;;; Commentary:
;; Advice is documented in the Emacs Lisp Manual.
;; @ Introduction:
;; ===============
;; This package implements a full-fledged Lisp-style advice mechanism
;; for Emacs Lisp. Advice is a clean and efficient way to modify the
;; behavior of Emacs Lisp functions without having to keep personal
;; modified copies of such functions around. A great number of such
;; modifications can be achieved by treating the original function as a
;; black box and specifying a different execution environment for it
;; with a piece of advice. Think of a piece of advice as a kind of fancy
;; hook that you can attach to any function/macro/subr.
;; @ Highlights:
;; =============
;; - Clean definition of multiple, named before/around/after advices
;; for functions and macros.
;; - Full control over the arguments an advised function will receive,
;; the binding environment in which it will be executed, as well as the
;; value it will return.
;; - Allows re/definition of interactive behavior for commands.
;; - Every piece of advice can have its documentation string.
;; - The execution of every piece of advice can be protected against error
;; and non-local exits in preceding code or advices.
;; - Simple argument access either by name, or, more portable but as
;; efficient, via access macros
;; - Allows the specification of a different argument list for the advised
;; version of a function.
;; - Advised functions can be byte-compiled either at file-compile time
;; (see preactivation) or activation time.
;; - Separation of advice definition and activation.
;; - Forward advice is possible, that is
;; as yet undefined or autoload functions can be advised without having to
;; preload the file in which they are defined.
;; - Forward redefinition is possible because around advice can be used to
;; completely redefine a function.
;; - A caching mechanism for advised definition provides for cheap deactivation
;; and reactivation of advised functions.
;; - Preactivation allows efficient construction and compilation of advised
;; definitions at file compile time without giving up the flexibility of
;; the advice mechanism.
;; - En/disablement mechanism allows the use of different "views" of advised
;; functions depending on what pieces of advice are currently en/disabled
;; - Provides manipulation mechanisms for sets of advised functions via
;; regular expressions that match advice names.
;; @ Overview, or how to read this file:
;; =====================================
;; You can use `outline-mode' to help you read this documentation (set
;; `outline-regexp' to `";; @+"').
;;
;; The four major sections of this file are:
;;
;; @ This initial information ...installation, customization etc.
;; @ Advice documentation: ...general documentation
;; @ Foo games: An advice tutorial ...teaches about Advice by example
;; @ Advice implementation: ...actual code, yeah!!
;;
;; The latter three are actual headings which you can search for
;; directly in case `outline-mode' doesn't work for you.
;; @ Restrictions:
;; ===============
;; - Advised functions/macros/subrs will only exhibit their advised behavior
;; when they are invoked via their function cell. This means that advice will
;; not work for the following:
;; + advised subrs that are called directly from other subrs or C-code
;; + advised subrs that got replaced with their byte-code during
;; byte-compilation (e.g., car)
;; + advised macros which were expanded during byte-compilation before
;; their advice was activated.
;; @ Credits:
;; ==========
;; This package is an extension and generalization of packages such as
;; insert-hooks.el written by Noah S. Friedman, and advise.el written by
;; Raul J. Acevedo. Some ideas used in here come from these packages,
;; others come from the various Lisp advice mechanisms I've come across
;; so far, and a few are simply mine.
;; @ Safety Rules and Emergency Exits:
;; ===================================
;; Before we begin: CAUTION!!
;; Advice provides you with a lot of rope to hang yourself on very
;; easily accessible trees, so, here are a few important things you
;; should know:
;;
;; If you experience any strange behavior/errors etc. that you attribute to
;; Advice or to some ill-advised function do one of the following:
;; - M-x ad-deactivate FUNCTION (if you have a definite suspicion what
;; function gives you problems)
;; - M-x ad-deactivate-all (if you don't have a clue what's going wrong)
;; - M-x ad-recover-normality (for real emergencies)
;; - If none of the above solves your Advice-related problem go to another
;; terminal, kill your Emacs process and send me some hate mail.
;; The first two measures have restarts, i.e., once you've figured out
;; the problem you can reactivate advised functions with either `ad-activate',
;; or `ad-activate-all'. `ad-recover-normality' unadvises
;; everything so you won't be able to reactivate any advised functions, you'll
;; have to stick with their standard incarnations for the rest of the session.
;; RELAX: Advice is pretty safe even if you are oblivious to the above.
;; I use it extensively and haven't run into any serious trouble in a long
;; time. Just wanted you to be warned.
;; @ Customization:
;; ================
;; Look at the documentation of `ad-redefinition-action' for possible values
;; of this variable. Its default value is `warn' which will print a warning
;; message when an already defined advised function gets redefined with a
;; new original definition and de/activated.
;; Look at the documentation of `ad-default-compilation-action' for possible
;; values of this variable. Its default value is `maybe' which will compile
;; advised definitions during activation in case the byte-compiler is already
;; loaded. Otherwise, it will leave them uncompiled.
;; @ Motivation:
;; =============
;; Before I go on explaining how advice works, here are four simple examples
;; how this package can be used. The first three are very useful, the last one
;; is just a joke:
;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (before existing-buffers-only activate)
;; "When called interactively switch to existing buffers only, unless
;;when called with a prefix argument."
;; (interactive
;; (list (read-buffer "Switch to buffer: " (other-buffer)
;; (null current-prefix-arg)))))
;;
;;(defadvice switch-to-buffer (around confirm-non-existing-buffers activate)
;; "Switch to non-existing buffers only upon confirmation."
;; (interactive "BSwitch to buffer: ")
;; (if (or (get-buffer (ad-get-arg 0))
;; (y-or-n-p (format-message "`%s' does not exist, create? "
;; (ad-get-arg 0))))
;; ad-do-it))
;;
;;(defadvice find-file (before existing-files-only activate)
;; "Find existing files only"
;; (interactive "fFind file: "))
;;
;;(defadvice car (around interactive activate)
;; "Make `car' an interactive function."
;; (interactive "xCar of list: ")
;; ad-do-it
;; (if (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
;; (message "%s" ad-return-value)))
;; @ Advice documentation:
;; =======================
;; Below is general documentation of the various features of advice. For more
;; concrete examples check the corresponding sections in the tutorial part.
;; @@ Terminology:
;; ===============
;; - Emacs: Emacs as released by the GNU Project
;; - Advice: The name of this package.
;; - advices: Short for "pieces of advice".
;; @@ Defining a piece of advice with `defadvice':
;; ===============================================
;; The main means of defining a piece of advice is the macro `defadvice',
;; there is no interactive way of specifying a piece of advice. A call to
;; `defadvice' has the following syntax which is similar to the syntax of
;; `defun/defmacro':
;;
;; (defadvice <function> (<class> <name> [<position>] [<arglist>] {<flags>}*)
;; [ [<documentation-string>] [<interactive-form>] ]
;; {<body-form>}* )
;; <function> is the name of the function/macro/subr to be advised.
;; <class> is the class of the advice which has to be one of `before',
;; `around', `after', `activation' or `deactivation' (the last two allow
;; definition of special act/deactivation hooks).
;; <name> is the name of the advice which has to be a non-nil symbol.
;; Names uniquely identify a piece of advice in a certain advice class,
;; hence, advices can be redefined by defining an advice with the same class
;; and name. Advice names are global symbols, hence, the same name space
;; conventions used for function names should be applied.
;; An optional <position> specifies where in the current list of advices of
;; the specified <class> this new advice will be placed. <position> has to
;; be either `first', `last' or a number that specifies a zero-based
;; position (`first' is equivalent to 0). If no position is specified
;; `first' will be used as a default. If this call to `defadvice' redefines
;; an already existing advice (see above) then the position argument will
;; be ignored and the position of the already existing advice will be used.
;; An optional <arglist> which has to be a list can be used to define the
;; argument list of the advised function. This argument list should of
;; course be compatible with the argument list of the original function,

;; `compile': Specifies that the advised function should be byte-compiled.
;; This flag will be ignored unless `activate' is also specified.
;; `disable': Specifies that the defined advice should be disabled, hence,

;; generates a compiled advised definition according to the
;; current advice state which will be used during activation
;; if appropriate. Only use this if the `defadvice' gets
;; actually compiled.
;; An optional <documentation-string> can be supplied to document the advice.
;; On call of the `documentation' function it will be combined with the
;; documentation strings of the original function and other advices.
;; An optional <interactive-form> form can be supplied to change/add
;; interactive behavior of the original function. If more than one advice
;; has an `(interactive ...)' specification then the first one (the one
;; with the smallest position) found in the list of before/around/after
;; advices will be used.
;; A possibly empty list of <body-forms> specifies the body of the advice in
;; an implicit progn. The body of an advice can access/change arguments,
;; the return value, the binding environment, and can have all sorts of
;; other side effects.
;; @@ Assembling advised definitions:
;; ==================================
;; Suppose a function/macro/subr/special-form has N pieces of before advice,
;; M pieces of around advice and K pieces of after advice. Assuming none of
;; the advices is protected, its advised definition will look like this
;; (body-form indices correspond to the position of the respective advice in
;; that advice class):
;; ([macro] lambda <arglist>
;; [ [<advised-docstring>] [(interactive ...)] ]
;; (let (ad-return-value)
;; {<before-0-body-form>}*
;; ....
;; {<before-N-1-body-form>}*
;; {<around-0-body-form>}*
;; {<around-1-body-form>}*
;; ....
;; {<around-M-1-body-form>}*
;; (setq ad-return-value
;; <apply original definition to <arglist>>)
;; {<other-around-M-1-body-form>}*
;; ....
;; {<other-around-1-body-form>}*
;; {<other-around-0-body-form>}*
;; {<after-0-body-form>}*
;; ....
;; {<after-K-1-body-form>}*
;; ad-return-value))
;; Macros are redefined as macros, hence the optional [macro] in the
;; beginning of the definition.
;; <arglist> is either the argument list of the original function or the
;; first argument list defined in the list of before/around/after advices.
;; The values of <arglist> variables can be accessed/changed in the body of
;; an advice by simply referring to them by their original name, however,
;; more portable argument access macros are also provided (see below).
;; <advised-docstring> is an optional, special documentation string which will
;; be expanded into a proper documentation string upon call of `documentation'.
;; (interactive ...) is an optional interactive form either taken from the
;; original function or from a before/around/after advice. For advised
;; interactive subrs that do not have an interactive form specified in any
;; advice we have to use (interactive) and then call the subr interactively
;; if the advised function was called interactively, because the
;; interactive specification of subrs is not accessible. This is the only
;; case where changing the values of arguments will not have an affect
;; because they will be reset by the interactive specification of the subr.
;; If this is a problem one can always specify an interactive form in a
;; before/around/after advice to gain control over argument values that
;; were supplied interactively.
;;
;; Then the body forms of the various advices in the various classes of advice
;; are assembled in order. The forms of around advice L are normally part of
;; one of the forms of around advice L-1. An around advice can specify where
;; the forms of the wrapped or surrounded forms should go with the special
;; keyword `ad-do-it', which will run the forms of the surrounded code.
;; The innermost part of the around advice onion is
;; <apply original definition to <arglist>>
;; whose form depends on the type of the original function. The variable
;; `ad-return-value' will be set to its result. This variable is visible to
;; all pieces of advice which can access and modify it before it gets returned.
;;
;; The semantic structure of advised functions that contain protected pieces
;; of advice is the same. The only difference is that `unwind-protect' forms
;; make sure that the protected advice gets executed even if some previous
;; piece of advice had an error or a non-local exit. If any around advice is
;; protected then the whole around advice onion will be protected.
;; @@ Argument access in advised functions:
;; ========================================
;; As already mentioned, the simplest way to access the arguments of an
;; advised function in the body of an advice is to refer to them by name.
;; To do that, the advice programmer needs to know either the names of the
;; argument variables of the original function, or the names used in the
;; argument list redefinition given in a piece of advice. While this simple
;; method might be sufficient in many cases, it has the disadvantage that it
;; is not very portable because it hardcodes the argument names into the
;; advice. If the definition of the original function changes the advice
;; might break even though the code might still be correct. Situations like
;; that arise, for example, if one advises a subr like `eval-region' which
;; gets redefined in a non-advice style into a function by the edebug
;; package. If the advice assumes `eval-region' to be a subr it might break
;; once edebug is loaded. Similar situations arise when one wants to use the
;; same piece of advice across different versions of Emacs.
;; As a solution to that advice provides argument list access macros that get
;; translated into the proper access forms at activation time, i.e., when the
;; advised definition gets constructed. Access macros access actual arguments
;; by position regardless of how these actual argument get distributed onto
;; the argument variables of a function. The rational behind this is that in
;; Emacs Lisp the semantics of an argument is strictly determined by its
;; position (there are no keyword arguments).
;; Suppose the function `foo' is defined as
;;
;; (defun foo (x y &optional z &rest r) ....)
;;
;; and is then called with
;;
;; (foo 0 1 2 3 4 5 6)
;; which means that X=0, Y=1, Z=2 and R=(3 4 5 6). The assumption is that
;; the semantics of an actual argument is determined by its position. It is
;; this semantics that has to be known by the advice programmer. Then s/he
;; can access these arguments in a piece of advice with some of the
;; following macros (the arrows indicate what value they will return):
;; (ad-get-arg 0) -> 0
;; (ad-get-arg 1) -> 1
;; (ad-get-arg 2) -> 2
;; (ad-get-arg 3) -> 3
;; (ad-get-args 2) -> (2 3 4 5 6)
;; (ad-get-args 4) -> (4 5 6)
;; `(ad-get-arg <position>)' will return the actual argument that was supplied
;; at <position>, `(ad-get-args <position>)' will return the list of actual
;; arguments supplied starting at <position>. Note that these macros can be
;; used without any knowledge about the form of the actual argument list of
;; the original function.
;; Similarly, `(ad-set-arg <position> <value-form>)' can be used to set the
;; value of the actual argument at <position> to <value-form>. For example,
;;
;; (ad-set-arg 5 "five")
;;
;; will have the effect that R=(3 4 "five" 6) once the original function is
;; called. `(ad-set-args <position> <value-list-form>)' can be used to set
;; the list of actual arguments starting at <position> to <value-list-form>.
;; For example,
;;
;; (ad-set-args 0 '(5 4 3 2 1 0))
;;
;; will have the effect that X=5, Y=4, Z=3 and R=(2 1 0) once the original
;; function is called.
;; All these access macros are text macros rather than real Lisp macros. When
;; the advised definition gets constructed they get replaced with actual access
;; forms depending on the argument list of the advised function, i.e., after
;; that argument access is in most cases as efficient as using the argument
;; variable names directly.
;; @@@ Accessing argument bindings of arbitrary functions:
;; =======================================================
;; Some functions (such as `trace-function' defined in trace.el) need a
;; method of accessing the names and bindings of the arguments of an
;; arbitrary advised function. To do that within an advice one can use the
;; special keyword `ad-arg-bindings' which is a text macro that will be
;; substituted with a form that will evaluate to a list of binding
;; specifications, one for every argument variable. These binding
;; specifications can then be examined in the body of the advice. For
;; example, somewhere in an advice we could do this:
;;
;; (let* ((bindings ad-arg-bindings)
;; (firstarg (car bindings))
;; (secondarg (car (cdr bindings))))
;; ;; Print info about first argument
;; (print (format "%s=%s (%s)"
;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'name)
;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'value)
;; (ad-arg-binding-field firstarg 'type)))
;; ....)
;;
;; The `type' of an argument is either `required', `optional' or `rest'.
;; Wherever `ad-arg-bindings' appears a form will be inserted that evaluates
;; to the list of bindings, hence, in order to avoid multiple unnecessary
;; evaluations one should always bind it to some variable.
;; @@@ Argument list mapping:
;; ==========================
;; Because `defadvice' allows the specification of the argument list
;; of the advised function we need a mapping mechanism that maps this
;; argument list onto that of the original function. Hence SYM and
;; NEWDEF have to be properly mapped onto the &rest variable when the
;; original definition is called. Advice automatically takes care of
;; that mapping, hence, the advice programmer can specify an argument
;; list without having to know about the exact structure of the
;; original argument list as long as the new argument list takes a
;; compatible number/magnitude of actual arguments.
;; @@ Activation and deactivation:
;; ===============================
;; The definition of an advised function does not change until all its advice
;; gets actually activated. Activation can either happen with the `activate'
;; flag specified in the `defadvice', with an explicit call or interactive
;; invocation of `ad-activate', or at the time an already advised function
;; gets defined.
;; When a function gets first activated its original definition gets saved,
;; all defined and enabled pieces of advice will get combined with the
;; original definition, the resulting definition might get compiled depending
;; on some conditions described below, and then the function will get
;; redefined with the advised definition. This also means that undefined
;; functions cannot get activated even though they might be already advised.
;; The advised definition will get compiled either if `ad-activate' was called
;; interactively with a prefix argument, or called explicitly with its second
;; argument as t, or, if `ad-default-compilation-action' justifies it according
;; to the current system state. If the advised definition was
;; constructed during "preactivation" (see below) then that definition will
;; be already compiled because it was constructed during byte-compilation of
;; the file that contained the `defadvice' with the `preactivate' flag.
;; `ad-deactivate' can be used to back-define an advised function to its
;; original definition. It can be called interactively or directly. Because
;; `ad-activate' caches the advised definition the function can be
;; reactivated via `ad-activate' with only minor overhead (it is checked
;; whether the current advice state is consistent with the cached
;; definition, see the section on caching below).
;; `ad-activate-regexp' and `ad-deactivate-regexp' can be used to de/activate
;; all currently advised function that have a piece of advice with a name that
;; contains a match for a regular expression. These functions can be used to
;; de/activate sets of functions depending on certain advice naming
;; conventions.
;; Finally, `ad-activate-all' and `ad-deactivate-all' can be used to
;; de/activate all currently advised functions. These are useful to
;; (temporarily) return to an un/advised state.
;; @@@ Reasons for the separation of advice definition and activation:
;; ===================================================================
;; As already mentioned, advising happens in two stages:
;; 1) definition of various pieces of advice
;; 2) activation of all advice currently defined and enabled
;; The advantage of this is that various pieces of advice can be defined
;; before they get combined into an advised definition which avoids
;; unnecessary constructions of intermediate advised definitions. The more
;; important advantage is that it allows the implementation of forward advice.
;; Advice information for a certain function accumulates as the value of the
;; `advice-info' property of the function symbol. This accumulation is
;; completely independent of the fact that the function might not yet be
;; defined. The macros `defun' and `defmacro' check whether the
;; function/macro they defined had advice information
;; associated with it. If so and forward advice is enabled, the original
;; definition will be saved, and then the advice will be activated.
;; @@ Enabling/disabling pieces or sets of advice:
;; ===============================================
;; A major motivation for the development of this advice package was to bring
;; a little bit more structure into the function overloading chaos in Emacs
;; Lisp. Many packages achieve some of their functionality by adding a little
;; bit (or a lot) to the standard functionality of some Emacs Lisp function.
;; ange-ftp is a very popular package that used to achieve its magic by
;; overloading most Emacs Lisp functions that deal with files. A popular
;; function that's overloaded by many packages is `expand-file-name'.
;; The situation that one function is multiply overloaded can arise easily.
;; Once in a while it would be desirable to be able to disable some/all
;; overloads of a particular package while keeping all the rest. Ideally -
;; at least in my opinion - these overloads would all be done with advice,
;; I know I am dreaming right now... In that ideal case the enable/disable
;; mechanism of advice could be used to achieve just that.
;; Every piece of advice is associated with an enablement flag. When the
;; advised definition of a particular function gets constructed (e.g., during
;; activation) only the currently enabled pieces of advice will be considered.
;; This mechanism allows one to have different "views" of an advised function
;; dependent on what pieces of advice are currently enabled.
;; Another motivation for this mechanism is that it allows one to define a
;; piece of advice for some function yet keep it dormant until a certain
;; condition is met. Until then activation of the function will not make use
;; of that piece of advice. Once the condition is met the advice can be
;; enabled and a reactivation of the function will add its functionality as
;; part of the new advised definition. Hence, if somebody
;; else advised these functions too and activates them the advices defined
;; by advice will get used only if they are intended to be used.
;; The main interface to this mechanism are the interactive functions
;; `ad-enable-advice' and `ad-disable-advice'. For example, the following
;; would disable a particular advice of the function `foo':
;;
;; (ad-disable-advice 'foo 'before 'my-advice)
;;
;; This call by itself only changes the flag, to get the proper effect in
;; the advised definition too one has to activate `foo' with
;;
;; (ad-activate 'foo)
;;
;; or interactively. To disable whole sets of advices one can use a regular
;; expression mechanism. For example, let us assume that ange-ftp actually
;; used advice to overload all its functions, and that it used the
;; "ange-ftp-" prefix for all its advice names, then we could temporarily
;; disable all its advices with
;;
;; (ad-disable-regexp "\\`ange-ftp-")
;;
;; and the following call would put that actually into effect:
;;
;; (ad-activate-regexp "\\`ange-ftp-")
;;
;; A safer way would have been to use
;;
;; (ad-update-regexp "\\`ange-ftp-")
;;
;; instead which would have only reactivated currently actively advised
;; functions, but not functions that were currently inactive. All these
;; functions can also be called interactively.
;; A certain piece of advice is considered a match if its name contains a
;; match for the regular expression. To enable ange-ftp again we would use
;; `ad-enable-regexp' and then activate or update again.
;; @@ Forward advice, automatic advice activation:
;; ===============================================
;; Because most Emacs Lisp packages are loaded on demand via an autoload
;; mechanism it is essential to be able to "forward advise" functions.
;; Otherwise, proper advice definition and activation would make it necessary
;; to preload every file that defines a certain function before it can be
;; advised, which would partly defeat the purpose of the advice mechanism.
;; In the following, "forward advice" always implies its automatic activation
;; once a function gets defined, and not just the accumulation of advice
;; information for a possibly undefined function.
;; Advice implements forward advice mainly via the following: 1) Separation
;; of advice definition and activation that makes it possible to accumulate
;; advice information without having the original function already defined,
;; 2) Use of the `defalias-fset-function' symbol property which lets
;; us advise the function when it gets defined.
;; Automatic advice activation means, that whenever a function gets defined
;; with either `defun', `defmacro', `defalias' or by loading a byte-compiled
;; file, and the function has some advice-info stored with it then that
;; advice will get activated right away.
;; @@ Caching of advised definitions:
;; ==================================
;; After an advised definition got constructed it gets cached as part of the
;; advised function's advice-info so it can be reused, for example, after an
;; intermediate deactivation. Because the advice-info of a function might
;; change between the time of caching and reuse a cached definition gets
;; a cache-id associated with it so it can be verified whether the cached
;; definition is still valid (the main application of this is preactivation
;; - see below).
;; When an advised function gets activated and a verifiable cached definition
;; is available, then that definition will be used instead of creating a new
;; advised definition from scratch. If you want to make sure that a new
;; definition gets constructed then you should use `ad-clear-cache' before you
;; activate the advised function.
;; @@ Preactivation:
;; =================
;; Constructing an advised definition is moderately expensive. In a situation
;; where one package defines a lot of advised functions it might be
;; prohibitively expensive to do all the advised definition construction at
;; runtime. Preactivation is a mechanism that allows compile-time construction
;; of compiled advised definitions that can be activated cheaply during
;; runtime. Preactivation uses the caching mechanism to do that. Here's how
;; it works:
;; When the byte-compiler compiles a `defadvice' that has the `preactivate'
;; flag specified, it uses the current original definition of the advised
;; function plus the advice specified in this `defadvice' (even if it is
;; specified as disabled) and all other currently enabled pieces of advice to
;; construct an advised definition and an identifying cache-id and makes them
;; part of the `defadvice' expansion which will then be compiled by the
;; byte-compiler.
;; When the file with the compiled, preactivating `defadvice' gets loaded the
;; precompiled advised definition will be cached on the advised function's
;; advice-info. When it gets activated (can be immediately on execution of the
;; `defadvice' or any time later) the cache-id gets checked against the
;; current state of advice and if it is verified the precompiled definition
;; will be used directly (the verification is pretty cheap). If it couldn't
;; get verified a new advised definition for that function will be built from
;; scratch, hence, the efficiency added by the preactivation mechanism does not
;; at all impair the flexibility of the advice mechanism.
;; MORAL: In order get all the efficiency out of preactivation the advice
;; state of an advised function at the time the file with the
;; preactivating `defadvice' gets byte-compiled should be exactly
;; the same as it will be when the advice of that function gets
;; actually activated. If it is not there is a high chance that the
;; cache-id will not match and hence a new advised definition will
;; have to be constructed at runtime.
;; Preactivation and forward advice do not contradict each other. It is
;; perfectly ok to load a file with a preactivating `defadvice' before the
;; original definition of the advised function is available. The constructed
;; advised definition will be used once the original function gets defined and
;; its advice gets activated. The only constraint is that at the time the
;; file with the preactivating `defadvice' got compiled the original function
;; definition was available.
;; TIPS: Here are some indications that a preactivation did not work the way
;; you intended it to work:
;; - Activation of the advised function takes longer than usual/expected
;; - The byte-compiler gets loaded while an advised function gets
;; activated
;; - `byte-compile' is part of the `features' variable even though you
;; did not use the byte-compiler
;; Right now advice does not provide an elegant way to find out whether
;; and why a preactivation failed. What you can do is to trace the
;; function `ad-cache-id-verification-code' (with the function
;; `trace-function-background' defined in my trace.el package) before
;; any of your advised functions get activated. After they got
;; activated check whether all calls to `ad-cache-id-verification-code'
;; returned `verified' as a result. Other values indicate why the
;; verification failed which should give you enough information to
;; fix your preactivation/compile/load/activation sequence.
;; IMPORTANT: There is one case (that I am aware of) that can make
;; preactivation fail, i.e., a preconstructed advised definition that does
;; NOT match the current state of advice gets used nevertheless. That case
;; arises if one package defines a certain piece of advice which gets used
;; during preactivation, and another package incompatibly redefines that
;; very advice (i.e., same function/class/name), and it is the second advice
;; that is available when the preconstructed definition gets activated, and
;; that was the only definition of that advice so far (`ad-add-advice'
;; catches advice redefinitions and clears the cache in such a case).
;; Catching that would make the cache verification too expensive.
;; MORAL-II: Redefining somebody else's advice is BAAAAD (to speak with
;; George Walker Bush), and why would you redefine your own advice anyway?
;; Advice is a mechanism to facilitate function redefinition, not advice
;; redefinition (wait until I write Meta-Advice :-). If you really have
;; to undo somebody else's advice, try to write a "neutralizing" advice.
;; @@ Advising macros and other dangerous things:
;; ==============================================
;; Look at the corresponding tutorial sections for more information on
;; these topics. Here it suffices to point out that the special treatment
;; of macros can lead to problems when they get advised. Macros can create

;; The non-interactive function `ad-add-advice' can be used to add a piece of

;; @@ Activation/deactivation advices, file load hooks:
;; ====================================================
;; There are two special classes of advice called `activation' and
;; `deactivation'. The body forms of these advices are not included into the
;; advised definition of a function, rather they are assembled into a hook
;; form which will be evaluated whenever the advice-info of the advised
;; function gets activated or deactivated. One application of this mechanism
;; is to define file load hooks for files that do not provide such hooks.
;; For example, suppose you want to print a message whenever `file-x' gets
;; loaded, and suppose the last function defined in `file-x' is
;; `file-x-last-fn'. Then we can define the following advice:
;;
;; (defadvice file-x-last-fn (activation file-x-load-hook)
;; "Executed whenever file-x is loaded"
;; (if load-in-progress (message "Loaded file-x")))
;;
;; This will constitute a forward advice for function `file-x-last-fn' which
;; will get activated when `file-x' is loaded (only if forward advice is
;; enabled of course). Because there are no "real" pieces of advice
;; available for it, its definition will not be changed, but the activation
;; advice will be run during its activation which is equivalent to having a
;; file load hook for `file-x'.

;; ===================================
;; - Definition:
;; A piece of advice gets defined with `defadvice' and added to the
;; `advice-info' property of a function.
;; - Enablement:
;; Every piece of advice has an enablement flag associated with it. Only
;; enabled advices are considered during construction of an advised
;; definition.
;; - Activation:
;; Redefine an advised function with its advised definition. Constructs
;; an advised definition from scratch if no verifiable cached advised
;; definition is available and caches it.
;; - Deactivation:
;; Back-define an advised function to its original definition.
;; - Update:
;; Reactivate an advised function but only if its advice is currently
;; active. This can be used to bring all currently advised function up
;; to date with the current state of advice without also activating
;; currently inactive functions.
;; - Caching:
;; Is the saving of an advised definition and an identifying cache-id so
;; it can be reused, for example, for activation after deactivation.
;; - Preactivation:
;; Is the construction of an advised definition according to the current
;; state of advice during byte-compilation of a file with a preactivating

;; ===============================
;; The following tutorial was created in Emacs 18.59. Left-justified

;;
;; We start by defining an innocent looking function `foo' that simply
;; adds 1 to its argument X:
;;
;; (defun foo (x)
;; "Add 1 to X."
;; (1+ x))
;; foo
;;
;; (foo 3)
;; 4

;; @@ Defining a simple piece of advice:
;; =====================================
;; Now let's define the first piece of advice for `foo'. To do that we
;; use the macro `defadvice' which takes a function name, a list of advice
;; specifiers and a list of body forms as arguments. The first element of
;; the advice specifiers is the class of the advice, the second is its name,
;; the third its position and the rest are some flags. The class of our
;; first advice is `before', its name is `fg-add2', its position among the
;; currently defined before advices (none so far) is `first', and the advice
;; will be `activate'ed immediately. Advice names are global symbols, hence,
;; the name space conventions used for function names should be applied. All
;; advice names in this tutorial will be prefixed with `fg' for `Foo Games'
;; (because everybody has the right to be inconsistent all the function names
;; used in this tutorial do NOT follow this convention).

;; then a piece of advice written for `eval-region' that was written with

;;
;; Argument access text macros allow one to access arguments of an advised
;; function in a portable way without having to worry about all these

;; Advice cannot determine what `interactive' form determines the interactive

;; but not necessarily during evaluation. In particular, any side effects
;; of pieces of advice will occur during macro expansion. To also affect
;; the behavior during evaluation time one has to change the value of

;; (foom '(a))
;; (quote (a))
;; ((a))
;;
;; However, the printing happens during expansion (or byte-compile) time:
;;
;; (macroexpand '(foom '(a)))
;; (quote (a))
;; (list (quote (a)))
;;
;; If we want it to happen during evaluation time we have to do the

;; @@ Caching:
;; ===========
;; Generating an advised definition of a function is moderately expensive,
;; hence, it makes sense to cache it so we can reuse it in appropriate
;; circumstances. Of course, it only makes sense to reuse a cached
;; definition if the current advice and function definition state is the
;; same as it was at the time when the cached definition was generated.
;; For that purpose we associate every cache with an id so we can verify
;; if it is still valid at a certain point in time. This id mechanism
;; makes it possible to preactivate advised functions, write the compiled
;; advised definitions to a file and reuse them during the actual
;; activation without having to risk that the resulting definition will be
;; incorrect, well, almost.
;;
;; A cache id is a list with six elements:
;; 1) the list of names of enabled before advices
;; 2) the list of names of enabled around advices
;; 3) the list of names of enabled after advices
;; 4) the type of the original function (macro, subr, etc.)
;; 5) the arglist of the original definition (or t if it was equal to the
;; arglist of the cached definition)
;; 6) t if the interactive form of the original definition was equal to the
;; interactive form of the cached definition
;;
;; Here's how a cache can get invalidated or be incorrect:
;; A) a piece of advice used in the cache gets redefined
;; B) the current list of enabled advices is different from the ones used
;; for the cache
;; C) the type of the original function changed, e.g., a function became a
;; macro, or a subr became a function
;; D) the arglist of the original function changed
;; E) the interactive form of the original function changed
;; F) a piece of advice used in the cache got redefined before the
;; defadvice with the cached definition got loaded: This is a PROBLEM!
;;
;; Cases A and B are the normal ones. A is taken care of by `ad-add-advice'
;; which clears the cache in such a case, B is easily checked during
;; verification at activation time.
;;
;; Cases C, D and E have to be considered if one is slightly paranoid, i.e.,
;; if one considers the case that the original function could be different
;; from the one available at caching time (e.g., for forward advice of
;; functions that get redefined by some packages - such as `eval-region' gets
;; redefined by edebug). All these cases can be easily checked during
;; verification. Element 4 of the id lets one check case C, element 5 takes
;; care of case D (using t in the equality case saves some space, because the
;; arglist can be recovered at validation time from the cached definition),
;; and element 6 takes care of case E which is only a problem if the original
;; was actually a function whose interactive form was not overridden by a
;; piece of advice.
;;
;; Case F is the only one which will lead to an incorrect advised function.
;; There is no way to avoid this without storing the complete advice definition
;; in the cache-id which is not feasible.
;;
;; The cache-id of a typical advised function with one piece of advice and
;; no arglist redefinition takes 7 conses which is a small price to pay for
;; the added efficiency. The validation itself is also pretty cheap, certainly
;; a lot cheaper than reconstructing an advised definition.

;; Preactivation can be used to generate compiled advised definitions

;; it involves the following steps:
;; - remembering the function's current state (definition and advice-info)
;; - advising it with the defined piece of advice
;; - clearing its cache
;; - generating an interpreted advised definition by activating it, this will
;; make use of all its current active advice and its current definition
;; - saving the so generated cached definition and id
;; - resetting the function's advice and definition state to what it was
;; before the preactivation
;; - Returning the saved definition and its id to be used in the expansion of
;; `defadvice' to assign it as an initial cache, hence it will be compiled
;; at time the `defadvice' gets compiled.
;; Naturally, for preactivation to be effective it has to be applied/compiled
;; at the right time, i.e., when the current state of advices and function
;; definition exactly reflects the state at activation time. Should that not
;; be the case, the precompiled definition will just be discarded and a new

"Define a piece of advice for FUNCTION (a symbol).
The syntax of `defadvice' is as follows:
(defadvice FUNCTION (CLASS NAME [POSITION] [ARGLIST] FLAG...)
[DOCSTRING] [INTERACTIVE-FORM]
BODY...)
FUNCTION ::= Name of the function to be advised.
CLASS ::= `before' | `around' | `after' | `activation' | `deactivation'.
NAME ::= Non-nil symbol that names this piece of advice.
POSITION ::= `first' | `last' | NUMBER. Optional, defaults to `first',
see also `ad-add-advice'.
ARGLIST ::= An optional argument list to be used for the advised function
instead of the argument list of the original. The first one found in
before/around/after-advices will be used.
FLAG ::= `protect'|`disable'|`activate'|`compile'|`preactivate'.
All flags can be specified with unambiguous initial substrings.
DOCSTRING ::= Optional documentation for this piece of advice.
INTERACTIVE-FORM ::= Optional interactive form to be used for the advised
function. The first one found in before/around/after-advices will be used.
BODY ::= Any s-expression.
Semantics of the various flags:
`protect': The piece of advice will be protected against non-local exits in
any code that precedes it. If any around-advice of a function is protected
then automatically all around-advices will be protected (the complete onion).
`activate': All advice of FUNCTION will be activated immediately if
FUNCTION has been properly defined prior to this application of `defadvice'.
`compile': In conjunction with `activate' specifies that the resulting
advised function should be compiled.
`disable': The defined advice will be disabled, hence, it will not be used
during activation until somebody enables it.
`preactivate': Preactivates the advised FUNCTION at macro-expansion/compile
time. This generates a compiled advised definition according to the current
advice state that will be used during activation if appropriate. Only use
this if the `defadvice' gets actually compiled.
