25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; The functions in this file detect (`find-emacs-lisp-shadows')
28 ;; and display (`list-load-path-shadows') potential load-path
29 ;; problems that arise when Emacs Lisp files "shadow" each other.
31 ;; For example, a file XXX.el early in one's load-path will shadow
32 ;; a file with the same name in a later load-path directory. When
33 ;; this is unintentional, it may result in problems that could have
34 ;; been easily avoided. This occurs often (to me) when installing a
35 ;; new version of emacs and something in the site-lisp directory
36 ;; has been updated and added to the emacs distribution. The old
37 ;; version, now outdated, shadows the new one. This is obviously
38 ;; undesirable.
40 ;; The `list-load-path-shadows' function was run when you installed
41 ;; this version of emacs. To run it by hand in emacs:
43 ;; M-x list-load-path-shadows
45 ;; or run it non-interactively via:
47 ;; emacs -batch -f list-load-path-shadows
49 ;; Thanks to Francesco Potorti` <pot@cnuce.cnr.it> for suggestions,
50 ;; rewritings & speedups.

156 (defun list-load-path-shadows (&optional stringp)
157 "Display a list of Emacs Lisp files that shadow other files.
159 If STRINGP is non-nil, returns any shadows as a string.
160 Otherwise, if interactive shows any shadows in a `*Shadows*' buffer;
161 else prints messages listing any shadows.
163 This function lists potential load path problems. Directories in
164 the `load-path' variable are searched, in order, for Emacs Lisp
165 files. When a previously encountered file name is found again, a
166 message is displayed indicating that the later file is \"hidden\" by
167 the earlier.
169 For example, suppose `load-path' is set to
171 \(\"/usr/gnu/emacs/site-lisp\" \"/usr/gnu/emacs/share/emacs/19.30/lisp\"\)
173 and that each of these directories contains a file called XXX.el. Then
174 XXX.el in the site-lisp directory is referred to by all of:
175 \(require 'XXX\), \(autoload .... \"XXX\"\), \(load-library \"XXX\"\) etc.
177 The first XXX.el file prevents Emacs from seeing the second \(unless
178 the second is loaded explicitly via `load-file'\).
180 When not intended, such shadowings can be the source of subtle
181 problems. For example, the above situation may have arisen because the
182 XXX package was not distributed with versions of Emacs prior to
183 19.30. An Emacs maintainer downloaded XXX from elsewhere and installed
184 it. Later, XXX was updated and included in the Emacs distribution.
185 Unless the Emacs maintainer checks for this, the new version of XXX
186 will be hidden behind the old \(which may no longer work with the new
187 Emacs version\).
189 This function performs these checks and flags all possible
190 shadowings. Because a .el file may exist without a corresponding .elc
191 \(or vice-versa\), these suffixes are essentially ignored. A file
192 XXX.elc in an early directory \(that does not contain XXX.el\) is
193 considered to shadow a later file XXX.el, and vice-versa.
195 Shadowings are located by calling the (non-interactive) companion
196 function, `find-emacs-lisp-shadows'."
