;;; Commentary:

;; Purpose:
;;
;; To make visiting a file in `font-lock-mode' faster by restoring its face
;; text properties from automatically saved associated Font Lock cache files.
;;
;; See caveats and feedback below.
;; See also the lazy-lock package.  (But don't use the two at the same time!)

;; Installation:
;; 
;; Put in your ~/.emacs:
;;
;; (add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'turn-on-fast-lock)
;;
;; 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).
;;
;; When you visit a file (which has `font-lock-mode' enabled) that has a
;; corresponding Font Lock cache file associated with it, the Font Lock cache
;; will be loaded from that file instead of being generated by Font Lock code.

;; Caveats:
;;
;; A cache will be saved when visiting a compressed file using crypt++, but not
;; be read.  This is a "feature"/"consequence"/"bug" of crypt++.
;;
;; Version control packages are likely to stamp all over file modification
;; times.  Therefore the act of checking out may invalidate a cache.

;; Feedback:
;;
;; Feedback is welcome.
;; To submit a bug report (or make comments) please use the mechanism provided:

Each item should be either DIR or a cons pair of the form (REGEXP . DIR) where
DIR is a directory name (relative or absolute) and REGEXP is a regexp.

An attempt will be made to save or read Font Lock cache files using these items
until one succeeds (i.e., until a readable or writable one is found).  If an
item contains REGEXP, DIR is used only if the buffer file name matches REGEXP.
For example:

 (list (cons (concat \"^\" (regexp-quote (expand-file-name \"~\"))) \".\")

If Fast Lock mode is enabled, and the current buffer does not contain any text
properties, any associated Font Lock cache is used if its timestamp matches the
buffer's file, and its `font-lock-keywords' match those that you are using.

Font Lock caches may be saved:
 - When you save the file's buffer.
 - When you kill an unmodified file's buffer.
 - When you exit Emacs, for all unmodified or saved buffers.
Depending on the value of `fast-lock-save-events'.
See also the commands `fast-lock-read-cache' and `fast-lock-save-cache'.

Use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer] to fontify the buffer if the cache is bad.

Various methods of control are provided for the Font Lock cache.  In general,
see variable `fast-lock-cache-directories' and function `fast-lock-cache-name'.
