;;; Commentary:

;; The main exported function is `syntax-ppss'.  You might also need
;; to call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache' or to add it to
;; before-change-functions'(although this is automatically done by
;; syntax-ppss when needed, but that might fail if syntax-ppss is
;; called in a context where before-change-functions is temporarily
;; let-bound to nil).

;;; Todo:

;; - do something about the case where the syntax-table is changed.
;;   This typically happens with tex-mode and its `$' operator.
;; - new functions `syntax-state', ... to replace uses of parse-partial-state
;;   with something higher-level (similar to syntax-ppss-context).
;; - interaction with mmm-mode.

;;; Code:

;; Note: PPSS stands for `parse-partial-sexp state'

(defvar syntax-propertize-function nil
  ;; Rather than a -functions hook, this is a -function because it's easier
  ;; to do a single scan than several scans: with multiple scans, one cannot
  ;; assume that the text before point has been propertized, so syntax-ppss
  ;; gives unreliable results (and stores them in its cache to boot, so we'd
  ;; have to flush that cache between each function, and we couldn't use
  ;; syntax-ppss-flush-cache since that would not only flush the cache but also
  ;; reset syntax-propertize--done which should not be done in this case).
  "Mode-specific function to apply `syntax-table' text properties.
It is the work horse of `syntax-propertize', which is called by things like
Font-Lock and indentation.

It is given two arguments, START and END: the start and end of the text to
which `syntax-table' might need to be applied.  Major modes can use this to
override the buffer's syntax table for special syntactic constructs that
cannot be handled just by the buffer's syntax-table.

The specified function may call `syntax-ppss' on any position
before END, but if it calls `syntax-ppss' on some
position and later modifies the buffer on some earlier position,
then it is its responsibility to call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache' to flush
the now obsolete ppss info from the cache.

Note: When this variable is a function, it must apply _all_ the
`syntax-table' properties needed in the given text interval.
Using both this function and other means to apply these
properties won't work properly.")

  "Special hook run just before proceeding to propertize a region.
This is used to allow major modes to help `syntax-propertize' find safe buffer
positions as beginning and end of the propertized region.  Its most common use
is to solve the problem of /identification/ of multiline elements by providing
a function that tries to find such elements and move the boundaries such that
they do not fall in the middle of one.
Each function is called with two arguments (START and END) and it should return
either a cons (NEW-START . NEW-END) or nil if no adjustment should be made.
These functions are run in turn repeatedly until they all return nil.
Put first the functions more likely to cause a change and cheaper to compute.")

The function will scan the buffer, applying the rules where they match.
The buffer is scanned a single time, like \"lex\" would, rather than once
per rule.

Each RULE can be a symbol, in which case that symbol's value should be,
at macro-expansion time, a precompiled set of rules, as returned
by `syntax-propertize-precompile-rules'.

Otherwise, RULE should have the form (REGEXP HIGHLIGHT1 ... HIGHLIGHTn), where
REGEXP is an expression (evaluated at time of macro-expansion) that returns
a regexp, and where HIGHLIGHTs have the form (NUMBER SYNTAX) which means to
apply the property SYNTAX to the chars matched by the subgroup NUMBER
of the regular expression, if NUMBER did match.
SYNTAX is an expression that returns a value to apply as `syntax-table'
property.  Some expressions are handled specially:
- if SYNTAX is a string, then it is converted with `string-to-syntax';
- if SYNTAX has the form (prog1 EXP . EXPS) then the value returned by EXP
  will be applied to the buffer before running EXPS and if EXP is a string it
  is also converted with `string-to-syntax'.
The SYNTAX expression is responsible to save the `match-data' if needed
for subsequent HIGHLIGHTs.
Also SYNTAX is free to move point, in which case RULES may not be applied to
some parts of the text or may be applied several times to other parts.

Note: There may be at most nine back-references in the REGEXPs of
all RULES in total."
