;;; Commentary:
;; ############################################################################

;; This package provides an Emacs major mode for editing VHDL code.
;; It includes the following features:

;;   - Highlighting of VHDL syntax
;;   - Indentation based on versatile syntax analysis
;;   - Template insertion (electrification) for most VHDL constructs
;;   - Insertion of customizable VHDL file headers
;;   - Word completion (dynamic abbreviations)
;;   - Menu containing all VHDL Mode commands
;;   - Index menu (jump index to main units and blocks in a file)
;;   - Source file menu (menu of all source files in current directory)
;;   - Source file compilation (syntax analysis)
;;   - Postscript printing with fontification
;;   - Lower and upper case keywords
;;   - Hiding blocks of code
;;   - Alignment functions
;;   - Easy customization
;;   - Works under GNU Emacs and XEmacs

  "*Association list of syntactic element symbols and indentation offsets.
As described below, each cons cell in this list has the form:

    (SYNTACTIC-SYMBOL . OFFSET)

When a line is indented, vhdl-mode first determines the syntactic
context of the line by generating a list of symbols called syntactic
elements.  This list can contain more than one syntactic element and
the global variable `vhdl-syntactic-context' contains the context list
for the line being indented.  Each element in this list is actually a
cons cell of the syntactic symbol and a buffer position.  This buffer
position is call the relative indent point for the line.  Some
syntactic symbols may not have a relative indent point associated with
them.

After the syntactic context list for a line is generated, vhdl-mode
calculates the absolute indentation for the line by looking at each
syntactic element in the list.  First, it compares the syntactic
element against the SYNTACTIC-SYMBOL's in `vhdl-offsets-alist'.  When it
finds a match, it adds the OFFSET to the column of the relative indent
point.  The sum of this calculation for each element in the syntactic
list is the absolute offset for line being indented.

If the syntactic element does not match any in the `vhdl-offsets-alist',
an error is generated if `vhdl-strict-syntax-p' is non-nil, otherwise
the element is ignored.

Actually, OFFSET can be an integer, a function, a variable, or one of
the following symbols: `+', `-', `++', or `--'.  These latter
designate positive or negative multiples of `vhdl-basic-offset',
respectively: *1, *-1, *2, and *-2. If OFFSET is a function, it is
called with a single argument containing the cons of the syntactic
element symbol and the relative indent point.  The function should
return an integer offset.

Here is the current list of valid syntactic element symbols:

 string                 -- inside multi-line string
 block-open             -- statement block open
 block-close            -- statement block close
 statement              -- a VHDL statement
 statement-cont         -- a continuation of a VHDL statement
 statement-block-intro  -- the first line in a new statement block
 statement-case-intro   -- the first line in a case alternative block
 case-alternative       -- a case statement alternative clause
 comment                -- a line containing only a comment
 arglist-intro          -- the first line in an argument list
 arglist-cont           -- subsequent argument list lines when no
                           arguments follow on the same line as the

(defun vhdl-mode ()
  "Major mode for editing VHDL code.

Usage:
------

- TEMPLATE INSERTION (electrification) (`\\[vhdl-outer-space]'): After typing
  a VHDL keyword and entering `\\[vhdl-outer-space]', you are prompted for
  arguments while a template is generated for that VHDL construct. Typing
  `\\[vhdl-return]' (or `\\[keyboard-quit]' in yes-no queries) at the first
  prompt aborts the current template generation. Typing `\\[just-one-space]'
  after a keyword inserts a space without calling the template generator.
  Automatic calling of the template generators (i.e. electrification) can be
  disabled (enabled) by setting the variable `vhdl-electric-mode' to nil
  (non-nil) or by typing `\\[vhdl-electric-mode]' (toggles electrification
  mode).
  Template generators can be called using the VHDL menu, the key bindings, or
  by typing the keyword (first word of menu entry not in parenthesis) and
  `\\[vhdl-outer-space]'. The following abbreviations can also be used:
  arch, attr, conc, conf, comp, cons, func, inst, pack, ret, sig, sub, var.

- HEADER INSERTION (`\\[vhdl-header]'): A customized header can be inserted
  including the actual file name, user name, and current date as well as
  prompted title strings. A custom header can be defined in a separate file
  (see custom variable `vhdl-header-file').

- STUTTERING (double strike): Double striking of some keys inserts cumbersome
  VHDL syntax elements. Stuttering can be disabled by variable
  `vhdl-stutter-mode' and be toggled by typing `\\[vhdl-stutter-mode]'.
      ''   -->  \"             [   -->  (        --    -->  comment
      ;;   -->  \" : \"         [[  -->  [        --CR  -->  comment-out code
      ;;;  -->  \" := \"        ]   -->  )        ---   -->  horizontal line
      ..   -->  \" => \"        ]]  -->  ]        ----  -->  display comment
      ,,   -->  \" <= \"        aa  -->  A    -   zz  -->  Z

- WORD COMPLETION (`\\[vhdl-tab]'): Typing `\\[vhdl-tab]' after a (not
  completed) word looks for a word in the buffer that starts alike and
  inserts it. Re-typing `\\[vhdl-tab]' toggles through alternative word
  completions. This also works in the minibuffer (i.e. in template generator
  prompts).

  Typing `\\[vhdl-tab]' after a non-word character indents the line if at the
  beginning of a line (i.e. no preceding non-blank characters), and inserts a
  tabulator stop otherwise. `\\[tab-to-tab-stop]' always inserts a tabulator
  stop.

- COMMENTS (`--', `---', `----', `--CR'):
      `--'       puts a single comment.
      `---'      draws a horizontal line for separating code segments.
      `----'     inserts a display comment, i.e. two horizontal lines with a
                 comment in between.
      `--CR'     comments out code on that line. Re-hitting CR comments out
                 following lines.
      `\\[vhdl-comment-uncomment-region]'  comments out a region if not
                 commented out, uncomments out a region if already
                 commented out.

  You are prompted for comments after object definitions (i.e. signals,
  variables, constants, ports) and after subprogram and process specifications
  if variable `vhdl-prompt-for-comments' is non-nil. Comments are
  automatically inserted as additional labels (e.g. after begin statements)
  and help comments if `vhdl-self-insert-comments' is non-nil.
  Inline comments (i.e. comments after a piece of code on the same line) are
  indented at least to `vhdl-comment-column'. Comments go at maximum to
  `vhdl-end-comment-column'. `\\[vhdl-return]' after a space in a comment will
  open a new comment line. Typing beyond `vhdl-end-comment-column' in a
  comment automatically opens a new comment line. `\\[fill-paragraph]'
  re-fills multi-line comments.

- INDENTATION: `\\[vhdl-tab]' indents a line if at the beginning of the line.
  The amount of indentation is specified by variable `vhdl-basic-offset'.
  `\\[vhdl-indent-line]' always indents the current line (is bound to `TAB'
  if variable `vhdl-intelligent-tab' is nil). Indentation can be done for
  an entire region (`\\[indent-region]') or buffer (menu). Argument and
  port lists are indented normally (nil) or relative to the opening
  parenthesis (non-nil) according to variable `vhdl-argument-list-indent'.
  If variable `vhdl-indent-tabs-mode' is nil, spaces are used instead of tabs.
  `\\[tabify]' and `\\[untabify]' allow to convert spaces to tabs and vice
  versa.

- ALIGNMENT: `\\[vhdl-align-noindent-region]' aligns port maps, signal and
  variable assignments, inline comments, some keywords, etc., on consecutive
  lines relative to each other within a defined region.
  `\\[vhdl-align-comment-region]' only aligns inline comments (i.e. comments
  that are at the end of a line of code). Some templates are automatically
  aligned after generation if custom variable `vhdl-auto-align' is non-nil.

- KEY BINDINGS: Key bindings (`C-c ...') exist for most commands (see in menu).

- VHDL MENU: All commands can be called from the VHDL menu.

- INDEX MENU: For each VHDL source file, an index of the contained entities,
  architectures, packages, procedures, processes, etc., is created as a menu.
  Selecting a meny entry causes the cursor to jump to the corresponding
  position in the file. Controlled by variable `vhdl-index-menu'.

- SOURCE FILE MENU: A menu containing all VHDL source files in the directory
  of the current file is generated. Selecting a menu entry loads the file.
  Controlled by variable `vhdl-source-file-menu'.

- SOURCE FILE COMPILATION: The syntax of the current buffer can be analyzed
  by calling a VHDL compiler (menu, `\\[vhdl-compile]'). The compiler to be
  used is defined by variable `vhdl-compiler'. Currently supported are
  `cadence', `ikos', `quickhdl', `synopsys', `vantage', `viewlogic', and
  `v-system'. Not all compilers are tested. Please contact me for
  incorporating additional VHDL compilers. An entire hierarchy of source
  files can be compiled by the `make' command (menu, `\\[vhdl-make]').
  This only works if an appropriate `Makefile' exists. Compiler options can
  be defined by variable `vhdl-compiler-options'.

- KEYWORD CASE: Lower and upper case for keywords, predefined types, predefined
  attributes, and predefined enumeration values is supported. If the variable
  `vhdl-upper-case-keywords' is set to non-nil, keywords can be typed in
  lower case and are converted into upper case automatically (not for types,
  attributes, and enumeration values). The case of keywords, types,
  attributes, and enumeration values can be fixed for an entire region (menu)
  or buffer (`\\[vhdl-fix-case-buffer]') according to the variables
  `vhdl-upper-case-{keywords,types,attributes,enum-values}'.

- HIGHLIGHTING (fontification): Keywords, predefined types, predefined
  attributes, and predefined enumeration values (controlled by variable
  `vhdl-highlight-keywords'), as well as comments, strings, and template
  prompts are highlighted using different colors. Unit and subprogram names
  as well as labels are highlighted if variable `vhdl-highlight-names' is
  non-nil. The default colors from `font-lock.el' are used if variable
  `vhdl-use-default-colors' is non-nil. Otherwise, an optimized set of colors
  is taken, which uses bright colors for signals and muted colors for
  everything else. Variable `vhdl-use-default-faces' does the same on
  monochrome monitors.

  Signal highlighting allows distinction between clock, reset,
  status/control, data, and test signals according to some signal
  naming convention. Their syntax is defined by variables
  `vhdl-{clock,reset,control,data,test}-signal-syntax'. Signal coloring
  is controlled by the variable `vhdl-highlight-signals'. The default
  signal naming convention is as follows:

  Signal attributes:
      C  clock                   S  control and status
      R  asynchronous reset      D  data and address
      I  synchronous reset       T  test

  Syntax:
      signal name  ::=  \"[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*x[CRISDT][a-zA-Z0-9]*\"
      signal identifier -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      delimiter --------------------------^
      above signal attributes -------------^^^^^^^^
      additional attributes -----------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^

  (`x' is used as delimiter because `_' is reserved by the VITAL standard.)
  Examples: ClkxCfast, ResetxRB, ClearxI, SelectDataxS, DataxD, ScanEnablexT.

  If all VHDL words are written in lower case (i.e. variables
  `vhdl-upper-case-{keywords,types,attributes,enum-values}' are set to nil),
  make highlighting case sensitive by setting variable
  `vhdl-highlight-case-sensitive' to non-nil. This way, only names fulfilling
  the above signal syntax including case are highlighted.

- HIDE/SHOW: The code of entire VHDL processes or blocks can be hidden using
  the `Hide/Show' menu or by pressing `S-mouse-2' within the code
  (not in XEmacs).

- PRINTING: Postscript printing with different fonts (`ps-print-color-p' is
  nil, default faces from `font-lock.el' used if `vhdl-use-default-faces' is
  non-nil) or colors (`ps-print-color-p' is non-nil) is possible using the
  standard Emacs postscript printing commands. Variable `vhdl-print-two-column'
  defines appropriate default settings for nice landscape two-column printing.
  The paper format can be set by variable `ps-paper-type'.

- CUSTOMIZATION: All variables can easily be customized using the `Customize'
  menu entry. For some variables, customization only takes effect after
  re-starting Emacs. Customization can also be done globally (i.e. site-wide,
  read INSTALL file). Variables of VHDL Mode must NOT be set using the
  `vhdl-mode-hook' in the .emacs file anymore (delete them if they still are).
