module) (verilog-auto-inout-comp, verilog-auto): Add AUTOINOUTCOMP for creating complemented testbench modules. Suggested by Yishay Belkind. (verilog-auto-inst-port, verilog-simplify-range-expression): When verilog-auto-inst-param-value is set, don't require a AUTO_TEMPLATE to expand parameter substitutions. Suggested by Yishay Belkind. (verilog-auto-inst-param-value): Add safe variable. (verilog-re-search-forward, verilog-re-search-backward): Fix returning wrong search results on Emacs 22.1. (verilog-modi-cache-results, verilog-auto): Fix warning message about "toggling font-lock-mode." (verilog-auto): Fix loosing font-lock on errors. (verilog-auto-inst-param-value, verilog-mode-version) (verilog-mode-version-date, verilog-read-inst-param-value) (verilog-auto-inst, verilog-auto-inst-param) (verilog-auto-inst-port, verilog-simplify-range-expression): Allow parameters to be replaced with their values, on the expansion of an AUTOINST with Verilog 2001 style parameter settings. Suggested by David Rogoff. * verilog-mode.el (verilog-beg-block-re-ordered, verilog-calc-1): Better support for the property statement. Sometimes this keyword introduces a statement which requires an endproperty keyword, and sometimes it doesn't, dependening on the work before the property word. If property is prefixed with assert, assume or cover keyword, then the statement is ended with a ';' Otherwise, property is like task or specify, and is followed by some number of statements, which are ended with an endproperty keyword. (electric-verilog-tab): Support Emacs 22.2 style handling of tab in a highlighted region: indent each line in region according to mode. Supply this so it works in XEmacs and older Emacs.
