30 ;; Completion of structure tags can be done automatically in the
31 ;; shell, since the list of tags can be determined dynamically through
32 ;; interaction with IDL.
34 ;; Completion of structure tags in a source buffer is highly ambiguous
35 ;; since you never know what kind of structure a variable will hold at
36 ;; runtime. To make this feature useful in source buffers, we need a
37 ;; special assumption/convention. We will assume that the structure is
38 ;; defined in the same buffer and directly assigned to the correct
39 ;; variable. This is mainly useful for applications in which there is one
40 ;; main structure which contains a large amount of information (and many
41 ;; tags). For example, many widget applications define a "state" structure
42 ;; that contains all important data about the application. The different
43 ;; routines called by the event handler then use this structure. If you
44 ;; use the same variable name for this structure throughout your
45 ;; application (a good idea for many reasons), IDLWAVE can support
46 ;; completion for its tags.
48 ;; This file is a completion plugin which implements this kind of
49 ;; completion. It is also an example which shows how completion plugins
50 ;; should be programmed.
52 ;; New versions of IDLWAVE, documentation, and more information available
58 ;; Put this file on the emacs load path and load it with the following
59 ;; line in your .emacs file:
61 ;; (add-hook 'idlwave-load-hook
62 ;; (lambda () (require 'idlw-complete-structtag)))
66 ;; Suppose your IDL program contains something like
70 ;; where the star marks the cursor position. If you now press the
71 ;; completion key M-TAB, IDLWAVE searches the current file for a
72 ;; structure definition
74 ;; state = {tag1:val1, tag2:val2, ...}
76 ;; and offers the tags for completion.
78 ;; In the idlwave shell, idlwave sends a "print,tag_names()" for the
79 ;; variable to idl and determines the current tag list dynamically.
83 ;; - The structure definition assignment "state = {...}" must use the
84 ;; same variable name as the the completion location "state.*".
85 ;; - The structure definition must be in the same file.
86 ;; - The structure definition is searched backwards and then forward
87 ;; from the current position, until a definition with tags is found.
88 ;; - The file is parsed again for each new completion variable and location.
89 ;; - You can force an update of the tag list with the usual command
90 ;; to update routine info in IDLWAVE: C-c C-i
94 ;; Some variables to identify the previously used structure
