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36 ;; version, now outdated, shadows the new one.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

198 "Display a list of Emacs Lisp files that shadow other files.
200 If STRINGP is non-nil, returns any shadows as a string.
201 Otherwise, if interactive shows any shadows in a `*Shadows*' buffer;
202 else prints messages listing any shadows.
204 This function lists potential load path problems. Directories in
205 the `load-path' variable are searched, in order, for Emacs Lisp
206 files. When a previously encountered file name is found again, a
207 message is displayed indicating that the later file is \"hidden\" by
208 the earlier.
210 For example, suppose `load-path' is set to
212 \(\"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp\" \"/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp\")
214 and that each of these directories contains a file called XXX.el. Then
215 XXX.el in the site-lisp directory is referred to by all of:
216 \(require \\='XXX), (autoload .... \"XXX\"), (load-library \"XXX\") etc.
218 The first XXX.el file prevents Emacs from seeing the second (unless
219 the second is loaded explicitly via `load-file').
221 When not intended, such shadowings can be the source of subtle
222 problems. For example, the above situation may have arisen because the
223 XXX package was not distributed with versions of Emacs prior to
224 24.3. A system administrator downloaded XXX from elsewhere and installed
225 it. Later, XXX was updated and included in the Emacs distribution.
226 Unless the system administrator checks for this, the new version of XXX
227 will be hidden behind the old (which may no longer work with the new
228 Emacs version).
230 This function performs these checks and flags all possible
231 shadowings. Because a .el file may exist without a corresponding .elc
232 \(or vice-versa), these suffixes are essentially ignored. A file
233 XXX.elc in an early directory (that does not contain XXX.el) is
234 considered to shadow a later file XXX.el, and vice-versa.
236 Shadowings are located by calling the (non-interactive) companion
237 function, `load-path-shadows-find'."
