;;; Commentary:

;; NOTE: This documentation is slightly out of date. In particular, all the
;; references to Emacs-18 are obsolete now, because it is not any longer
;; supported by this version of Advice.

;; Advice is documented in the Emacs Lisp Manual.

;; @ Introduction:
;; ===============
;; This package implements a full-fledged Lisp-style advice mechanism
;; for Emacs Lisp. Advice is a clean and efficient way to modify the
;; behavior of Emacs Lisp functions without having to keep  personal
;; modified copies of such functions around. A great number of such
;; modifications can be achieved by treating the original function as a
;; black box and specifying a different execution environment for it
;; with a piece of advice. Think of a piece of advice as a kind of fancy
;; hook that you can attach to any function/macro/subr.

;; @ Highlights:
;; =============
;; - Clean definition of multiple, named before/around/after advices
;;   for functions, macros, subrs and special forms
;; - Full control over the arguments an advised function will receive,
;;   the binding environment in which it will be executed, as well as the
;;   value it will return.
;; - Allows re/definition of interactive behavior for functions and subrs
;; - Every piece of advice can have its documentation string which will be
;;   combined with the original documentation of the advised function at
;;   call-time of `documentation' for proper command-key substitution.
;; - The execution of every piece of advice can be protected against error
;;   and non-local exits in preceding code or advices.
;; - Simple argument access either by name, or, more portable but as
;;   efficient, via access macros
;; - Allows the specification of a different argument list for the advised
;;   version of a function.
;; - Advised functions can be byte-compiled either at file-compile time
;;   (see preactivation) or activation time.
;; - Separation of advice definition and activation
;; - Forward advice is possible, that is
;;   as yet undefined or autoload functions can be advised without having to
;;   preload the file in which they are defined.
;; - Forward redefinition is possible because around advice can be used to
;;   completely redefine a function.
;; - A caching mechanism for advised definition provides for cheap deactivation
;;   and reactivation of advised functions.
;; - Preactivation allows efficient construction and compilation of advised
;;   definitions at file compile time without giving up the flexibility of
;;   the advice mechanism.
;; - En/disablement mechanism allows the use of  different "views" of advised
;;   functions depending on what pieces of advice are currently en/disabled
;; - Provides manipulation mechanisms for sets of advised functions via
;;   regular expressions that match advice names

;; @ How to get Advice for Emacs-18:
;; =================================
;; `advice18.el', a version of Advice that also works in Emacs-18 is available
;; either via anonymous ftp from `ftp.cs.buffalo.edu (128.205.32.9)' with
;; pathname `/pub/Emacs/advice18.el', or from one of the Emacs Lisp archive
;; sites, or send email to <hans@cs.buffalo.edu> and I'll mail it to you.

;; @ Overview, or how to read this file:
;; =====================================
;; NOTE: This documentation is slightly out of date. In particular, all the
;; references to Emacs-18 are obsolete now, because it is not any longer
;; supported by this version of Advice. An up-to-date version will soon be
;; available as an info file (thanks to the kind help of Jack Vinson and
;; David M. Smith). Until then you can use `outline-mode' to help you read
;; this documentation (set `outline-regexp' to `";; @+"').
;;
;; The four major sections of this file are:
;;
;;   @ This initial information       ...installation, customization etc.
;;   @ Advice documentation:          ...general documentation
;;   @ Foo games: An advice tutorial  ...teaches about Advice by example
;;   @ Advice implementation:         ...actual code, yeah!!
;;
;; The latter three are actual headings which you can search for
;; directly in case `outline-mode' doesn't work for you.

;; @ Restrictions:
;; ===============
;; - This version of Advice only works for Emacs 19.26 and later. It uses
;;   new versions of the built-in functions `fset/defalias' which are not
;;   yet available in Lucid Emacs, hence, it won't work there.
;; - Advised functions/macros/subrs will only exhibit their advised behavior
;;   when they are invoked via their function cell. This means that advice will
;;   not work for the following:
;;   + advised subrs that are called directly from other subrs or C-code
;;   + advised subrs that got replaced with their byte-code during
;;     byte-compilation (e.g., car)
;;   + advised macros which were expanded during byte-compilation before
;;     their advice was activated.

;; @ Credits:
;; ==========
;; This package is an extension and generalization of packages such as
;; insert-hooks.el written by Noah S. Friedman, and advise.el written by
;; Raul J. Acevedo. Some ideas used in here come from these packages,
;; others come from the various Lisp advice mechanisms I've come across
;; so far, and a few are simply mine.

;; @ Comments, suggestions, bug reports:
;; =====================================
;; If you find any bugs, have suggestions for new advice features, find the
;; documentation wrong, confusing, incomplete, or otherwise unsatisfactory,
;; have any questions about Advice, or have otherwise enlightening
;; comments feel free to send me email at <hans@cs.buffalo.edu>.

;; @ Safety Rules and Emergency Exits:
;; ===================================
;; Before we begin: CAUTION!!
;; Advice provides you with a lot of rope to hang yourself on very
;; easily accessible trees, so, here are a few important things you
;; should know: Once Advice has been started with `ad-start-advice'
;; (which happens automatically when you load this file), it
;; generates an advised definition of the `documentation' function, and
;; it will enable automatic advice activation when functions get defined.
;; All of this can be undone at any time with `M-x ad-stop-advice'.
;;
;; If you experience any strange behavior/errors etc. that you attribute to
;; Advice or to some ill-advised function do one of the following:

;; - M-x ad-deactivate FUNCTION (if you have a definite suspicion what
;;                               function gives you problems)
;; - M-x ad-deactivate-all      (if you don't have a clue what's going wrong)
;; - M-x ad-stop-advice         (if you think the problem is related to the
;;                               advised functions used by Advice itself)
;; - M-x ad-recover-normality   (for real emergencies)
;; - If none of the above solves your Advice-related problem go to another
;;   terminal, kill your Emacs process and send me some hate mail.

;; The first three measures have restarts, i.e., once you've figured out
;; the problem you can reactivate advised functions with either `ad-activate',
;; `ad-activate-all', or `ad-start-advice'. `ad-recover-normality' unadvises
;; everything so you won't be able to reactivate any advised functions, you'll
;; have to stick with their standard incarnations for the rest of the session.

;; IMPORTANT: With Advice loaded always do `M-x ad-deactivate-all' before
;; you byte-compile a file, because advised special forms and macros can lead
;; to unwanted compilation results. When you are done compiling use
;; `M-x ad-activate-all' to go back to the advised state of all your
;; advised functions.

;; RELAX: Advice is pretty safe even if you are oblivious to the above.
;; I use it extensively and haven't run into any serious trouble in a long
;; time. Just wanted you to be warned.

;; @ Customization:
;; ================

;; Look at the documentation of `ad-redefinition-action' for possible values
;; of this variable. Its default value is `warn' which will print a warning
;; message when an already defined advised function gets redefined with a
;; new original definition and de/activated.

;; Look at the documentation of `ad-default-compilation-action' for possible
;; values of this variable. Its default value is `maybe' which will compile
;; advised definitions during activation in case the byte-compiler is already
;; loaded. Otherwise, it will leave them uncompiled.

;; @ Motivation:
;; =============
;; Before I go on explaining how advice works, here are four simple examples
;; how this package can be used. The first three are very useful, the last one
;; is just a joke:

;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (before existing-buffers-only activate)
;;  "When called interactively switch to existing buffers only, unless
;;when called with a prefix argument."
;;  (interactive
;;   (list (read-buffer "Switch to buffer: " (other-buffer)
;;                      (null current-prefix-arg)))))
;;
;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (around confirm-non-existing-buffers activate)
;;  "Switch to non-existing buffers only upon confirmation."
;;  (interactive "BSwitch to buffer: ")
;;  (if (or (get-buffer (ad-get-arg 0))
;;          (y-or-n-p (format "`%s' does not exist, create? " (ad-get-arg 0))))
;;      ad-do-it))
;;
;;(defadvice find-file (before existing-files-only activate)
;;  "Find existing files only"
;;  (interactive "fFind file: "))
;;
;;(defadvice car (around interactive activate)
;;  "Make `car' an interactive function."
;;   (interactive "xCar of list: ")
;;   ad-do-it
;;   (if (interactive-p)
;;       (message "%s" ad-return-value)))


;; @ Advice documentation:
;; =======================
;; Below is general documentation of the various features of advice. For more
;; concrete examples check the corresponding sections in the tutorial part.

;; @@ Terminology:
;; ===============
;; - Emacs, Emacs-19: Emacs as released by the GNU Project
;; - Lemacs: Lucid's version of Emacs with major version 19
;; - v18: Any Emacs with major version 18 or built as an extension to that
;;        (such as Epoch)
;; - v19: Any Emacs with major version 19
;; - jwz: Jamie Zawinski - former keeper of Lemacs and creator of the optimizing
;;        byte-compiler used in v19s.
;; - Advice: The name of this package.
;; - advices: Short for "pieces of advice".

;; @@ Defining a piece of advice with `defadvice':
;; ===============================================
;; The main means of defining a piece of advice is the macro `defadvice',
;; there is no interactive way of specifying a piece of advice.  A call to
;; `defadvice' has the following syntax which is similar to the syntax of
;; `defun/defmacro':
;;
;; (defadvice <function> (<class> <name> [<position>] [<arglist>] {<flags>}*)
;;   [ [<documentation-string>] [<interactive-form>] ]
;;   {<body-form>}* )

;; <function> is the name of the function/macro/subr to be advised.

;; <class> is the class of the advice which has to be one of `before',
;; `around', `after', `activation' or `deactivation' (the last two allow
;; definition of special act/deactivation hooks).

;; <name> is the name of the advice which has to be a non-nil symbol.
;; Names uniquely identify a piece of advice in a certain advice class,
;; hence, advices can be redefined by defining an advice with the same class
;; and name. Advice names are global symbols, hence, the same name space
;; conventions used for function names should be applied.

;; An optional <position> specifies where in the current list of advices of
;; the specified <class> this new advice will be placed. <position> has to
;; be either `first', `last' or a number that specifies a zero-based
;; position (`first' is equivalent to 0). If no position is specified
;; `first' will be used as a default. If this call to `defadvice' redefines
;; an already existing advice (see above) then the position argument will
;; be ignored and the position of the already existing advice will be used.

;; An optional <arglist> which has to be a list can be used to define the
;; argument list of the advised function. This argument list should of
;; course be compatible with the argument list of the original function,
;; otherwise functions that call the advised function with the original
;; argument list in mind will break. If more than one advice specify an
;; argument list then the first one (the one with the smallest position)
;; found in the list of before/around/after advices will be used.

;; <flags> is a list of symbols that specify further information about the
;; advice. All flags can be specified with unambiguous initial substrings.
;;   `activate': Specifies that the advice information of the advised
;;              function should be activated right after this advice has been
;;              defined. In forward advices `activate' will be ignored.
;;   `protect': Specifies that this advice should be protected against
;;              non-local exits and errors in preceding code/advices.
;;   `compile': Specifies that the advised function should be byte-compiled.
;;              This flag will be ignored unless `activate' is also specified.
;;   `disable': Specifies that the defined advice should be disabled, hence,
;;              it will not be used in an activation until somebody enables it.
;;   `preactivate': Specifies that the advised function should get preactivated
;;              at macro-expansion/compile time of this `defadvice'. This
;;              generates a compiled advised definition according to the
;;              current advice state which will be used during activation
;;              if appropriate. Only use this if the `defadvice' gets
;;              actually compiled (with a v18 byte-compiler put the `defadvice'
;;              into the body of a `defun' to accomplish proper compilation).

;; An optional <documentation-string> can be supplied to document the advice.
;; On call of the `documentation' function it will be combined with the
;; documentation strings of the original function and other advices.

;; An optional <interactive-form> form can be supplied to change/add
;; interactive behavior of the original function. If more than one advice
;; has an `(interactive ...)' specification then the first one (the one
;; with the smallest position) found in the list of before/around/after
;; advices will be used.

;; A possibly empty list of <body-forms> specifies the body of the advice in
;; an implicit progn. The body of an advice can access/change arguments,
;; the return value, the binding environment, and can have all sorts of
;; other side effects.

;; @@ Assembling advised definitions:
;; ==================================
;; Suppose a function/macro/subr/special-form has N pieces of before advice,
;; M pieces of around advice and K pieces of after advice. Assuming none of
;; the advices is protected, its advised definition will look like this
;; (body-form indices correspond to the position of the respective advice in
;; that advice class):

;;    ([macro] lambda <arglist>
;;       [ [<advised-docstring>] [(interactive ...)] ]
;;       (let (ad-return-value)
;;         {<before-0-body-form>}*
;;               ....
;;         {<before-N-1-body-form>}*
;;         {<around-0-body-form>}*
;;            {<around-1-body-form>}*
;;                  ....
;;               {<around-M-1-body-form>}*
;;                  (setq ad-return-value
;;                        <apply original definition to <arglist>>)
;;               {<other-around-M-1-body-form>}*
;;                  ....
;;            {<other-around-1-body-form>}*
;;         {<other-around-0-body-form>}*
;;         {<after-0-body-form>}*
;;               ....
;;         {<after-K-1-body-form>}*
;;         ad-return-value))

;; Macros and special forms will be redefined as macros, hence the optional
;; [macro] in the beginning of the definition.

;; <arglist> is either the argument list of the original function or the
;; first argument list defined in the list of before/around/after advices.
;; The values of <arglist> variables can be accessed/changed in the body of
;; an advice by simply referring to them by their original name, however,
;; more portable argument access macros are also provided (see below).  For
;; subrs/special-forms for which neither explicit argument list definitions
;; are available, nor their documentation strings contain such definitions
;; (as they do v19s), `(&rest ad-subr-args)' will be used.

;; <advised-docstring> is an optional, special documentation string which will
;; be expanded into a proper documentation string upon call of `documentation'.

;; (interactive ...) is an optional interactive form either taken from the
;; original function or from a before/around/after advice. For advised
;; interactive subrs that do not have an interactive form specified in any
;; advice we have to use (interactive) and then call the subr interactively
;; if the advised function was called interactively, because the
;; interactive specification of subrs is not accessible. This is the only
;; case where changing the values of arguments will not have an affect
;; because they will be reset by the interactive specification of the subr.
;; If this is a problem one can always specify an interactive form in a
;; before/around/after advice to gain control over argument values that
;; were supplied interactively.
;;
;; Then the body forms of the various advices in the various classes of advice
;; are assembled in order.  The forms of around advice L are normally part of
;; one of the forms of around advice L-1. An around advice can specify where
;; the forms of the wrapped or surrounded forms should go with the special
;; keyword `ad-do-it', which will be substituted with a `progn' containing the
;; forms of the surrounded code.

;; The innermost part of the around advice onion is
;;      <apply original definition to <arglist>>
;; whose form depends on the type of the original function. The variable
;; `ad-return-value' will be set to its result. This variable is visible to
;; all pieces of advice which can access and modify it before it gets returned.
;;
;; The semantic structure of advised functions that contain protected pieces
;; of advice is the same. The only difference is that `unwind-protect' forms
;; make sure that the protected advice gets executed even if some previous
;; piece of advice had an error or a non-local exit. If any around advice is
;; protected then the whole around advice onion will be protected.

;; @@ Argument access in advised functions:
;; ========================================
;; As already mentioned, the simplest way to access the arguments of an
;; advised function in the body of an advice is to refer to them by name. To
;; do that, the advice programmer needs to know either the names of the
;; argument variables of the original function, or the names used in the
;; argument list redefinition given in a piece of advice. While this simple
;; method might be sufficient in many cases, it has the disadvantage that it
;; is not very portable because it hardcodes the argument names into the
;; advice. If the definition of the original function changes the advice
;; might break even though the code might still be correct. Situations like
;; that arise, for example, if one advises a subr like `eval-region' which
;; gets redefined in a non-advice style into a function by the edebug
;; package. If the advice assumes `eval-region' to be a subr it might break
;; once edebug is loaded. Similar situations arise when one wants to use the
;; same piece of advice across different versions of Emacs. Some subrs in a
;; v18 Emacs are functions in v19 and vice versa, but for the most part the
;; semantics remain the same, hence, the same piece of advice might be usable
;; in both Emacs versions.

;; As a solution to that advice provides argument list access macros that get
;; translated into the proper access forms at activation time, i.e., when the
;; advised definition gets constructed. Access macros access actual arguments
;; by position regardless of how these actual argument get distributed onto
;; the argument variables of a function. The rational behind this is that in
;; Emacs Lisp the semantics of an argument is strictly determined by its
;; position (there are no keyword arguments).

;; Suppose the function `foo' is defined as
;;
;;    (defun foo (x y &optional z &rest r) ....)
;;
;; and is then called with
;;
;;    (foo 0 1 2 3 4 5 6)

;; which means that X=0, Y=1, Z=2 and R=(3 4 5 6). The assumption is that
;; the semantics of an actual argument is determined by its position. It is
;; this semantics that has to be known by the advice programmer. Then s/he
;; can access these arguments in a piece of advice with some of the
;; following macros (the arrows indicate what value they will return):

;;    (ad-get-arg 0) -> 0
;;    (ad-get-arg 1) -> 1
;;    (ad-get-arg 2) -> 2
;;    (ad-get-arg 3) -> 3
;;    (ad-get-args 2) -> (2 3 4 5 6)
;;    (ad-get-args 4) -> (4 5 6)

;; `(ad-get-arg <position>)' will return the actual argument that was supplied
;; at <position>, `(ad-get-args <position>)' will return the list of actual
;; arguments supplied starting at <position>. Note that these macros can be
;; used without any knowledge about the form of the actual argument list of
;; the original function.

;; Similarly, `(ad-set-arg <position> <value-form>)' can be used to set the
;; value of the actual argument at <position> to <value-form>. For example,
;;
;;   (ad-set-arg 5 "five")
;;
;; will have the effect that R=(3 4 "five" 6) once the original function is
;; called. `(ad-set-args <position> <value-list-form>)' can be used to set
;; the list of actual arguments starting at <position> to <value-list-form>.
;; For example,
;;
;;   (ad-set-args 0 '(5 4 3 2 1 0))
;;
;; will have the effect that X=5, Y=4, Z=3 and R=(2 1 0) once the original
;; function is called.

;; All these access macros are text macros rather than real Lisp macros. When
;; the advised definition gets constructed they get replaced with actual access
;; forms depending on the argument list of the advised function, i.e., after
;; that argument access is in most cases as efficient as using the argument
;; variable names directly.

;; @@@ Accessing argument bindings of arbitrary functions:
;; =======================================================
;; Some functions (such as `trace-function' defined in trace.el) need a
;; method of accessing the names and bindings of the arguments of an
;; arbitrary advised function. To do that within an advice one can use the
;; special keyword `ad-arg-bindings' which is a text macro that will be
;; substituted with a form that will evaluate to a list of binding
;; specifications, one for every argument variable.  These binding
;; specifications can then be examined in the body of the advice.  For
;; example, somewhere in an advice we could do this:
;;
;;   (let* ((bindings ad-arg-bindings)
;;          (firstarg (car bindings))
;;          (secondarg (car (cdr bindings))))
;;     ;; Print info about first argument
;;     (print (format "%s=%s (%s)"
;;                    (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'name)
;;                    (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'value)
;;                    (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'type)))
;;     ....)
;;
;; The `type' of an argument is either `required', `optional' or `rest'.
;; Wherever `ad-arg-bindings' appears a form will be inserted that evaluates
;; to the list of bindings, hence, in order to avoid multiple unnecessary
;; evaluations one should always bind it to some variable.

;; @@@ Argument list mapping:
;; ==========================
;; Because `defadvice' allows the specification of the argument list of the
;; advised function we need a mapping mechanism that maps this argument list
;; onto that of the original function. For example, somebody might specify
;; `(sym newdef)' as the argument list of `fset', while advice might use
;; `(&rest ad-subr-args)' as the argument list of the original function
;; (depending on what Emacs version is used). Hence SYM and NEWDEF have to
;; be properly mapped onto the &rest variable when the original definition is
;; called. Advice automatically takes care of that mapping, hence, the advice
;; programmer can specify an argument list without having to know about the
;; exact structure of the original argument list as long as the new argument
;; list takes a compatible number/magnitude of actual arguments.

;; @@@ Definition of subr argument lists:
;; ======================================
;; When advice constructs the advised definition of a function it has to
;; know the argument list of the original function. For functions and macros
;; the argument list can be determined from the actual definition, however,
;; for subrs there is no such direct access available. In Lemacs and for some
;; subrs in Emacs-19 the argument list of a subr can be determined from
;; its documentation string, in a v18 Emacs even that is not possible. If
;; advice cannot at all determine the argument list of a subr it uses
;; `(&rest ad-subr-args)' which will always work but is inefficient because
;; it conses up arguments. The macro `ad-define-subr-args' can be used by
;; the advice programmer to explicitly tell advice about the argument list
;; of a certain subr, for example,
;;
;;    (ad-define-subr-args 'fset '(sym newdef))
;;
;; is used by advice itself to tell a v18 Emacs about the arguments of `fset'.
;; The following can be used to undo such a definition:
;;
;;    (ad-undefine-subr-args 'fset)
;;
;; The argument list definition is stored on the property list of the subr
;; name symbol. When an argument list could be determined from the
;; documentation string it will be cached under that property. The general
;; mechanism for looking up the argument list of a subr is the following:
;; 1) look for a definition stored on the property list
;; 2) if that failed try to infer it from the documentation string and
;;    if successful cache it on the property list
;; 3) otherwise use `(&rest ad-subr-args)'

;; @@ Activation and deactivation:
;; ===============================
;; The definition of an advised function does not change until all its advice
;; gets actually activated. Activation can either happen with the `activate'
;; flag specified in the `defadvice', with an explicit call or interactive
;; invocation of `ad-activate', or if forward advice is enabled (i.e., the
;; value of `ad-activate-on-definition' is t) at the time an already advised
;; function gets defined.

;; When a function gets first activated its original definition gets saved,
;; all defined and enabled pieces of advice will get combined with the
;; original definition, the resulting definition might get compiled depending
;; on some conditions described below, and then the function will get
;; redefined with the advised definition.  This also means that undefined
;; functions cannot get activated even though they might be already advised.

;; The advised definition will get compiled either if `ad-activate' was called
;; interactively with a prefix argument, or called explicitly with its second
;; argument as t, or, if `ad-default-compilation-action' justifies it according
;; to the current system state. If the advised definition was
;; constructed during "preactivation" (see below) then that definition will
;; be already compiled because it was constructed during byte-compilation of
;; the file that contained the `defadvice' with the `preactivate' flag.

;; `ad-deactivate' can be used to back-define an advised function to its
;; original definition. It can be called interactively or directly. Because
;; `ad-activate' caches the advised definition the function can be
;; reactivated via `ad-activate' with only minor overhead (it is checked
;; whether the current advice state is consistent with the cached
;; definition, see the section on caching below).

;; `ad-activate-regexp' and `ad-deactivate-regexp' can be used to de/activate
;; all currently advised function that have a piece of advice with a name that
;; contains a match for a regular expression. These functions can be used to
;; de/activate sets of functions depending on certain advice naming
;; conventions.

;; Finally, `ad-activate-all' and `ad-deactivate-all' can be used to
;; de/activate all currently advised functions. These are useful to
;; (temporarily) return to an un/advised state.

;; @@@ Reasons for the separation of advice definition and activation:
;; ===================================================================
;; As already mentioned, advising happens in two stages:

;;   1) definition of various pieces of advice
;;   2) activation of all advice currently defined and enabled

;; The advantage of this is that various pieces of advice can be defined
;; before they get combined into an advised definition which avoids
;; unnecessary constructions of intermediate advised definitions. The more
;; important advantage is that it allows the implementation of forward advice.
;; Advice information for a certain function accumulates as the value of the
;; `advice-info' property of the function symbol. This accumulation is
;; completely independent of the fact that that function might not yet be
;; defined. The special forms `defun' and `defmacro' have been advised to
;; check whether the function/macro they defined had advice information
;; associated with it. If so and forward advice is enabled, the original
;; definition will be saved, and then the advice will be activated. When a
;; file is loaded in a v18 Emacs the functions/macros it defines are also
;; defined with calls to `defun/defmacro'.  Hence, we can forward advise
;; functions/macros which will be defined later during a load/autoload of some
;; file (for compiled files generated by jwz's byte-compiler in a v19 Emacs
;; this is slightly more complicated but the basic idea is the same).

;; @@ Enabling/disabling pieces or sets of advice:
;; ===============================================
;; A major motivation for the development of this advice package was to bring
;; a little bit more structure into the function overloading chaos in Emacs
;; Lisp. Many packages achieve some of their functionality by adding a little
;; bit (or a lot) to the standard functionality of some Emacs Lisp function.
;; ange-ftp is a very popular package that achieves its magic by overloading
;; most Emacs Lisp functions that deal with files. A popular function that's
;; overloaded by many packages is `expand-file-name'. The situation that one
;; function is multiply overloaded can arise easily.

;; Once in a while it would be desirable to be able to disable some/all
;; overloads of a particular package while keeping all the rest.  Ideally -
;; at least in my opinion - these overloads would all be done with advice,
;; I know I am dreaming right now... In that ideal case the enable/disable
;; mechanism of advice could be used to achieve just that.

;; Every piece of advice is associated with an enablement flag. When the
;; advised definition of a particular function gets constructed (e.g., during
;; activation) only the currently enabled pieces of advice will be considered.
;; This mechanism allows one to have different "views" of an advised function
;; dependent on what pieces of advice are currently enabled.

;; Another motivation for this mechanism is that it allows one to define a
;; piece of advice for some function yet keep it dormant until a certain
;; condition is met. Until then activation of the function will not make use
;; of that piece of advice. Once the condition is met the advice can be
;; enabled and a reactivation of the function will add its functionality as
;; part of the new advised definition. For example, the advices of `defun'
;; etc. used by advice itself will stay disabled until `ad-start-advice' is
;; called and some variables have the proper values.  Hence, if somebody
;; else advised these functions too and activates them the advices defined
;; by advice will get used only if they are intended to be used.

;; The main interface to this mechanism are the interactive functions
;; `ad-enable-advice' and `ad-disable-advice'. For example, the following
;; would disable a particular advice of the function `foo':
;;
;;    (ad-disable-advice 'foo 'before 'my-advice)
;;
;; This call by itself only changes the flag, to get the proper effect in
;; the advised definition too one has to activate `foo' with
;;
;;    (ad-activate 'foo)
;;
;; or interactively. To disable whole sets of advices one can use a regular
;; expression mechanism. For example, let us assume that ange-ftp actually
;; used advice to overload all its functions, and that it used the
;; "ange-ftp-" prefix for all its advice names, then we could temporarily
;; disable all its advices with
;;
;;    (ad-disable-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
;;
;; and the following call would put that actually into effect:
;;
;;    (ad-activate-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
;;
;; A saver way would have been to use
;;
;;    (ad-update-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
;;
;; instead which would have only reactivated currently actively advised
;; functions, but not functions that were currently deactivated. All these
;; functions can also be called interactively.

;; A certain piece of advice is considered a match if its name contains a
;; match for the regular expression. To enable ange-ftp again we would use
;; `ad-enable-regexp' and then activate or update again.

;; @@ Forward advice, automatic advice activation:
;; ===============================================
;; Because most Emacs Lisp packages are loaded on demand via an autoload
;; mechanism it is essential to be able to "forward advise" functions.
;; Otherwise, proper advice definition and activation would make it necessary
;; to preload every file that defines a certain function before it can be
;; advised, which would partly defeat the purpose of the advice mechanism.

;; In the following, "forward advice" always implies its automatic activation
;; once a function gets defined, and not just the accumulation of advice
;; information for a possibly undefined function.

;; Advice implements forward advice mainly via the following: 1) Separation
;; of advice definition and activation that makes it possible to accumulate
;; advice information without having the original function already defined,
;; 2) special versions of the built-in functions `fset/defalias' which check
;; for advice information whenever they define a function. If advice
;; information was found then the advice will immediately get activated when
;; the function gets defined.

;; Automatic advice activation means, that whenever a function gets defined
;; with either `defun', `defmacro', `fset' or by loading a byte-compiled
;; file, and the function has some advice-info stored with it then that
;; advice will get activated right away.

;; @@@ Enabling automatic advice activation:
;; =========================================
;; Automatic advice activation is enabled by default. It can be disabled by
;; doint `M-x ad-stop-advice' and enabled again with `M-x ad-start-advice'.

;; @@ Caching of advised definitions:
;; ==================================
;; After an advised definition got constructed it gets cached as part of the
;; advised function's advice-info so it can be reused, for example, after an
;; intermediate deactivation. Because the advice-info of a function might
;; change between the time of caching and reuse a cached definition gets
;; a cache-id associated with it so it can be verified whether the cached
;; definition is still valid (the main application of this is preactivation
;; - see below).

;; When an advised function gets activated and a verifiable cached definition
;; is available, then that definition will be used instead of creating a new
;; advised definition from scratch. If you want to make sure that a new
;; definition gets constructed then you should use `ad-clear-cache' before you
;; activate the advised function.

;; @@ Preactivation:
;; =================
;; Constructing an advised definition is moderately expensive. In a situation
;; where one package defines a lot of advised functions it might be
;; prohibitively expensive to do all the advised definition construction at
;; runtime. Preactivation is a mechanism that allows compile-time construction
;; of compiled advised definitions that can be activated cheaply during
;; runtime. Preactivation uses the caching mechanism to do that. Here's how it
;; works:

;; When the byte-compiler compiles a `defadvice' that has the `preactivate'
;; flag specified, it uses the current original definition of the advised
;; function plus the advice specified in this `defadvice' (even if it is
;; specified as disabled) and all other currently enabled pieces of advice to
;; construct an advised definition and an identifying cache-id and makes them
;; part of the `defadvice' expansion which will then be compiled by the
;; byte-compiler (to ensure that in a v18 emacs you have to put the
;; `defadvice' inside a `defun' to get it compiled and then you have to call
;; that compiled `defun' in order to actually execute the `defadvice'). When
;; the file with the compiled, preactivating `defadvice' gets loaded the
;; precompiled advised definition will be cached on the advised function's
;; advice-info. When it gets activated (can be immediately on execution of the
;; `defadvice' or any time later) the cache-id gets checked against the
;; current state of advice and if it is verified the precompiled definition
;; will be used directly (the verification is pretty cheap). If it couldn't get
;; verified a new advised definition for that function will be built from
;; scratch, hence, the efficiency added by the preactivation mechanism does
;; not at all impair the flexibility of the advice mechanism.

;; MORAL: In order get all the efficiency out of preactivation the advice
;;        state of an advised function at the time the file with the
;;        preactivating `defadvice' gets byte-compiled should be exactly
;;        the same as it will be when the advice of that function gets
;;        actually activated. If it is not there is a high chance that the
;;        cache-id will not match and hence a new advised definition will
;;        have to be constructed at runtime.

;; Preactivation and forward advice do not contradict each other. It is
;; perfectly ok to load a file with a preactivating `defadvice' before the
;; original definition of the advised function is available. The constructed
;; advised definition will be used once the original function gets defined and
;; its advice gets activated. The only constraint is that at the time the
;; file with the preactivating `defadvice' got compiled the original function
;; definition was available.

;; TIPS: Here are some indications that a preactivation did not work the way
;;       you intended it to work:
;;       - Activation of the advised function takes longer than usual/expected
;;       - The byte-compiler gets loaded while an advised function gets
;;         activated
;;       - `byte-compile' is part of the `features' variable even though you
;;         did not use the byte-compiler
;;       Right now advice does not provide an elegant way to find out whether
;;       and why a preactivation failed. What you can do is to trace the
;;       function `ad-cache-id-verification-code' (with the function
;;       `trace-function-background' defined in my trace.el package) before
;;       any of your advised functions get activated. After they got
;;       activated check whether all calls to `ad-cache-id-verification-code'
;;       returned `verified' as a result. Other values indicate why the
;;       verification failed which should give you enough information to
;;       fix your preactivation/compile/load/activation sequence.

;; IMPORTANT: There is one case (that I am aware of) that can make
;; preactivation fail, i.e., a preconstructed advised definition that does
;; NOT match the current state of advice gets used nevertheless. That case
;; arises if one package defines a certain piece of advice which gets used
;; during preactivation, and another package incompatibly redefines that
;; very advice (i.e., same function/class/name), and it is the second advice
;; that is available when the preconstructed definition gets activated, and
;; that was the only definition of that advice so far (`ad-add-advice'
;; catches advice redefinitions and clears the cache in such a case).
;; Catching that would make the cache verification too expensive.

;; MORAL-II: Redefining somebody else's advice is BAAAAD (to speak with
;; George Walker Bush), and why would you redefine your own advice anyway?
;; Advice is a mechanism to facilitate function redefinition, not advice
;; redefinition (wait until I write Meta-Advice :-). If you really have
;; to undo somebody else's advice try to write a "neutralizing" advice.

;; @@ Advising macros and special forms and other dangerous things:
;; ================================================================
;; Look at the corresponding tutorial sections for more information on
;; these topics. Here it suffices to point out that the special treatment
;; of macros and special forms by the byte-compiler can lead to problems
;; when they get advised. Macros can create problems because they get
;; expanded at compile time, hence, they might not have all the necessary
;; runtime support and such advice cannot be de/activated or changed as
;; it is possible for functions. Special forms create problems because they
;; have to be advised "into" macros, i.e., an advised special form is a
;; implemented as a macro, hence, in most cases the byte-compiler will
;; not recognize it as a special form anymore which can lead to very strange
;; results.
;;
;; MORAL: - Only advise macros or special forms when you are absolutely sure
;;          what you are doing.
;;        - As a safety measure, always do `ad-deactivate-all' before you
;;          byte-compile a file to make sure that even if some inconsiderate
;;          person advised some special forms you'll get proper compilation
;;          results. After compilation do `ad-activate-all' to get back to
;;          the previous state.

;; @@ Adding a piece of advice with `ad-add-advice':
;; =================================================
;; The non-interactive function `ad-add-advice' can be used to add a piece of
;; advice to some function without using `defadvice'. This is useful if advice
;; has to be added somewhere by a function (also look at `ad-make-advice').

;; @@ Activation/deactivation advices, file load hooks:
;; ====================================================
;; There are two special classes of advice called `activation' and
;; `deactivation'. The body forms of these advices are not included into the
;; advised definition of a function, rather they are assembled into a hook
;; form which will be evaluated whenever the advice-info of the advised
;; function gets activated or deactivated. One application of this mechanism
;; is to define file load hooks for files that do not provide such hooks
;; (v19s already come with a general file-load-hook mechanism, v18s don't).
;; For example, suppose you want to print a message whenever `file-x' gets
;; loaded, and suppose the last function defined in `file-x' is
;; `file-x-last-fn'.  Then we can define the following advice:
;;
;;   (defadvice file-x-last-fn (activation file-x-load-hook)
;;      "Executed whenever file-x is loaded"
;;      (if load-in-progress (message "Loaded file-x")))
;;
;; This will constitute a forward advice for function `file-x-last-fn' which
;; will get activated when `file-x' is loaded (only if forward advice is
;; enabled of course). Because there are no "real" pieces of advice
;; available for it, its definition will not be changed, but the activation
;; advice will be run during its activation which is equivalent to having a
;; file load hook for `file-x'.

;; @@ Summary of main advice concepts:
;; ===================================
;; - Definition:
;;     A piece of advice gets defined with `defadvice' and added to the
;;     `advice-info' property of a function.
;; - Enablement:
;;     Every piece of advice has an enablement flag associated with it. Only
;;     enabled advices are considered during construction of an advised
;;     definition.
;; - Activation:
;;     Redefine an advised function with its advised definition. Constructs
;;     an advised definition from scratch if no verifiable cached advised
;;     definition is available and caches it.
;; - Deactivation:
;;     Back-define an advised function to its original definition.
;; - Update:
;;     Reactivate an advised function but only if its advice is currently
;;     active. This can be used to bring all currently advised function up
;;     to date with the current state of advice without also activating
;;     currently deactivated functions.
;; - Caching:
;;     Is the saving of an advised definition and an identifying cache-id so
;;     it can be reused, for example, for activation after deactivation.
;; - Preactivation:
;;     Is the construction of an advised definition according to the current
;;     state of advice during byte-compilation of a file with a preactivating
;;     `defadvice'. That advised definition can then rather cheaply be used

;; @@ Portable argument access:
;; ============================
;; So far, we always used the actual argument variable names to access an

;; some package (e.g., edebug) into a function with different argument names,
;; then a piece of advice written for `eval-region' that was written with

;; switches between major Emacs versions, e.g., certain subrs in v18 are
;; functions in v19 and vice versa. Also, in v19s subr argument lists
;; are available and will be used, while they are not available in v18.
;;
;; Argument access text macros allow one to access arguments of an advised
;; function in a portable way without having to worry about all these
;; possibilities. These macros will be translated into the proper access forms
;; at activation time, hence, argument access will be as efficient as if
;; the arguments had been used directly in the definition of the advice.

;; will still work because we used access macros (note, that automatic
;; advice activation is still in effect, hence, the redefinition of `fuu'
;; will automatically activate all its advice):

;; (defun fuu (&rest numbers)
;;   "Add NUMBERS."

;; subr argument lists can be determined from their documentation string, in
;; Emacs-19 this is the case for some but not all subrs. To accommodate
;; for the cases where the argument lists cannot be determined (e.g., in a
;; v18 Emacs) Advice comes with a specification mechanism that allows the
;; advice programmer to tell advice what the argument list of a certain subr
;; really is.
;;
;; In a v18 Emacs the following will return the &rest idiom:
;;
;; (ad-arglist (symbol-function 'car))

;; To tell advice what the argument list of `car' really is we

;; The defined argument list will be stored on the property list of the

;; @@ Advising interactive subrs:
;; ==============================
;; For the most part there is no difference between advising functions and

;; slightly different advice code for subrs than for functions. This case
;; arises when one wants to access subr arguments in a before/around advice
;; when the arguments were determined by an interactive call to the subr.
;; Advice cannot determine what `interactive' form determines the interactive
;; behavior of the subr, hence, when it calls the original definition in an
;; interactive subr invocation it has to use `call-interactively' to generate
;; the proper interactive behavior. Thus up to that call the arguments of the
;; interactive subr will be nil. For example, the following advice for
;; `kill-buffer' will not work in an interactive invocation...
;;
;; (defadvice kill-buffer (before fg-kill-buffer-hook first act preact comp)
;;   (my-before-kill-buffer-hook (ad-get-arg 0)))

;; ...because the buffer argument will be nil in that case. The way out of

;;
;; (defadvice kill-buffer (before fg-kill-buffer-hook first act preact comp)

;; environments by pieces of advice has an affect during macro expansion
;; but not necessarily during evaluation. In particular, any side effects
;; of pieces of advice will occur during macro expansion.  To also affect
;; the behavior during evaluation time one has to change the value of
;; `ad-return-value' in a piece of after advice. For example:

;; ((a))

;; However, the printing happens during expansion (or byte-compile) time:
;;
;; (macroexpand '(foom '(a)))
;; (quote (a))
;; (list (quote (a)))

;; ==========================
;; Now for something that should be even more rare than advising macros:

;; @@ Dealing with automatic advice activation via `fset/defalias':
;; ================================================================

;; Since Emacs 19.26 the built-in versions of `fset' and `defalias'
;; take care of automatic advice activation, hence, we don't have to
;; hack it anymore by advising `fset/defun/defmacro/byte-code/etc'.

;; The functionality of the new `fset' is as follows:
;;
;;     fset(sym,newdef)
;;       assign NEWDEF to SYM
;;       if (get SYM 'ad-advice-info)
;;          ad-activate-internal(SYM, nil)
;;       return (symbol-function SYM)
;;
;; Whether advised definitions created by automatic activations will be
;; compiled depends on the value of `ad-default-compilation-action'.

;; Since calling `ad-activate-internal' in the built-in definition of `fset' can
;; create major disasters we have to be a bit careful. One precaution is
;; to provide a dummy definition for `ad-activate-internal' which can be used to
;; turn off automatic advice activation (e.g., when `ad-stop-advice' or
;; `ad-recover-normality' are called). Another is to avoid recursive calls
;; to `ad-activate' by using `ad-with-auto-activation-disabled' where
;; appropriate, especially in a safe version of `fset'.

;; For now define `ad-activate-internal' to the dummy definition:
(defun ad-activate-internal (function &optional compile)
  "Automatic advice activation is disabled. `ad-start-advice' enables it."
  nil)

;; This is just a copy of the above:
(defun ad-activate-internal-off (function &optional compile)
  "Automatic advice activation is disabled. `ad-start-advice' enables it."
  nil)

;; @@ Constructing advised definitions:
;; ====================================
;;
;; Main design decisions about the form of advised definitions:
;;
;; A) How will original definitions be called?
;; B) What will argument lists of advised functions look like?
;;
;; Ad A)
;;    I chose to use function indirection for all four types of original
;;    definitions (functions, macros, subrs and special forms), i.e., create
;;    a unique symbol `ad-Orig-<name>' which is fbound to the original
;;    definition and call it according to type and arguments.  Functions and
;;    subrs that don't have any &rest arguments can be called directly in a
;;    `(ad-Orig-<name> ....)' form.  If they have a &rest argument we have to
;;    use `apply'.  Macros will be called with
;;    `(macroexpand '(ad-Orig-<name> ....))', and special forms also need a
;;    form like that with `eval' instead of `macroexpand'.
;;
;; Ad B)
;;    Use original arguments where possible and `(&rest ad-subr-args)'
;;    otherwise, even though this seems to be more complicated and less
;;    uniform than a general `(&rest args)' approach.  My reason to still
;;    do it that way is that in most cases my approach leads to the more
;;    efficient form for the advised function, and portability (e.g., to
;;    make the same advice work regardless of whether something is a
;;    function or a subr) can still be achieved with argument access macros.

;; @@ Caching:
;; ===========
;; Generating an advised definition of a function is moderately expensive,
;; hence, it makes sense to cache it so we can reuse it in appropriate
;; circumstances.  Of course, it only makes sense to reuse a cached
;; definition if the current advice and function definition state is the
;; same as it was at the time when the cached definition was generated.
;; For that purpose we associate every cache with an id so we can verify
;; if it is still valid at a certain point in time.  This id mechanism
;; makes it possible to preactivate advised functions, write the compiled
;; advised definitions to a file and reuse them during the actual
;; activation without having to risk that the resulting definition will be
;; incorrect, well, almost.
;;
;; A cache id is a list with six elements:
;; 1) the list of names of enabled before advices
;; 2) the list of names of enabled around advices
;; 3) the list of names of enabled after advices
;; 4) the type of the original function (macro, subr, etc.)
;; 5) the arglist of the original definition (or t if it was equal to the
;;    arglist of the cached definition)
;; 6) t if the interactive form of the original definition was equal to the
;;    interactive form of the cached definition
;;
;; Here's how a cache can get invalidated or be incorrect:
;; A) a piece of advice used in the cache gets redefined
;; B) the current list of enabled advices is different from the ones used
;;    for the cache
;; C) the type of the original function changed, e.g., a function became a
;;    macro, or a subr became a function
;; D) the arglist of the original function changed
;; E) the interactive form of the original function changed
;; F) a piece of advice used in the cache got redefined before the
;;    defadvice with the cached definition got loaded: This is a PROBLEM!
;;
;; Cases A and B are the normal ones.  A is taken care of by `ad-add-advice'
;; which clears the cache in such a case, B is easily checked during
;; verification at activation time.
;;
;; Cases C, D and E have to be considered if one is slightly paranoid, i.e.,
;; if one considers the case that the original function could be different
;; from the one available at caching time (e.g., for forward advice of
;; functions that get redefined by some packages - such as `eval-region' gets
;; redefined by edebug).  All these cases can be easily checked during
;; verification.  Element 4 of the id lets one check case C, element 5 takes
;; care of case D (using t in the equality case saves some space, because the
;; arglist can be recovered at validation time from the cached definition),
;; and element 6 takes care of case E which is only a problem if the original
;; was actually a function whose interactive form was not overridden by a
;; piece of advice.
;;
;; Case F is the only one which will lead to an incorrect advised function.
;; There is no way to avoid this without storing the complete advice definition
;; in the cache-id which is not feasible.
;;
;; The cache-id of a typical advised function with one piece of advice and
;; no arglist redefinition takes 7 conses which is a small price to pay for
;; the added efficiency.  The validation itself is also pretty cheap, certainly
;; a lot cheaper than reconstructing an advised definition.

;; =================
;; Preactivation can be used to generate compiled advised definitions
;; at compile time without having to give up the dynamic runtime flexibility
;; of the advice mechanism.  Preactivation is a special feature of `defadvice',
;; it involves the following steps:
;;  - remembering the function's current state (definition and advice-info)
;;  - advising it with the defined piece of advice
;;  - clearing its cache
;;  - generating an interpreted advised definition by activating it, this will
;;    make use of all its current active advice and its current definition
;;  - saving the so generated cached definition and id
;;  - resetting the function's advice and definition state to what it was
;;    before the preactivation
;;  - Returning the saved definition and its id to be used in the expansion of
;;    `defadvice' to assign it as an initial cache, hence it will be compiled
;;    at time the `defadvice' gets compiled.
;; Naturally, for preactivation to be effective it has to be applied/compiled
;; at the right time, i.e., when the current state of advices and function
;; definition exactly reflects the state at activation time.  Should that not
;; be the case, the precompiled definition will just be discarded and a new

  "Define a piece of advice for FUNCTION (a symbol).
The syntax of `defadvice' is as follows:

  \(defadvice FUNCTION (CLASS NAME [POSITION] [ARGLIST] FLAG...)
    [DOCSTRING] [INTERACTIVE-FORM]
    BODY...)

FUNCTION ::= Name of the function to be advised.
CLASS ::= `before' | `around' | `after' | `activation' | `deactivation'.
NAME ::= Non-nil symbol that names this piece of advice.
POSITION ::= `first' | `last' | NUMBER. Optional, defaults to `first',
    see also `ad-add-advice'.
ARGLIST ::= An optional argument list to be used for the advised function
    instead of the argument list of the original.  The first one found in
    before/around/after-advices will be used.
FLAG ::= `protect'|`disable'|`activate'|`compile'|`preactivate'|`freeze'.
    All flags can be specified with unambiguous initial substrings.
DOCSTRING ::= Optional documentation for this piece of advice.
INTERACTIVE-FORM ::= Optional interactive form to be used for the advised
    function.  The first one found in before/around/after-advices will be used.
BODY ::= Any s-expression.

Semantics of the various flags:
`protect': The piece of advice will be protected against non-local exits in
any code that precedes it.  If any around-advice of a function is protected
then automatically all around-advices will be protected (the complete onion).

`activate': All advice of FUNCTION will be activated immediately if
FUNCTION has been properly defined prior to this application of `defadvice'.

`compile': In conjunction with `activate' specifies that the resulting
advised function should be compiled.

`disable': The defined advice will be disabled, hence, it will not be used
during activation until somebody enables it.

`preactivate': Preactivates the advised FUNCTION at macro-expansion/compile
time.  This generates a compiled advised definition according to the current
advice state that will be used during activation if appropriate.  Only use
this if the `defadvice' gets actually compiled.

`freeze': Expands the `defadvice' into a redefining `defun/defmacro' according
to this particular single advice.  No other advice information will be saved.
Frozen advices cannot be undone, they behave like a hard redefinition of
the advised function.  `freeze' implies `activate' and `preactivate'.  The
documentation of the advised function can be dumped onto the `DOC' file
during preloading.

See Info node `(elisp)Advising Functions' for comprehensive documentation."
