;;; Commentary:

;; PURPOSE:
;; This package features a function called ff-find-other-file, which performs
;; the following function:
;;
;;     When in a .c file, find the first corresponding .h file in a set
;;     of directories and display it, and vice-versa from the .h file.
;;
;; Many people maintain their include file in a directory separate to their
;; src directory, and very often you may be editing a file and have a need to
;; visit the "other file". This package searches through a set of directories
;; to find that file.
;;
;; THE "OTHER FILE", or "corresponding file", generally has the same basename,
;; and just has a different extension as described by the ff-other-file-alist
;; variable:
;;
;;   '(("\\.cc$"  (".hh" ".h"))
;;     ("\\.hh$"  (".cc" ".C" ".CC" ".cxx" ".cpp")))
;;
;; If the current file has a .cc extension, ff-find-other-file will attempt
;; to look for a .hh file, and then a .h file in some directory as described
;; below. The mechanism here is to replace the matched part of the original
;; filename with each of the corresponding extensions in turn.
;;
;; Alternatively, there are situations where the filename of the other file
;; cannot be determined easily with regexps. For example, a .c file may
;; have two corresponding .h files, for its public and private parts, or
;; the filename for the .c file contains part of the pathname of the .h
;; file, as between src/fooZap.cc and include/FOO/zap.hh. In that case, the
;; format above can be changed to include a function to be called when the
;; current file matches the regexp:
;;
;;   '(("\\.cc$"  cc--function)
;;     ("\\.hh$"  hh-function))
;;
;; These functions must return a list consisting of the possible names of the
;; corresponding file, with or without path. There is no real need for more
;; than one function, and one could imagine the following value for cc-other-
;; file-alist:
;;
;;    (setq cc-other-file-alist
;;        '(("\\.cc$"  ff-cc-hh-converter)
;;          ("\\.hh$"  ff-cc-hh-converter)
;;          ("\\.c$"   (".h"))
;;          ("\\.h$"   (".c" ".cc" ".C" ".CC" ".cxx" ".cpp"))))
;;
;; ff-cc-hh-converter is included at the end of this file as a reference.
;;
;; SEARCHING is carried out in a set of directories specified by the
;; ff-search-directories variable:
;;
;;     ("." "../../src" "../include/*" "/usr/local/*/src/*" "$PROJECT/src")
;;
;; This means that the corresponding file will be searched for first in
;; the current directory, then in ../../src, then in one of the directories
;; under ../include, and so on. The star is _not_ a general wildcard
;; character: it just indicates that the subdirectories of this directory
;; must each be searched in turn. Environment variables will be expanded in
;; the ff-search-directories variable.
;;
;; If the point is on a #include line, the file to be #included is searched
;; for in the same manner. This can be disabled with the ff-ignore-include
;; variable, or by calling ff-get-other-file instead of ff-find-other-file.
;;
;; If the file was not found, ff-find-other-file will prompt you for where
;; to create the new "corresponding file" (defaults to the current directory),
;; unless the variable ff-always-try-to-create is set to nil.
;;
;; GIVEN AN ARGUMENT (with the ^U prefix), ff-find-other-file will get the
;; other file in another (the other?) window (see find-file-other-window and
;; switch-to-buffer-other-window). This can be set on a more permanent basis
;; by setting ff-always-in-other-window to t in which case the ^U prefix will
;; do the opposite of what was described above.
;;
;; THERE ARE FIVE AVAILABLE HOOKS, called in this order if non-nil:
;;
;; - ff-pre-find-hook     - called before the search for the other file starts
;; - ff-not-found-hook    - called when the other file could not be found
;; - ff-pre-load-hook     - called just before the other file is 'loaded'
;; - ff-file-created-hook - called when the other file is created
;; - ff-post-load-hook    - called just after the other file is 'loaded'
;;
;; The *load-hook allow you to place point where you want it in the other
;; file.
