 ;;; Commentary:
 
-;; This package provides the compile and grep facilities documented in
-;; the Emacs user's manual.
+;; This package provides the compile facilities documented in the Emacs user's
+;; manual.
 
 ;;; Code:
 
+;; This is the parsing engine for compile:
+(require 'font-lock) ; needed to get font-lock-value-in-major-mode
+
+;;; This mode uses some complex data-structures:
+
+;;; LOC (or location) is a list of (COLUMN LINE FILE-STRUCTURE)
+
+;; COLUMN and LINE are numbers parsed from an error message.  COLUMN and maybe
+;; LINE will be nil for a message that doesn't contain them.  Then the
+;; location refers to a indented beginning of line or beginning of file.
+;; Once any location in some file has been jumped to, the list is extended to
+;; (COLUMN LINE FILE-STRUCTURE MARKER . VISITED) for all LOCs pertaining to
+;; that file.
+;; MARKER initially points to LINE and COLUMN in a buffer visiting that file.
+;; Being a marker it sticks to some text, when the buffer grows or shrinks
+;; before that point.  VISITED is t if we have jumped there, else nil.
+
+;;; FILE-STRUCTURE is a list of ((FILENAME . DIRECTORY) FORMATS (LINE LOC ...)
+;;; ...)
+
+;; FILENAME is a string parsed from an error message.  DIRECTORY is a string
+;; obtained by following directory change messages.  DIRECTORY will be nil for
+;; an absolute filename.  FORMATS is a list of formats to apply to FILENAME if
+;; a file of that name can't be found.
+;; The rest of the list is an alist of elements with LINE as key.  The keys
+;; are either nil or line numbers.  If present, nil comes first, followed by
+;; the numbers in decreasing order.  The LOCs for each line are again an alist
+;; ordered the same way.  Note that the whole file structure is referenced in
+;; every LOC.
+
+;;; MESSAGE is a list of (LOC TYPE END-LOC)
+
+;; TYPE is 0 for info or 1 for warning if the message matcher identified it as
+;; such, 2 otherwise (for a real error).  END-LOC is a LOC pointing to the
+;; other end, if the parsed message contained a range.	If the end of the
+;; range didn't specify a COLUMN, it defaults to -1, meaning end of line.
+;; These are the value of the `message' text-properties in the compilation
+;; buffer.

+Instead of an alist element, you can use a symbol, which is
+looked up in `compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist'.  You can see
+the predefined symbols and their effects in the file
+`etc/compilation.txt' (linked below if your are customizing this).
+
+Each elt has the form (REGEXP FILE [LINE COLUMN TYPE HYPERLINK
+HIGHLIGHT...]).  If REGEXP matches, the FILE'th subexpression
+gives the file name, and the LINE'th subexpression gives the line
+number.  The COLUMN'th subexpression gives the column number on
+that line.

-    ("^\\s-*\\[[^]]*\\]\\s-*\\(.+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):[0-9]+:[0-9]+:" 1 2 3)
+If FILE, LINE or COLUMN are nil or that index didn't match, that
+information is not present on the matched line.  In that case the
+file name is assumed to be the same as the previous one in the
+buffer, line number defaults to 1 and column defaults to
+beginning of line's indentation.
+
+FILE can also have the form (FILE FORMAT...), where the FORMATs
+\(e.g. \"%s.c\") will be applied in turn to the recognized file
+name, until a file of that name is found.  Or FILE can also be a
+function to return the filename.
 
-    ;; Ant Java: works for javac
-    ("^\\s-*\\[[^]]*\\]\\s-*\\(.+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):" 1 2)
+LINE can also be of the form (LINE . END-LINE) meaning a range
+of lines.  COLUMN can also be of the form (COLUMN . END-COLUMN)
+meaning a range of columns starting on LINE and ending on
+END-LINE, if that matched.
 
-    )
+TYPE is 2 or nil for a real error or 1 for warning or 0 for info.
+TYPE can also be of the form (WARNING . INFO).  In that case this
+will be equivalent to 1 if the WARNING'th subexpression matched
+or else equivalent to 0 if the INFO'th subexpression matched.
+See `compilation-error-face', `compilation-warning-face',
+`compilation-info-face' and `compilation-skip-threshold'.
