With emacs -Q do

C-h v comment-start RET

gets me

comment-start is a variable defined in `newcomment.el'
...

Now load cc-mode in a new buffer, return to scratch, and do again

C-h v comment-start RET

gets me

comment-start is a variable defined in `cc-engine.el'
...

If I now click on `cc-engine.el' I am told

find-function-search-for-symbol: Cannot find definition of `comment-start' in library `cc-engine.el'

The same holds for `comment-end' and `comment-start-skip'.

Would it be possible to rename these to `c-comment-start',
`c-comment-end', and `c-comment-start-skip' in `cc-langs.el'?

Yes, me too.  This is indeed not funny (Ha ha ha ha!)  I'm not sure why
it reports cc-engine.el, but better just to fix it.

>If I now click on `cc-engine.el' I am told

The definition is actually in cc-langs.el, ~L1106:

    (c-lang-defvar comment-start (c-lang-const comment-start)
      'dont-doc)

What seems needed is a new macro c-lang-SETvar, a sister to
c-lang-defvar.  I'll write this.

>The same holds for `comment-end' and `comment-start-skip'.

Yes, indeed.  A quick grep for "(c-lang-defvar " reveals that these are
the only non-CC Mode variables redefined in this way.

>Would it be possible to rename these to `c-comment-start',
>`c-comment-end', and `c-comment-start-skip' in `cc-langs.el'?

No, that's not the right thing.  The idea is to give the standard Emacs
variables the appropriate CC Mode settings (different for each CC mode).

Thanks for the bug report.

While you're here: What about C-h v for non-non-CC Mode variables
defined this way?  And maybe

(put 'c-lang-defconst 'doc-string-elt 2)

and eventually

(put 'c-lang-defvar 'doc-string-elt 3)

for ease of reading cc-langs.el?

Sincerely, martin.

I'm sure now!  Near the start of cc-engine.el, there's a macro
c-declare-lang-variables, which generates a defvar for each symbol stored
inside c-lang-variable-inits.  3 of these symbols are comment-start and
friends.

Some of them (more precisely, those intended to be available to derived
modes) have doc-strings.  Others are specifically marked as _not_ having
doc strings.  This has been a little contentious on emacs-devel recently,
but if it is to change, it should be done over the whole code atomically.

>.. And maybe

What's doc-string-elt?  (OK, I can guess, but I can't find it in the
Elisp manual).

>and eventually

>(put 'c-lang-defvar 'doc-string-elt 3)

>for ease of reading cc-langs.el?

I'm in the middle of documenting the entire language variable mechanism.
This thing is a tremendous achievement and saves hours of work, but it is
somewhat sparsely commented, and hence difficult to debug.  Give me a few
days!

OK, here is a patch.

Basically, the declarations like (c-lang-defvar comment-start ....) (in
cc-langs.el ~L1131) were causing forms (defvar comment-start ...) to get
generated in cc-engine.el (via the macro c-declare-lang-variables).

I have added the macro c-lang-setvar which does all the fancy stuff that
c-lang-defvar does, only without generating the defvar.

Please let me know if there are any problems with this patch.


2006-07-20  Alan Mackenzie  <acm@muc.de>

	* progmodes/cc-langs.el (c-emacs-variable-inits): new variable.
	(c-lang-setvar): new macro.
	(c-make-init-lang-vars-fun): Use the initialization forms in
	c-emacs-variable-inits in addition to those in c-lang-variable-inits.
	(comment-start, comment-end, comment-start-skip): Change these from
	c-lang-defvar's to c-lang-setvar's.

	* progmodes/cc-mode.el (c-make-emacs-variables-local): new macro,
	which calls make-local-variable on the elements of
	c-emacs-variable-inits.
	(c-init-language-vars-for): Call this new macro.

Good evening, Alan!

I'm afraid the patch doesn't change a thing in the behavior of my Emacs.
Would I have to do anything else but patch&recompile these two files?

Anyway, if I look at `load-history', the definitions from cc-engine.elc
still precede textually those from newcomment.elc, doesn't that come from
(c-lang-defconst comment-start ... ?

For some reason clearing some of them old cc-*.elc files seems necessary.
It's probably been too hot today to think of that myself.

Everything works as intended.  Thank you!

Sorry!  I should have given you a recipe here, since there's a rather
intricate chain of macros involved.  In particular, cc-engine.elc must be
recompiled, since this contains the spurious (defvar comment-start).  It
is perhaps better to clear out the old cc-*.elc and recompile them all
fresh:

  $ cd .../emacs/lisp/progmodes
  $ rm cc-*.elc
  $ emacs -batch -no-site-file -q -f batch-byte-compile cc-*.el

No, not directly.  c-lang-defconst defines (or sets) a symbol in the
obarray `c-lang-constants', and has no effect outside of that obarray.
It is c-lang-defvar which (indirectly) (!used to) redefine
`comment-start', thusly:

(c-lang-defvar c-assignment-op-regexp) collects information from the
aforementioned obarray `c-lang-constants', and dumps it into the list
`c-lang-variable-inits'.  This is later used:

(i) in cc-engine.el, where macro `c-declare-lang-variables' generates
    (defvar c-assignment-op-regexp)
    (make-variable-buffer-local 'c-assignment-op-regexp)
(ii) in macro `c-init-language-vars' (called from cc-mode.el), where an
    appropriate lisp form for one of the seven languages (C, C++, ...) is
    dumped into a setq.  e.g., for C:
    (setq c-assignment-op-regexp
          "=\\([^=]\\|$\\)\\|\\(?:<<\\|>>\\|[%&*+/|^-]\\)=")

One of my high priority TODOs is to document this mechanism more clearly
in the source files (probably in cc-langs.el).

Would you please try this again after recompiling cc-*.el.  Thanks!
