;;{{{ Documentation

;; Description:
;;
;; CWarn is a package that highlights suspicious C and C++ constructions.
;;
;; For example, take a look at the following piece of C code:
;;
;;     if (x = 0);
;;       foo();
;;
;; The code contains two, possibly fatal, bugs.  The first is that the
;; assignment operator "=" is used as part of the test; the user
;; probably meant to use the comparison operator "==".
;;
;; The second problem is that an extra semicolon is placed after
;; closing parenthesis of the test expression.  This makes the body of
;; the if statement to be an empty statement, not the call to the
;; function "foo", as the user probably intended.
;;
;; This package is capable of highlighting the following C and C++
;; constructions:
;;
;; * Assignments inside expressions, including variations like "+=".
;; * Semicolon following immediately after `if', `for', and `while'
;;   (except, of course, after a `do .. while' statement).
;; * C++ functions with reference parameters.
;;
;; Note that none of the constructions highlighted (especially not C++
;; reference parameters) are considered errors by the language
;; definitions.

;; Usage:
;;
;; CWarn is implemented as two minor modes: `cwarn-mode' and
;; `global-cwarn-mode'.  The former can be applied to individual buffers
;; and the latter to all buffers.
;;
;; Activate this package by Customize, or by placing the following line
;; into the appropriate init file:
;;
;;    (global-cwarn-mode 1)
;;
;; Also, `font-lock-mode' or `global-font-lock-mode' must be enabled.

;; Afterthought:
;;
;; After using this package for several weeks it feels as though I
;; find stupid typo-style bugs while editing rather than at compile-
;; or run-time, if I ever find them.
;;
;; On the other hand, I find myself using assignments inside
;; expressions much more often than I used to do.  The reason is that
;; there is no risk of interpreting an assignment operator as a
;; comparison ("hey, the assignment operator is red, duh!").

;; Reporting bugs:
;;
;;     Out of the last ten bugs you found, how many did you report?
;;
;; When reporting a bug, please:
;;
;; * Send a mail the maintainer of the package, or to the author
;;   if no maintainer exists.
;; * Include the name of the package in the title of the mail, to
;;   simplify for the recipient.
;; * State exactly what you did, what happened, and what you expected
;;   to see when you found the bug.
;; * If the bug cause an error, set the variable `debug-on-error' to t,
;;   repeat the operations that triggered the error and include
;;   the backtrace in the letter.
;; * If possible, include an example that activates the bug.
;; * Should you speculate about the cause of the problem, please
;;   state explicitly that you are guessing.

;; This section contains font-lock keywords.  A font lock keyword can
;; either contain a regular expression or a match function.  All
;; keywords defined here use match functions since the C and C++
;; constructions highlighted by CWarn are too complex to be matched by
;; regular expressions.
;;
;; A match function should act like a normal forward search.  They
;; should return non-nil if they found a candidate and the match data
;; should correspond to the highlight part of the font-lock keyword.
;; The functions should not generate errors, in that case font-lock
;; will fail to highlight the buffer.  A match function takes one
;; argument, LIMIT, that represent the end of area to be searched.
