  24 ;;; Commentary:
  25
  26 ;; PURPOSE:
  27 ;; This package features a function called ff-find-other-file, which performs
  28 ;; the following function:
  29 ;;
  30 ;;     When in a .c file, find the first corresponding .h file in a set
  31 ;;     of directories and display it, and vice-versa from the .h file.
  32 ;;
  33 ;; Many people maintain their include file in a directory separate to their
  34 ;; src directory, and very often you may be editing a file and have a need to
  35 ;; visit the "other file". This package searches through a set of directories
  36 ;; to find that file.
  37 ;;
  38 ;; THE "OTHER FILE", or "corresponding file", generally has the same basename,
  39 ;; and just has a different extension as described by the ff-other-file-alist
  40 ;; variable:
  41 ;;
  42 ;;   '(("\\.cc$"  (".hh" ".h"))
  43 ;;     ("\\.hh$"  (".cc" ".C" ".CC" ".cxx" ".cpp")))
  44 ;;
  45 ;; If the current file has a .cc extension, ff-find-other-file will attempt
  46 ;; to look for a .hh file, and then a .h file in some directory as described
  47 ;; below. The mechanism here is to replace the matched part of the original
  48 ;; filename with each of the corresponding extensions in turn.
  49 ;;
  50 ;; Alternatively, there are situations where the filename of the other file
  51 ;; cannot be determined easily with regexps. For example, a .c file may
  52 ;; have two corresponding .h files, for its public and private parts, or
  53 ;; the filename for the .c file contains part of the pathname of the .h
  54 ;; file, as between src/fooZap.cc and include/FOO/zap.hh. In that case, the
  55 ;; format above can be changed to include a function to be called when the
  56 ;; current file matches the regexp:
  57 ;;
  58 ;;   '(("\\.cc$"  cc--function)
  59 ;;     ("\\.hh$"  hh-function))
  60 ;;
  61 ;; These functions must return a list consisting of the possible names of the
  62 ;; corresponding file, with or without path. There is no real need for more
  63 ;; than one function, and one could imagine the following value for cc-other-
  64 ;; file-alist:
  65 ;;
  66 ;;    (setq cc-other-file-alist
  67 ;;        '(("\\.cc$"  ff-cc-hh-converter)
  68 ;;          ("\\.hh$"  ff-cc-hh-converter)
  69 ;;          ("\\.c$"   (".h"))
  70 ;;          ("\\.h$"   (".c" ".cc" ".C" ".CC" ".cxx" ".cpp"))))
  71 ;;
  72 ;; ff-cc-hh-converter is included at the end of this file as a reference.
  73 ;;
  74 ;; SEARCHING is carried out in a set of directories specified by the
  75 ;; ff-search-directories variable:
  76 ;;
  77 ;;     ("." "../../src" "../include/*" "/usr/local/*/src/*" "$PROJECT/src")
  78 ;;
  79 ;; This means that the corresponding file will be searched for first in
  80 ;; the current directory, then in ../../src, then in one of the directories
  81 ;; under ../include, and so on. The star is _not_ a general wildcard
  82 ;; character: it just indicates that the subdirectories of this directory
  83 ;; must each be searched in turn. Environment variables will be expanded in
  84 ;; the ff-search-directories variable.
  85 ;;
  86 ;; If the point is on a #include line, the file to be #included is searched
  87 ;; for in the same manner. This can be disabled with the ff-ignore-include
  88 ;; variable, or by calling ff-get-other-file instead of ff-find-other-file.
  89 ;;
  90 ;; If the file was not found, ff-find-other-file will prompt you for where
  91 ;; to create the new "corresponding file" (defaults to the current directory),
  92 ;; unless the variable ff-always-try-to-create is set to nil.
  93 ;;
  94 ;; GIVEN AN ARGUMENT (with the ^U prefix), ff-find-other-file will get the
  95 ;; other file in another (the other?) window (see find-file-other-window and
  96 ;; switch-to-buffer-other-window). This can be set on a more permanent basis
  97 ;; by setting ff-always-in-other-window to t in which case the ^U prefix will
  98 ;; do the opposite of what was described above.
  99 ;;
 100 ;; THERE ARE FIVE AVAILABLE HOOKS, called in this order if non-nil:
 101 ;;
 102 ;; - ff-pre-find-hook     - called before the search for the other file starts
 103 ;; - ff-not-found-hook    - called when the other file could not be found
 104 ;; - ff-pre-load-hook     - called just before the other file is 'loaded'
 105 ;; - ff-file-created-hook - called when the other file is created
 106 ;; - ff-post-load-hook    - called just after the other file is 'loaded'
 107 ;;
 108 ;; The *load-hook allow you to place point where you want it in the other
 109 ;; file.
