Thanks for posting this - there have definitely been times I could have
used it.
I made one modification to the part where it searches for an existing
block of declarations, changing the regexp to:
(format "%s\\(.\\|\n\\)*%s" section-begin section-end)
Because "." doesn't match newlines.
I also gave both functions an optional argument STATIC-ONLY to only
collect functions declared static, since that's generally what I've
wanted.
The result with those tweaks, in case it's useful to anyone:
(defun c-collect-defun-signatures (&optional static-only)
"Return a list of C function signatures found in the buffer."
(let ((regexp (if static-only
"\\(static .*(.*)\\)[^(){}]*{"
"\\(.*(.*)\\)[^(){}]*{"))
(signatures '())
(last-defun -1))
(goto-char (point-min))
(end-of-defun)
(beginning-of-defun)
(while (/= last-defun (point))
(setf last-defun (point))
(when (re-search-forward regexp nil t)
(push (match-string 1) signatures))
(end-of-defun)
(end-of-defun)
(beginning-of-defun))
signatures))
(defun c-update-forward-defun-signatures (&optional static-only)
"Update the forward function signatures.
If a section doesn't already exist, creates it at point."
(interactive "*P")
(let ((signatures (save-excursion
(nreverse (c-collect-defun-signatures static-only))))
(section-begin "// BEGIN FORWARD FUNCTION SIGNATURES\n")
(section-end "// END FORWARD FUNCTION SIGNATURES\n"))
(goto-char (or (save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(when (re-search-forward
(format "%s\\(.\\|\n\\)*%s" section-begin
section-end)
nil t)
(delete-region (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0))
(match-beginning 0)))
(point)))
(insert section-begin)
(dolist (signature signatures)
(insert signature ";\n"))
(insert section-end)))
