Hello, Lars.
Why did you make this change:
* progmodes/cc-mode.el
(c-standard-font-lock-fontify-region-function): Set the default at
load time, too, so that `font-lock-fontify-buffer' can be called
without setting up the entire mode first. This fixes a bug in
`mm-inline-text' with C MIME parts.
without so much as a discussion on bug-cc-mode? Or even emacs-devel?
cc-mode.el is my file. I'm not happy about this change.
Is "the entire mode first" CC Mode first or font lock mode first?
Why, should the case be, would you want to call font-lock-fontify-buffer
without initialising font lock mode first? Would this not, perhaps,
indicate some other problem in mm-inline-text?
Why, if the case may be, would you not want to initialise CC Mode? This
is a genuine question, not a rhetorical one.

mm sets `font-lock-mode-hook' (and friends) to nil to avoid problems
when calling `(font-lock-fontify-buffer)', if I remember correctly.
Since it's that hook that sets
`c-standard-font-lock-fontify-region-function' (which is nil by
default), this breaks when viewing C mode files.
Is there any reason why `c-standard-font-lock-fontify-region-function'
is nil, when this makes just calling `(font-lock-fontify-buffer)' not
work? All the other modes seem to work fine.

I think the point is to inhibit anything that could delay fontification.
Please see (the whole) bug#10063 thread [1]. The bogus buffer local
binding of font-lock-mode-hook in mm-display-inline-fontify is still
there, by the way.

You cannot get away with this. These hooks belong to the major mode (or
perhaps the user), and if you arbitrarily inhibit them, then font lock,
in the general case, will not be fully initialised.

Again, why are you breaking these hook calls? This seems to be a very
bad solution to whatever the problem was.

font-lock-fontify-region will work fine if you just initialise font lock
fully. That involves running the hook.
> All the other modes seem to work fine.
Then you've been lucky, so far. What in mm gets upset by running
font-lock-mode-hook?
Setting that variable to font-lock-default-fontify-region at build time
couples CC Mode and font lock mode too closely. In particular, it will
prevent CC Mode loading on any system in which font lock is not present.

As Wolfgang Jenkner said, I think it has something to do with disabling
the delayed fontification modes. But I'm not actually sure -- the code
has been that way forever, and I probably didn't write it.

It works for all modes tested, except C mode, apparently.

So there is no reason?

What systems would this be?
As far as I can tell from the cc-mode code, `c-font-lock-fontify-region'
unconditionally calls `c-standard-font-lock-fontify-region-function'.
Furthermore, `c-standard-font-lock-fontify-region-function' doesn't seem
to be set to anything other than `(default-value
'font-lock-fontify-region-function)'. And the variable is not a
user-level variable, which seems to make the entire tap-dance routine
here rather ... odd.
Why not just call `(default-value 'font-lock-fontify-region-function)'
unconditionally?

Try this instead: It solves the actual problem stated in the comment,

But, do you actually have to suppress these support modes? They're there
to fontify text screens faster. Why disable them? Nowadays, with faster
HW than ever, it seems pointless even to bother. You've admitted, I
think, that you don't know why that code is there. You could just rip it
out.

How do you know? font-lock-mode-hook is used by hi-lock mode,
cperl-mode, sql mode, ada mode, verilog mode, and CC Mode. One of these
is definitely being broken. The others probably are, if you ever use
them.
The point is, you are reaching into other major modes and messing them
up to an unknown extent. This is not good programming practice.

XEmacs, of course, which is the only system you need to mask out
turn-on-lazy-lock and friends for.

It's unclean programming, and won't work properly under XEmacs.

The buffer where the fontification happens is not displayed, instead its
content is inserted in a buffer with a different major-mode, and in
between emacs stays never idle for the font-lock support functions to
kick in.

Actually, a real fix to this problem involves adding new a font-lock
function, which I like to call font-lock-ensure-fontification, which
mm-view would then call to force immediate fontification of the
specified region. This function would know how to handle jit-lock,
lazy-lock, and whichever other accelerator we come up with.
Such a functionality is also needed in other packages, such as
in htmlfontify. We have a bug report for this, but I can't find it
any more.

You may well be right, but looking at the code, I don't really see why.
There's one single consumer of
`c-standard-font-lock-fontify-region-function'? There's one single
place it's set? If it isn't set, the function breaks unconditionally?
Or is it set to something else under XEmacs (in code that's not in the
Emacs 24 tree)?

I'm not sure I've fully understood you here. Certainly in JIT lock mode
(the default under GNU Emacs), and probably under lazy-lock too, "no"
runtime is consumed until the buffer is displayed.
font-lock-fontify-buffer (without a support mode) will take some time,
sometimes quite a lot.

I Don't understand. Why is the forcing of immediate fontification ever
necessary? That's what JIT lock does, isn't it?

No, it's identical in XEmacs.

So, how about this patch? Would it work for what you need to do? As
yet, I've no clear understanding of what your mode is trying to do here,
or why. I'd appreciate you filling in the gaps for me.

This is the main point. You are knowingly sabotaging the initialisation
of modes that you use. This is bad. Please respond to this point.

JIT lock is only involved when the buffer is displayed directly.
In htmlfontify or ps-print, we need to fontify the buffer even if it's
not displayed because the output (HTML or Postscript) wants to include
the fact info that font-lock adds.
In the mm-view case it's similar: the buffer itself is not displayed,
instead its content is copied into some other buffer (which uses
another major-mode). We could setup this other buffer so that jit-lock
there is redirected to apply font-lock to the internal buffer after
which the result is copied back into the displayed buffer, but instead
mm-view just font-locks the whole buffer eagerly, which is simpler, tho
it loses the laziness of jit-lock.

I thought Stefan and Wolfgang had answered the question.
The fontification takes place in one buffer, and the result is then
copied over to a different buffer.

There have been no bug reports on other modes; just C mode.
You still haven't responded to my question of why CC mode does the
initialisation of this variable in this rather baroque way:

The code does not seem to make sense as it is, but I may well be
misreading it.

OK, I've got this now. ;-)

That's scarcely the point. It's an accident waiting to happen again,
just as it has already happened once.

If font-lock-fontify-region-function doesn't exist (font-lock-mode hasn't
(yet) been loaded (xemacs)), trying to access its value will throw an
error.

The reason for inhibiting font-lock-mode-hook in
mm-view-display-inline-fontify is that otherwise one of two functions
(turn-on-lazy-lock, turn-on-fast-lock) might get called, and that
font-lock-support-mode would prevent the desired immediate fontification
of the whole buffer. Solely in XEmacs, of course.
Therefore, you don't need to switch off the entire font-lock-mode-hook;
you merely have to remove these two functions from it, which can be done
very simply by binding font-lock-mode-hook and using remove-hook.
Again, please try my patch (after putting `copy-list' into the binding of
font-lock-mode-hook ;-).
