27 ;; The idea behind magic variables is that you can specify arbitrary
|
|
28 ;; behavior to happen when setting or retrieving a variable's value. The
|
|
29 ;; purpose of this is to make it possible to cleanly provide support for
|
|
30 ;; obsolete variables (e.g. unread-command-event, which is obsolete for
|
|
31 ;; unread-command-events) and variable compatibility
|
|
32 ;; (e.g. suggest-key-bindings, the FSF equivalent of
|
|
33 ;; teach-extended-commands-p and teach-extended-commands-timeout).
|
|
34 ;;
|
|
35 ;; There are a large number of functions pertaining to a variable's
|
|
36 ;; value:
|
|
37 ;;
|
|
38 ;; boundp
|
|
39 ;; globally-boundp
|
|
40 ;; makunbound
|
|
41 ;; symbol-value
|
|
42 ;; set / setq
|
|
43 ;; default-boundp
|
|
44 ;; default-value
|
|
45 ;; set-default / setq-default
|
|
46 ;; make-variable-buffer-local
|
|
47 ;; make-local-variable
|
|
48 ;; kill-local-variable
|
|
49 ;; kill-console-local-variable
|
|
50 ;; symbol-value-in-buffer
|
|
51 ;; symbol-value-in-console
|
|
52 ;; local-variable-p / local-variable-if-set-p
|
|
53 ;;
|
|
54 ;; Plus some "meta-functions":
|
|
55 ;;
|
|
56 ;; defvaralias
|
|
57 ;; variable-alias
|
|
58 ;; indirect-variable
|
|
59 ;;
|
|
60 ;; I wanted an implementation that:
|
|
61 ;;
|
|
62 ;; -- would work with all the above functions, but (a) didn't require
|
|
63 ;; a separate handler for every function, and (b) would work OK
|
|
64 ;; even if more functions are added (e.g. `set-symbol-value-in-buffer'
|
|
65 ;; or `makunbound-default') or if more arguments are added to a
|
|
66 ;; function.
|
|
67 ;; -- avoided consing if at all possible.
|
|
68 ;; -- didn't slow down operations on non-magic variables (therefore,
|
|
69 ;; storing the magic information using `put' is ruled out).
|
|
70 ;;
|
|
71
|
|
72 ;;; Code:
|
|
73
|
|
74 ;; perhaps this should check whether the functions are bound, so that
|
|
75 ;; some handlers can be unspecified. That requires that all functions
|
|
76 ;; are defined before `define-magic-variable-handlers' is called,
|
|
77 ;; though.
|
|
78
|
|
79 ;; perhaps there should be something that combines
|
|
80 ;; `define-magic-variable-handlers' with `defvaralias'.
