2005-05-22 Luc Teirlinck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * emacs-lisp/easy-mmode.el (define-global-minor-mode): Use `after-change-major-mode-hook' instead of `find-file-hook'. introduced a bug where (typically) global-font-lock chooses the wrong keywords (the ones of the parent mode rather than ones of the actual major mode). Well, it fixed one bug, but it created more occurrences of another existing bug. The bug it fixed relates to timers and processes calling mode functions. The other existing bug that it creates more occurrences of is that if _anything_ enables font-lock before the final mode is into place (for instance a function added by a user to a hook) font-lock chooses the wrong keywords. Granted, my change makes this much more likely to happen (of course). But even without my change it can happen. The following changes fix both bugs, by using post-command-hook to check whether font-lock was enabled for the correct mode and adapting the turn-on function to be able to correct it. I still will have to see whether this automatically fixes the second bug for other functions defined with define-global-mode, or whether some of them need a slightly different turn-on function too. ===File ~/font-core-diff==================================== *** font-core.el 22 May 2005 16:46:07 -0500 1.28 --- font-core.el 25 May 2005 21:57:50 -0500 *************** *** 284,291 **** (let (inhibit-quit) (turn-on-font-lock)))) (easy-mmode-define-global-mode ! global-font-lock-mode font-lock-mode turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled :extra-args (dummy)) ;;; End of Global Font Lock mode. --- 284,295 ---- (let (inhibit-quit) (turn-on-font-lock)))) + (defun turn-on-font-lock-as-appropriate () + (let (font-lock-set-defaults) + (turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled))) + (easy-mmode-define-global-mode ! global-font-lock-mode font-lock-mode turn-on-font-lock-as-appropriate :extra-args (dummy)) ;;; End of Global Font Lock mode. ============================================================ ===File ~/easy-mmode-diff=================================== *** easy-mmode.el 22 May 2005 16:50:33 -0500 1.63 --- easy-mmode.el 25 May 2005 22:37:54 -0500 *************** *** 263,268 **** --- 263,271 ---- ;;; make global minor mode ;;; + (defvar easy-mmode-stored-mode nil) + (make-variable-buffer-local 'easy-mmode-stored-mode) + ;;;###autoload (defalias 'easy-mmode-define-global-mode 'define-global-minor-mode) ;;;###autoload *************** *** 278,283 **** --- 281,287 ---- (group nil) (extra-args nil) (buffers (intern (concat global-mode-name "-buffers"))) + (check-buffers (intern (concat "check-" global-mode-name "-buffers"))) (cmmh (intern (concat global-mode-name "-cmmh")))) ;; Check keys. *************** *** 307,314 **** --- 311,320 ---- (if ,global-mode (progn (add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook ',buffers) + (add-hook 'find-file-hook ',buffers) (add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook ',cmmh)) (remove-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook ',buffers) + (remove-hook 'find-file-hook ',buffers) (remove-hook 'change-major-mode-hook ',cmmh)) ;; Go through existing buffers. *************** *** 325,341 **** ;; The function that calls TURN-ON in each buffer.
