|
|
|
|
;; @ Introduction:
|
|
;; ===============
|
|
;; This package implements a full-fledged Lisp-style advice mechanism
|
|
;; for Emacs Lisp. Advice is a clean and efficient way to modify the
|
|
;; behavior of Emacs Lisp functions without having to keep personal
|
|
;; modified copies of such functions around. A great number of such
|
|
;; modifications can be achieved by treating the original function as a
|
|
;; black box and specifying a different execution environment for it
|
|
;; with a piece of advice. Think of a piece of advice as a kind of fancy
|
|
;; hook that you can attach to any function/macro/subr.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Highlights:
|
|
;; =============
|
|
;; - Clean definition of multiple, named before/around/after advices
|
|
;; for functions, macros, subrs and special forms
|
|
;; - Full control over the arguments an advised function will receive,
|
|
;; the binding environment in which it will be executed, as well as the
|
|
;; value it will return.
|
|
;; - Allows re/definition of interactive behavior for functions and subrs
|
|
;; - Every piece of advice can have its documentation string which will be
|
|
;; combined with the original documentation of the advised function at
|
|
;; call-time of `documentation' for proper command-key substitution.
|
|
;; - The execution of every piece of advice can be protected against error
|
|
;; and non-local exits in preceding code or advices.
|
|
;; - Simple argument access either by name, or, more portable but as
|
|
;; efficient, via access macros
|
|
;; - Allows the specification of a different argument list for the advised
|
|
;; version of a function.
|
|
;; - Advised functions can be byte-compiled either at file-compile time
|
|
;; (see preactivation) or activation time.
|
|
;; - Separation of advice definition and activation
|
|
;; - Forward advice is possible, that is
|
|
;; as yet undefined or autoload functions can be advised without having to
|
|
;; preload the file in which they are defined.
|
|
;; - Forward redefinition is possible because around advice can be used to
|
|
;; completely redefine a function.
|
|
;; - A caching mechanism for advised definition provides for cheap deactivation
|
|
;; and reactivation of advised functions.
|
|
;; - Preactivation allows efficient construction and compilation of advised
|
|
;; definitions at file compile time without giving up the flexibility of
|
|
;; the advice mechanism.
|
|
;; - En/disablement mechanism allows the use of different "views" of advised
|
|
;; functions depending on what pieces of advice are currently en/disabled
|
|
;; - Provides manipulation mechanisms for sets of advised functions via
|
|
;; regular expressions that match advice names
|
|
|
|
;; @ How to get Advice for Emacs-18:
|
|
;; =================================
|
|
;; `advice18.el', a version of Advice that also works in Emacs-18 is available
|
|
;; either via anonymous ftp from `ftp.cs.buffalo.edu (128.205.32.9)' with
|
|
;; pathname `/pub/Emacs/advice18.el', or from one of the Emacs Lisp archive
|
|
;; sites, or send email to <hans@cs.buffalo.edu> and I'll mail it to you.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Overview, or how to read this file:
|
|
;; =====================================
|
|
;; NOTE: This documentation is slightly out of date. In particular, all the
|
|
;; references to Emacs-18 are obsolete now, because it is not any longer
|
|
;; supported by this version of Advice. An up-to-date version will soon be
|
|
;; available as an info file (thanks to the kind help of Jack Vinson and
|
|
;; David M. Smith). Until then you can use `outline-mode' to help you read
|
|
;; this documentation (set `outline-regexp' to `";; @+"').
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The four major sections of this file are:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; @ This initial information ...installation, customization etc.
|
|
;; @ Advice documentation: ...general documentation
|
|
;; @ Foo games: An advice tutorial ...teaches about Advice by example
|
|
;; @ Advice implementation: ...actual code, yeah!!
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The latter three are actual headings which you can search for
|
|
;; directly in case `outline-mode' doesn't work for you.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Restrictions:
|
|
;; ===============
|
|
;; - This version of Advice only works for Emacs 19.26 and later. It uses
|
|
;; new versions of the built-in functions `fset/defalias' which are not
|
|
;; yet available in Lucid Emacs, hence, it won't work there.
|
|
;; - Advised functions/macros/subrs will only exhibit their advised behavior
|
|
;; when they are invoked via their function cell. This means that advice will
|
|
;; not work for the following:
|
|
;; + advised subrs that are called directly from other subrs or C-code
|
|
;; + advised subrs that got replaced with their byte-code during
|
|
;; byte-compilation (e.g., car)
|
|
;; + advised macros which were expanded during byte-compilation before
|
|
;; their advice was activated.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Credits:
|
|
;; ==========
|
|
;; This package is an extension and generalization of packages such as
|
|
;; insert-hooks.el written by Noah S. Friedman, and advise.el written by
|
|
;; Raul J. Acevedo. Some ideas used in here come from these packages,
|
|
;; others come from the various Lisp advice mechanisms I've come across
|
|
;; so far, and a few are simply mine.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Comments, suggestions, bug reports:
|
|
;; =====================================
|
|
;; If you find any bugs, have suggestions for new advice features, find the
|
|
;; documentation wrong, confusing, incomplete, or otherwise unsatisfactory,
|
|
;; have any questions about Advice, or have otherwise enlightening
|
|
;; comments feel free to send me email at <hans@cs.buffalo.edu>.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Safety Rules and Emergency Exits:
|
|
;; ===================================
|
|
;; Before we begin: CAUTION!!
|
|
;; Advice provides you with a lot of rope to hang yourself on very
|
|
;; easily accessible trees, so, here are a few important things you
|
|
;; should know: Once Advice has been started with `ad-start-advice'
|
|
;; (which happens automatically when you load this file), it
|
|
;; generates an advised definition of the `documentation' function, and
|
|
;; it will enable automatic advice activation when functions get defined.
|
|
;; All of this can be undone at any time with `M-x ad-stop-advice'.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; If you experience any strange behavior/errors etc. that you attribute to
|
|
;; Advice or to some ill-advised function do one of the following:
|
|
|
|
;; - M-x ad-deactivate FUNCTION (if you have a definite suspicion what
|
|
;; function gives you problems)
|
|
;; - M-x ad-deactivate-all (if you don't have a clue what's going wrong)
|
|
;; - M-x ad-stop-advice (if you think the problem is related to the
|
|
;; advised functions used by Advice itself)
|
|
;; - M-x ad-recover-normality (for real emergencies)
|
|
;; - If none of the above solves your Advice-related problem go to another
|
|
;; terminal, kill your Emacs process and send me some hate mail.
|
|
|
|
;; The first three measures have restarts, i.e., once you've figured out
|
|
;; the problem you can reactivate advised functions with either `ad-activate',
|
|
;; `ad-activate-all', or `ad-start-advice'. `ad-recover-normality' unadvises
|
|
;; everything so you won't be able to reactivate any advised functions, you'll
|
|
;; have to stick with their standard incarnations for the rest of the session.
|
|
|
|
;; IMPORTANT: With Advice loaded always do `M-x ad-deactivate-all' before
|
|
;; you byte-compile a file, because advised special forms and macros can lead
|
|
;; to unwanted compilation results. When you are done compiling use
|
|
;; `M-x ad-activate-all' to go back to the advised state of all your
|
|
;; advised functions.
|
|
|
|
;; RELAX: Advice is pretty safe even if you are oblivious to the above.
|
|
;; I use it extensively and haven't run into any serious trouble in a long
|
|
;; time. Just wanted you to be warned.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Customization:
|
|
;; ================
|
|
|
|
;; Look at the documentation of `ad-redefinition-action' for possible values
|
|
;; of this variable. Its default value is `warn' which will print a warning
|
|
;; message when an already defined advised function gets redefined with a
|
|
;; new original definition and de/activated.
|
|
|
|
;; Look at the documentation of `ad-default-compilation-action' for possible
|
|
;; values of this variable. Its default value is `maybe' which will compile
|
|
;; advised definitions during activation in case the byte-compiler is already
|
|
;; loaded. Otherwise, it will leave them uncompiled.
|
|
|
|
;; @ Motivation:
|
|
;; =============
|
|
;; Before I go on explaining how advice works, here are four simple examples
|
|
;; how this package can be used. The first three are very useful, the last one
|
|
;; is just a joke:
|
|
|
|
;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (before existing-buffers-only activate)
|
|
;; "When called interactively switch to existing buffers only, unless
|
|
;;when called with a prefix argument."
|
|
;; (interactive
|
|
;; (list (read-buffer "Switch to buffer: " (other-buffer)
|
|
;; (null current-prefix-arg)))))
|
|
;;
|
|
;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (around confirm-non-existing-buffers activate)
|
|
;; "Switch to non-existing buffers only upon confirmation."
|
|
;; (interactive "BSwitch to buffer: ")
|
|
;; (if (or (get-buffer (ad-get-arg 0))
|
|
;; (y-or-n-p (format "`%s' does not exist, create? " (ad-get-arg 0))))
|
|
;; ad-do-it))
|
|
;;
|
|
;;(defadvice find-file (before existing-files-only activate)
|
|
;; "Find existing files only"
|
|
;; (interactive "fFind file: "))
|
|
;;
|
|
;;(defadvice car (around interactive activate)
|
|
;; "Make `car' an interactive function."
|
|
;; (interactive "xCar of list: ")
|
|
;; ad-do-it
|
|
;; (if (interactive-p)
|
|
;; (message "%s" ad-return-value)))

|
|
;; @@ Defining a piece of advice with `defadvice':
|
|
;; ===============================================
|
|
;; The main means of defining a piece of advice is the macro `defadvice',
|
|
;; there is no interactive way of specifying a piece of advice. A call to
|
|
;; `defadvice' has the following syntax which is similar to the syntax of
|
|
;; `defun/defmacro':
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (defadvice <function> (<class> <name> [<position>] [<arglist>] {<flags>}*)
|
|
;; [ [<documentation-string>] [<interactive-form>] ]
|
|
;; {<body-form>}* )
|
|
|
|
;; <function> is the name of the function/macro/subr to be advised.
|
|
|
|
;; <class> is the class of the advice which has to be one of `before',
|
|
;; `around', `after', `activation' or `deactivation' (the last two allow
|
|
;; definition of special act/deactivation hooks).
|
|
|
|
;; <name> is the name of the advice which has to be a non-nil symbol.
|
|
;; Names uniquely identify a piece of advice in a certain advice class,
|
|
;; hence, advices can be redefined by defining an advice with the same class
|
|
;; and name. Advice names are global symbols, hence, the same name space
|
|
;; conventions used for function names should be applied.
|
|
|
|
;; An optional <position> specifies where in the current list of advices of
|
|
;; the specified <class> this new advice will be placed. <position> has to
|
|
;; be either `first', `last' or a number that specifies a zero-based
|
|
;; position (`first' is equivalent to 0). If no position is specified
|
|
;; `first' will be used as a default. If this call to `defadvice' redefines
|
|
;; an already existing advice (see above) then the position argument will
|
|
;; be ignored and the position of the already existing advice will be used.
|
|
|
|
;; An optional <arglist> which has to be a list can be used to define the
|
|
;; argument list of the advised function. This argument list should of
|
|
;; course be compatible with the argument list of the original function,
|
|
;; otherwise functions that call the advised function with the original
|
|
;; argument list in mind will break. If more than one advice specify an
|
|
;; argument list then the first one (the one with the smallest position)
|
|
;; found in the list of before/around/after advices will be used.
|
|
|
|
;; <flags> is a list of symbols that specify further information about the
|
|
;; advice. All flags can be specified with unambiguous initial substrings.
|
|
;; `activate': Specifies that the advice information of the advised
|
|
;; function should be activated right after this advice has been
|
|
;; defined. In forward advices `activate' will be ignored.
|
|
;; `protect': Specifies that this advice should be protected against
|
|
;; non-local exits and errors in preceding code/advices.
|
|
;; `compile': Specifies that the advised function should be byte-compiled.
|
|
;; This flag will be ignored unless `activate' is also specified.
|
|
;; `disable': Specifies that the defined advice should be disabled, hence,
|
|
;; it will not be used in an activation until somebody enables it.
|
|
;; `preactivate': Specifies that the advised function should get preactivated
|
|
;; at macro-expansion/compile time of this `defadvice'. This
|
|
;; generates a compiled advised definition according to the
|
|
;; current advice state which will be used during activation
|
|
;; if appropriate. Only use this if the `defadvice' gets
|
|
;; actually compiled (with a v18 byte-compiler put the `defadvice'
|
|
;; into the body of a `defun' to accomplish proper compilation).
|
|
|
|
;; An optional <documentation-string> can be supplied to document the advice.
|
|
;; On call of the `documentation' function it will be combined with the
|
|
;; documentation strings of the original function and other advices.
|
|
|
|
;; An optional <interactive-form> form can be supplied to change/add
|
|
;; interactive behavior of the original function. If more than one advice
|
|
;; has an `(interactive ...)' specification then the first one (the one
|
|
;; with the smallest position) found in the list of before/around/after
|
|
;; advices will be used.
|
|
|
|
;; A possibly empty list of <body-forms> specifies the body of the advice in
|
|
;; an implicit progn. The body of an advice can access/change arguments,
|
|
;; the return value, the binding environment, and can have all sorts of
|
|
;; other side effects.
|
|
|
|
;; @@ Assembling advised definitions:
|
|
;; ==================================
|
|
;; Suppose a function/macro/subr/special-form has N pieces of before advice,
|
|
;; M pieces of around advice and K pieces of after advice. Assuming none of
|
|
;; the advices is protected, its advised definition will look like this
|
|
;; (body-form indices correspond to the position of the respective advice in
|
|
;; that advice class):
|
|
|
|
;; ([macro] lambda <arglist>
|
|
;; [ [<advised-docstring>] [(interactive ...)] ]
|
|
;; (let (ad-return-value)
|
|
;; {<before-0-body-form>}*
|
|
;; ....
|
|
;; {<before-N-1-body-form>}*
|
|
;; {<around-0-body-form>}*
|
|
;; {<around-1-body-form>}*
|
|
;; ....
|
|
;; {<around-M-1-body-form>}*
|
|
;; (setq ad-return-value
|
|
;; <apply original definition to <arglist>>)
|
|
;; {<other-around-M-1-body-form>}*
|
|
;; ....
|
|
;; {<other-around-1-body-form>}*
|
|
;; {<other-around-0-body-form>}*
|
|
;; {<after-0-body-form>}*
|
|
;; ....
|
|
;; {<after-K-1-body-form>}*
|
|
;; ad-return-value))
|
|
|
|
;; Macros and special forms will be redefined as macros, hence the optional
|
|
;; [macro] in the beginning of the definition.
|
|
|
|
;; <arglist> is either the argument list of the original function or the
|
|
;; first argument list defined in the list of before/around/after advices.
|
|
;; The values of <arglist> variables can be accessed/changed in the body of
|
|
;; an advice by simply referring to them by their original name, however,
|
|
;; more portable argument access macros are also provided (see below). For
|
|
;; subrs/special-forms for which neither explicit argument list definitions
|
|
;; are available, nor their documentation strings contain such definitions
|
|
;; (as they do v19s), `(&rest ad-subr-args)' will be used.
|
|
|
|
;; <advised-docstring> is an optional, special documentation string which will
|
|
;; be expanded into a proper documentation string upon call of `documentation'.
|
|
|
|
;; (interactive ...) is an optional interactive form either taken from the
|
|
;; original function or from a before/around/after advice. For advised
|
|
;; interactive subrs that do not have an interactive form specified in any
|
|
;; advice we have to use (interactive) and then call the subr interactively
|
|
;; if the advised function was called interactively, because the
|
|
;; interactive specification of subrs is not accessible. This is the only
|
|
;; case where changing the values of arguments will not have an affect
|
|
;; because they will be reset by the interactive specification of the subr.
|
|
;; If this is a problem one can always specify an interactive form in a
|
|
;; before/around/after advice to gain control over argument values that
|
|
;; were supplied interactively.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Then the body forms of the various advices in the various classes of advice
|
|
;; are assembled in order. The forms of around advice L are normally part of
|
|
;; one of the forms of around advice L-1. An around advice can specify where
|
|
;; the forms of the wrapped or surrounded forms should go with the special
|
|
;; keyword `ad-do-it', which will be substituted with a `progn' containing the
|
|
;; forms of the surrounded code.
|
|
|
|
;; The innermost part of the around advice onion is
|
|
;; <apply original definition to <arglist>>
|
|
;; whose form depends on the type of the original function. The variable
|
|
;; `ad-return-value' will be set to its result. This variable is visible to
|
|
;; all pieces of advice which can access and modify it before it gets returned.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The semantic structure of advised functions that contain protected pieces
|
|
;; of advice is the same. The only difference is that `unwind-protect' forms
|
|
;; make sure that the protected advice gets executed even if some previous
|
|
;; piece of advice had an error or a non-local exit. If any around advice is
|
|
;; protected then the whole around advice onion will be protected.
|
|
|
|
;; @@ Argument access in advised functions:
|
|
;; ========================================
|
|
;; As already mentioned, the simplest way to access the arguments of an
|
|
;; advised function in the body of an advice is to refer to them by name. To
|
|
;; do that, the advice programmer needs to know either the names of the
|
|
;; argument variables of the original function, or the names used in the
|
|
;; argument list redefinition given in a piece of advice. While this simple
|
|
;; method might be sufficient in many cases, it has the disadvantage that it
|
|
;; is not very portable because it hardcodes the argument names into the
|
|
;; advice. If the definition of the original function changes the advice
|
|
;; might break even though the code might still be correct. Situations like
|
|
;; that arise, for example, if one advises a subr like `eval-region' which
|
|
;; gets redefined in a non-advice style into a function by the edebug
|
|
;; package. If the advice assumes `eval-region' to be a subr it might break
|
|
;; once edebug is loaded. Similar situations arise when one wants to use the
|
|
;; same piece of advice across different versions of Emacs. Some subrs in a
|
|
;; v18 Emacs are functions in v19 and vice versa, but for the most part the
|
|
;; semantics remain the same, hence, the same piece of advice might be usable
|
|
;; in both Emacs versions.
|
|
|
|
;; As a solution to that advice provides argument list access macros that get
|
|
;; translated into the proper access forms at activation time, i.e., when the
|
|
;; advised definition gets constructed. Access macros access actual arguments
|
|
;; by position regardless of how these actual argument get distributed onto
|
|
;; the argument variables of a function. The rational behind this is that in
|
|
;; Emacs Lisp the semantics of an argument is strictly determined by its
|
|
;; position (there are no keyword arguments).
|
|
|
|
;; Suppose the function `foo' is defined as
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (defun foo (x y &optional z &rest r) ....)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; and is then called with
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (foo 0 1 2 3 4 5 6)
|
|
|
|
;; which means that X=0, Y=1, Z=2 and R=(3 4 5 6). The assumption is that
|
|
;; the semantics of an actual argument is determined by its position. It is
|
|
;; this semantics that has to be known by the advice programmer. Then s/he
|
|
;; can access these arguments in a piece of advice with some of the
|
|
;; following macros (the arrows indicate what value they will return):
|
|
|
|
;; (ad-get-arg 0) -> 0
|
|
;; (ad-get-arg 1) -> 1
|
|
;; (ad-get-arg 2) -> 2
|
|
;; (ad-get-arg 3) -> 3
|
|
;; (ad-get-args 2) -> (2 3 4 5 6)
|
|
;; (ad-get-args 4) -> (4 5 6)
|
|
|
|
;; `(ad-get-arg <position>)' will return the actual argument that was supplied
|
|
;; at <position>, `(ad-get-args <position>)' will return the list of actual
|
|
;; arguments supplied starting at <position>. Note that these macros can be
|
|
;; used without any knowledge about the form of the actual argument list of
|
|
;; the original function.
|
|
|
|
;; Similarly, `(ad-set-arg <position> <value-form>)' can be used to set the
|
|
;; value of the actual argument at <position> to <value-form>. For example,
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-set-arg 5 "five")
|
|
;;
|
|
;; will have the effect that R=(3 4 "five" 6) once the original function is
|
|
;; called. `(ad-set-args <position> <value-list-form>)' can be used to set
|
|
;; the list of actual arguments starting at <position> to <value-list-form>.
|
|
;; For example,
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-set-args 0 '(5 4 3 2 1 0))
|
|
;;
|
|
;; will have the effect that X=5, Y=4, Z=3 and R=(2 1 0) once the original
|
|
;; function is called.
|
|
|
|
;; All these access macros are text macros rather than real Lisp macros. When
|
|
;; the advised definition gets constructed they get replaced with actual access
|
|
;; forms depending on the argument list of the advised function, i.e., after
|
|
;; that argument access is in most cases as efficient as using the argument
|
|
;; variable names directly.
|
|
|
|
;; @@@ Accessing argument bindings of arbitrary functions:
|
|
;; =======================================================
|
|
;; Some functions (such as `trace-function' defined in trace.el) need a
|
|
;; method of accessing the names and bindings of the arguments of an
|
|
;; arbitrary advised function. To do that within an advice one can use the
|
|
;; special keyword `ad-arg-bindings' which is a text macro that will be
|
|
;; substituted with a form that will evaluate to a list of binding
|
|
;; specifications, one for every argument variable. These binding
|
|
;; specifications can then be examined in the body of the advice. For
|
|
;; example, somewhere in an advice we could do this:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (let* ((bindings ad-arg-bindings)
|
|
;; (firstarg (car bindings))
|
|
;; (secondarg (car (cdr bindings))))
|
|
;; ;; Print info about first argument
|
|
;; (print (format "%s=%s (%s)"
|
|
;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'name)
|
|
;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'value)
|
|
;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'type)))
|
|
;; ....)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The `type' of an argument is either `required', `optional' or `rest'.
|
|
;; Wherever `ad-arg-bindings' appears a form will be inserted that evaluates
|
|
;; to the list of bindings, hence, in order to avoid multiple unnecessary
|
|
;; evaluations one should always bind it to some variable.
|
|
|
|
;; @@@ Argument list mapping:
|
|
;; ==========================
|
|
;; Because `defadvice' allows the specification of the argument list of the
|
|
;; advised function we need a mapping mechanism that maps this argument list
|
|
;; onto that of the original function. For example, somebody might specify
|
|
;; `(sym newdef)' as the argument list of `fset', while advice might use
|
|
;; `(&rest ad-subr-args)' as the argument list of the original function
|
|
;; (depending on what Emacs version is used). Hence SYM and NEWDEF have to
|
|
;; be properly mapped onto the &rest variable when the original definition is
|
|
;; called. Advice automatically takes care of that mapping, hence, the advice
|
|
;; programmer can specify an argument list without having to know about the
|
|
;; exact structure of the original argument list as long as the new argument
|
|
;; list takes a compatible number/magnitude of actual arguments.
|
|
|
|
;; @@@ Definition of subr argument lists:
|
|
;; ======================================
|
|
;; When advice constructs the advised definition of a function it has to
|
|
;; know the argument list of the original function. For functions and macros
|
|
;; the argument list can be determined from the actual definition, however,
|
|
;; for subrs there is no such direct access available. In Lemacs and for some
|
|
;; subrs in Emacs-19 the argument list of a subr can be determined from
|
|
;; its documentation string, in a v18 Emacs even that is not possible. If
|
|
;; advice cannot at all determine the argument list of a subr it uses
|
|
;; `(&rest ad-subr-args)' which will always work but is inefficient because
|
|
;; it conses up arguments. The macro `ad-define-subr-args' can be used by
|
|
;; the advice programmer to explicitly tell advice about the argument list
|
|
;; of a certain subr, for example,
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-define-subr-args 'fset '(sym newdef))
|
|
;;
|
|
;; is used by advice itself to tell a v18 Emacs about the arguments of `fset'.
|
|
;; The following can be used to undo such a definition:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-undefine-subr-args 'fset)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The argument list definition is stored on the property list of the subr
|
|
;; name symbol. When an argument list could be determined from the
|
|
;; documentation string it will be cached under that property. The general
|
|
;; mechanism for looking up the argument list of a subr is the following:
|
|
;; 1) look for a definition stored on the property list
|
|
;; 2) if that failed try to infer it from the documentation string and
|
|
;; if successful cache it on the property list
|
|
;; 3) otherwise use `(&rest ad-subr-args)'
|
|
|
|
;; @@ Activation and deactivation:
|
|
;; ===============================
|
|
;; The definition of an advised function does not change until all its advice
|
|
;; gets actually activated. Activation can either happen with the `activate'
|
|
;; flag specified in the `defadvice', with an explicit call or interactive
|
|
;; invocation of `ad-activate', or if forward advice is enabled (i.e., the
|
|
;; value of `ad-activate-on-definition' is t) at the time an already advised
|
|
;; function gets defined.
|
|
|
|
;; When a function gets first activated its original definition gets saved,
|
|
;; all defined and enabled pieces of advice will get combined with the
|
|
;; original definition, the resulting definition might get compiled depending
|
|
;; on some conditions described below, and then the function will get
|
|
;; redefined with the advised definition. This also means that undefined
|
|
;; functions cannot get activated even though they might be already advised.
|
|
|
|
;; The advised definition will get compiled either if `ad-activate' was called
|
|
;; interactively with a prefix argument, or called explicitly with its second
|
|
;; argument as t, or, if `ad-default-compilation-action' justifies it according
|
|
;; to the current system state. If the advised definition was
|
|
;; constructed during "preactivation" (see below) then that definition will
|
|
;; be already compiled because it was constructed during byte-compilation of
|
|
;; the file that contained the `defadvice' with the `preactivate' flag.
|
|
|
|
;; `ad-deactivate' can be used to back-define an advised function to its
|
|
;; original definition. It can be called interactively or directly. Because
|
|
;; `ad-activate' caches the advised definition the function can be
|
|
;; reactivated via `ad-activate' with only minor overhead (it is checked
|
|
;; whether the current advice state is consistent with the cached
|
|
;; definition, see the section on caching below).
|
|
|
|
;; `ad-activate-regexp' and `ad-deactivate-regexp' can be used to de/activate
|
|
;; all currently advised function that have a piece of advice with a name that
|
|
;; contains a match for a regular expression. These functions can be used to
|
|
;; de/activate sets of functions depending on certain advice naming
|
|
;; conventions.
|
|
|
|
;; Finally, `ad-activate-all' and `ad-deactivate-all' can be used to

|
;; de/activate all currently advised functions. These are useful to
|
|
;; (temporarily) return to an un/advised state.
|
|
|
|
;; @@@ Reasons for the separation of advice definition and activation:
|
|
;; ===================================================================
|
|
;; As already mentioned, advising happens in two stages:
|
|
|
|
;; 1) definition of various pieces of advice
|
|
;; 2) activation of all advice currently defined and enabled
|
|
|
|
;; The advantage of this is that various pieces of advice can be defined
|
|
;; before they get combined into an advised definition which avoids
|
|
;; unnecessary constructions of intermediate advised definitions. The more
|
|
;; important advantage is that it allows the implementation of forward advice.
|
|
;; Advice information for a certain function accumulates as the value of the
|
|
;; `advice-info' property of the function symbol. This accumulation is
|
|
;; completely independent of the fact that that function might not yet be
|
|
;; defined. The special forms `defun' and `defmacro' have been advised to
|
|
;; check whether the function/macro they defined had advice information
|
|
;; associated with it. If so and forward advice is enabled, the original
|
|
;; definition will be saved, and then the advice will be activated. When a
|
|
;; file is loaded in a v18 Emacs the functions/macros it defines are also
|
|
;; defined with calls to `defun/defmacro'. Hence, we can forward advise
|
|
;; functions/macros which will be defined later during a load/autoload of some
|
|
;; file (for compiled files generated by jwz's byte-compiler in a v19 Emacs
|
|
;; this is slightly more complicated but the basic idea is the same).
|
|
|
|
;; @@ Enabling/disabling pieces or sets of advice:
|
|
;; ===============================================
|
|
;; A major motivation for the development of this advice package was to bring
|
|
;; a little bit more structure into the function overloading chaos in Emacs
|
|
;; Lisp. Many packages achieve some of their functionality by adding a little
|
|
;; bit (or a lot) to the standard functionality of some Emacs Lisp function.
|
|
;; ange-ftp is a very popular package that achieves its magic by overloading
|
|
;; most Emacs Lisp functions that deal with files. A popular function that's
|
|
;; overloaded by many packages is `expand-file-name'. The situation that one
|
|
;; function is multiply overloaded can arise easily.
|
|
|
|
;; Once in a while it would be desirable to be able to disable some/all
|
|
;; overloads of a particular package while keeping all the rest. Ideally -
|
|
;; at least in my opinion - these overloads would all be done with advice,
|
|
;; I know I am dreaming right now... In that ideal case the enable/disable
|
|
;; mechanism of advice could be used to achieve just that.
|
|
|
|
;; Every piece of advice is associated with an enablement flag. When the
|
|
;; advised definition of a particular function gets constructed (e.g., during
|
|
;; activation) only the currently enabled pieces of advice will be considered.
|
|
;; This mechanism allows one to have different "views" of an advised function
|
|
;; dependent on what pieces of advice are currently enabled.
|
|
|
|
;; Another motivation for this mechanism is that it allows one to define a
|
|
;; piece of advice for some function yet keep it dormant until a certain
|
|
;; condition is met. Until then activation of the function will not make use
|
|
;; of that piece of advice. Once the condition is met the advice can be
|
|
;; enabled and a reactivation of the function will add its functionality as
|
|
;; part of the new advised definition. For example, the advices of `defun'
|
|
;; etc. used by advice itself will stay disabled until `ad-start-advice' is
|
|
;; called and some variables have the proper values. Hence, if somebody
|
|
;; else advised these functions too and activates them the advices defined
|
|
;; by advice will get used only if they are intended to be used.
|
|
|
|
;; The main interface to this mechanism are the interactive functions
|
|
;; `ad-enable-advice' and `ad-disable-advice'. For example, the following
|
|
;; would disable a particular advice of the function `foo':
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-disable-advice 'foo 'before 'my-advice)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; This call by itself only changes the flag, to get the proper effect in
|
|
;; the advised definition too one has to activate `foo' with
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-activate 'foo)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; or interactively. To disable whole sets of advices one can use a regular
|
|
;; expression mechanism. For example, let us assume that ange-ftp actually
|
|
;; used advice to overload all its functions, and that it used the
|
|
;; "ange-ftp-" prefix for all its advice names, then we could temporarily
|
|
;; disable all its advices with
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-disable-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
|
|
;;
|
|
;; and the following call would put that actually into effect:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-activate-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
|
|
;;
|
|
;; A saver way would have been to use
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ad-update-regexp "^ange-ftp-")
|
|
;;
|
|
;; instead which would have only reactivated currently actively advised
|
|
;; functions, but not functions that were currently deactivated. All these
|
|
;; functions can also be called interactively.
|
|
|
|
;; A certain piece of advice is considered a match if its name contains a
|
|
;; match for the regular expression. To enable ange-ftp again we would use

;; `ad-enable-regexp' and then activate or update again.

;; @@ Forward advice, automatic advice activation:
|
|
;; ===============================================
|
|
;; Because most Emacs Lisp packages are loaded on demand via an autoload
|
|
;; mechanism it is essential to be able to "forward advise" functions.
|
|
;; Otherwise, proper advice definition and activation would make it necessary
|
|
;; to preload every file that defines a certain function before it can be
|
|
;; advised, which would partly defeat the purpose of the advice mechanism.
|
|
|
|
;; In the following, "forward advice" always implies its automatic activation
|
|
;; once a function gets defined, and not just the accumulation of advice
|
|
;; information for a possibly undefined function.
|
|
|
|
;; Advice implements forward advice mainly via the following: 1) Separation
|
|
;; of advice definition and activation that makes it possible to accumulate
|
|
;; advice information without having the original function already defined,
|
|
;; 2) special versions of the built-in functions `fset/defalias' which check
|
|
;; for advice information whenever they define a function. If advice
|
|
;; information was found then the advice will immediately get activated when
|
|
;; the function gets defined.
|
|
|
|
;; Automatic advice activation means, that whenever a function gets defined
|
|
;; with either `defun', `defmacro', `fset' or by loading a byte-compiled

;; @@ Caching of advised definitions:
|
|
;; ==================================
|
|
;; After an advised definition got constructed it gets cached as part of the

|
|
;; intermediate deactivation. Because the advice-info of a function might

|
;; change between the time of caching and reuse a cached definition gets

|
;; a cache-id associated with it so it can be verified whether the cached

;; - see below).
|

;; definition gets constructed then you should use `ad-clear-cache' before you

|
;; activate the advised function.

|
;; @@ Preactivation:
|
|
;; =================
|
|
;; Constructing an advised definition is moderately expensive. In a situation
|
|
;; where one package defines a lot of advised functions it might be
|
|
;; prohibitively expensive to do all the advised definition construction at
|
|
;; runtime. Preactivation is a mechanism that allows compile-time construction
|
|
;; of compiled advised definitions that can be activated cheaply during
|
|
;; runtime. Preactivation uses the caching mechanism to do that. Here's how it
|
|
;; works:
|
|
|
|
;; When the byte-compiler compiles a `defadvice' that has the `preactivate'
|
|
;; flag specified, it uses the current original definition of the advised
|
|
;; function plus the advice specified in this `defadvice' (even if it is
|
|
;; specified as disabled) and all other currently enabled pieces of advice to
|
|
;; construct an advised definition and an identifying cache-id and makes them
|
|
;; part of the `defadvice' expansion which will then be compiled by the
|
|
;; byte-compiler (to ensure that in a v18 emacs you have to put the
|
|
;; `defadvice' inside a `defun' to get it compiled and then you have to call
|
|
;; that compiled `defun' in order to actually execute the `defadvice'). When
|
|
;; the file with the compiled, preactivating `defadvice' gets loaded the
|
|
;; precompiled advised definition will be cached on the advised function's
|
|
;; advice-info. When it gets activated (can be immediately on execution of the
|
|
;; `defadvice' or any time later) the cache-id gets checked against the
|
|
;; current state of advice and if it is verified the precompiled definition
|
|
;; will be used directly (the verification is pretty cheap). If it couldn't get
|
|
;; verified a new advised definition for that function will be built from
|
|
;; scratch, hence, the efficiency added by the preactivation mechanism does
|
|
;; not at all impair the flexibility of the advice mechanism.
|
|
|
|
;; MORAL: In order get all the efficiency out of preactivation the advice
|
|
;; state of an advised function at the time the file with the
|
|
;; preactivating `defadvice' gets byte-compiled should be exactly

|
;; the same as it will be when the advice of that function gets
|
|
;; actually activated. If it is not there is a high chance that the
|
|
;; cache-id will not match and hence a new advised definition will
|
|
;; have to be constructed at runtime.
|
|
|
|
;; Preactivation and forward advice do not contradict each other. It is
|
|
;; perfectly ok to load a file with a preactivating `defadvice' before the
|
|
;; original definition of the advised function is available. The constructed
|
|
;; advised definition will be used once the original function gets defined and
|
|
;; its advice gets activated. The only constraint is that at the time the
|
|
;; file with the preactivating `defadvice' got compiled the original function
|
|
;; definition was available.
|
|
|
|
;; TIPS: Here are some indications that a preactivation did not work the way
|
|
;; you intended it to work:
|
|
;; - Activation of the advised function takes longer than usual/expected
|
|
;; - The byte-compiler gets loaded while an advised function gets
|
|
;; activated
|
|
;; - `byte-compile' is part of the `features' variable even though you
|
|
;; did not use the byte-compiler
|
|
;; Right now advice does not provide an elegant way to find out whether
|
|
;; and why a preactivation failed. What you can do is to trace the
|
|
;; function `ad-cache-id-verification-code' (with the function
|
|
;; `trace-function-background' defined in my trace.el package) before
|
|
;; any of your advised functions get activated. After they got
|
|
;; activated check whether all calls to `ad-cache-id-verification-code'
|
|
;; returned `verified' as a result. Other values indicate why the
|
|
;; verification failed which should give you enough information to
|
|
;; fix your preactivation/compile/load/activation sequence.
|
|
|
|
;; IMPORTANT: There is one case (that I am aware of) that can make
|
|
;; preactivation fail, i.e., a preconstructed advised definition that does
|
|
;; NOT match the current state of advice gets used nevertheless. That case
|
|
;; arises if one package defines a certain piece of advice which gets used
|
|
;; during preactivation, and another package incompatibly redefines that
|
|
;; very advice (i.e., same function/class/name), and it is the second advice
|
|
;; that is available when the preconstructed definition gets activated, and
|
|
;; that was the only definition of that advice so far (`ad-add-advice'

|
;; catches advice redefinitions and clears the cache in such a case).

|
|
;; ===================================
|
|
;; - Definition:
|
|
;; A piece of advice gets defined with `defadvice' and added to the
|
|
;; `advice-info' property of a function.
|
|
;; - Enablement:
|
|
;; Every piece of advice has an enablement flag associated with it. Only
|
|
;; enabled advices are considered during construction of an advised
|
|
;; definition.
|
|
;; - Activation:
|
|
;; Redefine an advised function with its advised definition. Constructs
|
|
;; an advised definition from scratch if no verifiable cached advised
|
|
;; definition is available and caches it.
|
|
;; - Deactivation:
|
|
;; Back-define an advised function to its original definition.
|
|
;; - Update:
|
|
;; Reactivate an advised function but only if its advice is currently
|
|
;; active. This can be used to bring all currently advised function up
|
|
;; to date with the current state of advice without also activating
|
|
;; currently deactivated functions.
|
|
;; - Caching:
|
|
;; Is the saving of an advised definition and an identifying cache-id so
|
|
;; it can be reused, for example, for activation after deactivation.
|
|
;; - Preactivation:
|
|
;; Is the construction of an advised definition according to the current
|
|
;; state of advice during byte-compilation of a file with a preactivating
|
|
;; `defadvice'. That advised definition can then rather cheaply be used
|
|
;; during activation without having to construct an advised definition

|
;; then a piece of advice written for `eval-region' that was written with

;; arises when one wants to access subr arguments in a before/around advice
|
|
;; when the arguments were determined by an interactive call to the subr.
|
|
;; Advice cannot determine what `interactive' form determines the interactive

|
;; behavior of the subr, hence, when it calls the original definition in an
|
|
;; interactive subr invocation it has to use `call-interactively' to generate
|
|

;; For an advised macro instead of evaluating the original definition we

|
|
;; ====================================
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Main design decisions about the form of advised definitions:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; A) How will original definitions be called?
|
|
;; B) What will argument lists of advised functions look like?
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Ad A)
|
|
;; I chose to use function indirection for all four types of original
|
|
;; definitions (functions, macros, subrs and special forms), i.e., create
|
|
;; a unique symbol `ad-Orig-<name>' which is fbound to the original
|
|
;; definition and call it according to type and arguments. Functions and
|
|
;; subrs that don't have any &rest arguments can be called directly in a
|
|
;; `(ad-Orig-<name> ....)' form. If they have a &rest argument we have to
|
|
;; use `apply'. Macros will be called with
|
|
;; `(macroexpand '(ad-Orig-<name> ....))', and special forms also need a
|
|
;; form like that with `eval' instead of `macroexpand'.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Ad B)
|
|
;; Use original arguments where possible and `(&rest ad-subr-args)'
|
|
;; otherwise, even though this seems to be more complicated and less
|
|
;; uniform than a general `(&rest args)' approach. My reason to still
|
|
;; do it that way is that in most cases my approach leads to the more
|
|

;; @@ Caching:
|
|
;; ===========
|
|
;; Generating an advised definition of a function is moderately expensive,
|
|
;; hence, it makes sense to cache it so we can reuse it in appropriate
|
|
;; circumstances. Of course, it only makes sense to reuse a cached
|
|
;; definition if the current advice and function definition state is the
|
|
;; same as it was at the time when the cached definition was generated.
|
|
;; For that purpose we associate every cache with an id so we can verify
|
|
;; if it is still valid at a certain point in time. This id mechanism
|
|
;; makes it possible to preactivate advised functions, write the compiled
|
|
;; advised definitions to a file and reuse them during the actual
|
|
;; activation without having to risk that the resulting definition will be
|
|
;; incorrect, well, almost.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; A cache id is a list with six elements:
|
|
;; 1) the list of names of enabled before advices
|
|
;; 2) the list of names of enabled around advices
|
|
;; 3) the list of names of enabled after advices
|
|
;; 4) the type of the original function (macro, subr, etc.)
|
|
;; 5) the arglist of the original definition (or t if it was equal to the
|
|
;; arglist of the cached definition)
|
|
;; 6) t if the interactive form of the original definition was equal to the
|
|
;; interactive form of the cached definition
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Here's how a cache can get invalidated or be incorrect:
|
|
;; A) a piece of advice used in the cache gets redefined
|
|
;; B) the current list of enabled advices is different from the ones used
|
|
;; for the cache
|
|
;; C) the type of the original function changed, e.g., a function became a
|
|
;; macro, or a subr became a function
|
|
;; D) the arglist of the original function changed
|
|
;; E) the interactive form of the original function changed
|
|
;; F) a piece of advice used in the cache got redefined before the
|
|
;; defadvice with the cached definition got loaded: This is a PROBLEM!
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Cases A and B are the normal ones. A is taken care of by `ad-add-advice'
|
|
;; which clears the cache in such a case, B is easily checked during
|
|
;; verification at activation time.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Cases C, D and E have to be considered if one is slightly paranoid, i.e.,
|
|
;; if one considers the case that the original function could be different
|
|
;; from the one available at caching time (e.g., for forward advice of
|
|
;; functions that get redefined by some packages - such as `eval-region' gets
|
|
;; redefined by edebug). All these cases can be easily checked during
|
|
;; verification. Element 4 of the id lets one check case C, element 5 takes
|
|
;; care of case D (using t in the equality case saves some space, because the
|
|
;; arglist can be recovered at validation time from the cached definition),
|
|
;; and element 6 takes care of case E which is only a problem if the original
|
|
;; was actually a function whose interactive form was not overridden by a
|
|
;; piece of advice.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Case F is the only one which will lead to an incorrect advised function.
|
|
;; There is no way to avoid this without storing the complete advice definition
|
|
;; in the cache-id which is not feasible.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The cache-id of a typical advised function with one piece of advice and
|
|
;; no arglist redefinition takes 7 conses which is a small price to pay for
|
|
;; the added efficiency. The validation itself is also pretty cheap, certainly
|
|
;; a lot cheaper than reconstructing an advised definition.

"Defines a piece of advice for FUNCTION (a symbol).

The syntax of `defadvice' is as follows:
|
|
|
|
(defadvice FUNCTION (CLASS NAME [POSITION] [ARGLIST] FLAG...)
|
|
[DOCSTRING] [INTERACTIVE-FORM]
|
|
BODY... )
|
|
|
|
FUNCTION ::= Name of the function to be advised.
|
|
CLASS ::= `before' | `around' | `after' | `activation' | `deactivation'.
|
|
NAME ::= Non-nil symbol that names this piece of advice.
|
|
POSITION ::= `first' | `last' | NUMBER. Optional, defaults to `first',
|
|
see also `ad-add-advice'.
|
|
ARGLIST ::= An optional argument list to be used for the advised function
|
|
instead of the argument list of the original. The first one found in
|
|
before/around/after-advices will be used.
|
|
FLAG ::= `protect'|`disable'|`activate'|`compile'|`preactivate'|`freeze'.
|
|
All flags can be specified with unambiguous initial substrings.
|
|
DOCSTRING ::= Optional documentation for this piece of advice.
|
|
INTERACTIVE-FORM ::= Optional interactive form to be used for the advised
|
|
function. The first one found in before/around/after-advices will be used.
|
|
BODY ::= Any s-expression.
|
|
|
|
Semantics of the various flags:
|
|
`protect': The piece of advice will be protected against non-local exits in
|
|
any code that precedes it. If any around-advice of a function is protected
|
|
then automatically all around-advices will be protected (the complete onion).
|
|
|
|
`activate': All advice of FUNCTION will be activated immediately if
|
|
FUNCTION has been properly defined prior to this application of `defadvice'.
|
|
|
|
`compile': In conjunction with `activate' specifies that the resulting
|
|
advised function should be compiled.
|
|
|
|
`disable': The defined advice will be disabled, hence, it will not be used
|
|
during activation until somebody enables it.
|
|
|
|
`preactivate': Preactivates the advised FUNCTION at macro-expansion/compile
|
|
time. This generates a compiled advised definition according to the current
|
|
advice state that will be used during activation if appropriate. Only use
|
|
this if the `defadvice' gets actually compiled.
|
|
|
|
`freeze': Expands the `defadvice' into a redefining `defun/defmacro' according
|
|
to this particular single advice. No other advice information will be saved.
|
|
Frozen advices cannot be undone, they behave like a hard redefinition of
|
|
the advised function. `freeze' implies `activate' and `preactivate'. The
|
|
documentation of the advised function can be dumped onto the `DOC' file
|
|
during preloading.
|
|
|
|
Look at the file `advice.el' for comprehensive documentation."
