;;; Commentary:

;; Lazy Lock mode is a Font Lock support mode.
;; It makes visiting a file in Font Lock mode faster by restoring its face text
;; properties from automatically saved associated Font Lock cache files.
;;
;; See caveats and feedback below.
;; See also the lazy-lock package.  (But don't use the two at the same time!)

;; Installation:
;; 
;; Put in your ~/.emacs:
;;
;; (setq font-lock-support-mode 'fast-lock-mode)
;;
;; Start up a new Emacs and use font-lock as usual (except that you can use the
;; so-called "gaudier" fontification regexps on big files without frustration).
;;
;; When you visit a file (which has `font-lock-mode' enabled) that has a
;; corresponding Font Lock cache file associated with it, the Font Lock cache
;; will be loaded from that file instead of being generated by Font Lock code.

;; Caveats:
;;
;; A cache will be saved when visiting a compressed file using crypt++, but not
;; be read.  This is a "feature"/"consequence"/"bug" of crypt++.
;;
;; Version control packages are likely to stamp all over file modification
;; times.  Therefore the act of checking out may invalidate a cache.

;; History:
;;
;; 0.02--1.00:
;; - Changed name from turbo-prop to fast-lock.  Automagic for font-lock only
;; - Made `fast-lock-mode' a minor mode, like G. Dinesh Dutt's fss-mode
;; 1.00--1.01:
;; - Turn on `fast-lock-mode' only if `buffer-file-name' or `interactive-p'
;; - Made `fast-lock-file-name' use `buffer-name' if `buffer-file-name' is nil
;; - Moved save-all conditions to `fast-lock-save-cache'
;; - Added `fast-lock-save-text-properties' to `kill-buffer-hook'
;; 1.01--2.00: complete rewrite---not worth the space to document
;; - Changed structure of text properties cache and threw out file mod checks
;; 2.00--2.01:
;; - Made `condition-case' forms understand `quit'. 
;; - Made `fast-lock' require `font-lock'
;; - Made `fast-lock-cache-name' chase links (from Ben Liblit)
;; 2.01--3.00:
;; - Changed structure of cache to include `font-lock-keywords' (from rms)
;; - Changed `fast-lock-cache-mechanisms' to `fast-lock-cache-directories'

;; - Made `fast-lock-read-cache' ignore cache owner
;; - Made `fast-lock-save-cache-external' create cache directory
;; - Made `fast-lock-save-cache-external' save `font-lock-keywords'
;; - Made `fast-lock-cache-data' check `font-lock-keywords'
;; 3.00--3.01: incorporated port of 2.00 to Lucid, made by Barry Warsaw
;; - Package now provides itself
;; - Lucid: Use `font-lock-any-extents-p' for `font-lock-any-properties-p'

;; - Lucid: Added Lucid-specific `fast-lock-get-face-properties'
;; 3.01--3.02: now works with Lucid Emacs, thanks to Barry Warsaw
;; - Made `fast-lock-cache-name' map ":" to ";" for OS/2 (from Serganova Vera)

;; - Lucid: Separated handlers for `error' and `quit' for `condition-case'
;; 3.02--3.03:
;; - Changed `fast-lock-save-cache-external' to `fast-lock-save-cache-data'
;; - Lucid: Added Lucid-specific `fast-lock-set-face-properties'

;; - Made `fast-lock-cache-directory' to return a usable cache file directory
;; 3.04--3.05:
;; - Lucid: Fix for XEmacs 19.11 `text-property-not-all'
;; - Replaced `subrp' test of Lucid code with `emacs-version' `string-match'
;; - Made `byte-compile-warnings' omit `unresolved' on compilation
;; - Made `fast-lock-save-cache-data' use a buffer (from Rick Sladkey)
;; - Reverted to old `fast-lock-get-face-properties' (from Rick Sladkey)

If Fast Lock mode is enabled, and the current buffer does not contain any text
properties, any associated Font Lock cache is used if its timestamp matches the
buffer's file, and its `font-lock-keywords' match those that you are using.

Font Lock caches may be saved:

- When you kill an unmodified file's buffer.
- When you exit Emacs, for all unmodified or saved buffers.

characters, and appended with `.flc'.

If the same file has different cache path names when edited on different
machines, e.g., on one machine the cache file name has the prefix `#home',
perhaps due to automount, try putting in your `~/.emacs' something like:

 (setq directory-abbrev-alist (cons '(\"^/home/\" . \"/\") directory-abbrev-alist))

Emacs automagically removes the common `/tmp_mnt' automount prefix by default.
