How to highlight UUID in all buffes?

How to highlight UUID in all buffes?

[Jean Louis]

I would like to highlight UUID in all buffers, how to do it?

Complete guide to Universal Unique Identifiers (UUID) | UUIDTools.com:
https://www.uuidtools.com/what-is-uuid

So I wish to get Emacs regular expression from reference:

UUID Regular Expression (REGEX)

The regex below can be used to validate the format of UUIDs:

[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}

Write that in Elisp and then get it font locked like this ...

(font-lock-add-keywords 'emacs-lisp-mode
 '(
   ("font-lock-builtin-face"              .  font-lock-builtin-face)

   ("font-lock-string-face"               .  font-lock-string-face)
   ("font-lock-type-face"                 .  font-lock-type-face)

Now I found regular expression in library thingatpt:

(defconst thing-at-point-uuid-regexp
  (rx bow
      (repeat 8 hex-digit) "-"
      (repeat 4 hex-digit) "-"
      (repeat 4 hex-digit) "-"
      (repeat 4 hex-digit) "-"
      (repeat 12 hex-digit)
      eow)
  "A regular expression matching a UUID.
See RFC 4122 for the description of the format.")

How to invoke highlighting in every buffer on UUID?

Use font-lock-add-keywords?

I have tried this:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'mail-mode '((thing-at-point-uuid-regexp 1 'link)))

77cf1d78-9b35-4f20-a240-9ef1552702f4

But I don't see it working.

Try:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'mail-mode `((,(concat "\\(" thing-at-point-uuid-regexp "\\)") 1 'link)))

When I do: 

{M-x font-lock-update RET}

I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function thing-at-point-uuid-regexp)
  thing-at-point-uuid-regexp(565)

You need to eval the defconst when creating the list (with a backquote
construct), and replace the 1 with 0 because your regular expression
does not use any groups.  That is:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'mail-mode `((,thing-at-point-uuid-regexp 0 'link)))

Your added the keyword wrongly earlier. Try fock-lock-remove-keywords, or
simply restart your emacs.

I still can't get that to work. Does it work on your side?

FWIW, that works for me.

But, 'font-lock-update' isn't enough to refontify the buffer. Turning
mail-mode ON/OFF triggers the fontification update.
