;;; syncable.

;;; Commentary:

;; This code keeps auto-autoloads.el files up to date.  It interprets
;; magic cookies (of the form ";;;###autoload" in Lisp source files
;; and "/* ###autoload */" in C source files) in various useful ways.
;; It is also used to maintain custom-defines.el files, since most of
;; the logic for computing them is the same as for auto-autoloads.el.

;; Usage
;; =====

;; Recommended usage for this library, as implemented in the core
;; build process, is

;; sxemacs -no-packages -batch \
;;        -l autoload -f batch-update-directory-autoloads PREFIX DIRECTORY

;; which causes XEmacs to update the file named by PATH from the .el
;; files in DIRECTORY (but not recursing into subdirectories) and (if
;; the autoload file is not already protected with a feature test) add
;; a check and provide for 'PREFIX-autoloads.  Currently there is no
;; sanity check for the provided feature; it is recommended that you
;; nuke any existing auto-autoloads.el before running the command.

;; There is not yet a recommended API for updating multiple directories
;; into a single auto-autoloads file.  Using the recipe above for each
;; DIRECTORY with the same PATH should work but has not been tested.
;; There is no API for recursing into subdirectories.  There probably
;; won't be; given the wide variety of ways that existing Lisp packages
;; arrange their files, and the fact that source packages and installed
;; packages have a somewhat different directory structure, this seems far
;; too risky.  Use a script or a Lisp library with an explicit list of
;; PATHs; see update-elc.el for how to do this without recursive invocation
;; of XEmacs).

;; The probable next step is to fix up the packages to use the
;; `batch-update-directory-autoloads' API.  However, for backward
;; compatibility with XEmacs 21.4 and 21.1, this can't be done quickly.

;; For backward compatibility the API used in the packages/XEmacs.rules:

;; sxemacs -vanilla -batch -eval "$(AUTOLOAD_PACKAGE_NAME)" \
;;        -l autoload -f batch-update-autoloads $(AUTOLOAD_PATH)

;; is supported, and the implementation is unchanged.  However,
;; revision of the API (in a backward compatible way) and the
;; implementation are planned, and until those stabilize it is too
;; risky to use this version of XEmacs for package releases.

;; Implementation:
;; ===============

;; #### This section should be moved to the Internals manual, or
;; (maybe) the Lispref, and integrated with the information above.
;; Don't believe anything written here; the code is still a mess, and
;; this is a lot of guesswork.

;; Autoloads are used in a number of contexts, including core Lisp,
;; packaged Lisp, and ELLs (dynamically loadable compiled objects
;; providing Lisp functionality).  There two general strategies for
;; collecting autoloads.  The first is to put autoloads for a package
;; in a package-specific auto-autoloads file.  This is easy to
;; implement, and allows packages to be distributed with prebuilt
;; auto-autoloads files.  The second is to collect all the autoloads
;; in a single global auto-autoloads file.  This is alleged to speed
;; up initialization significantly, but requires care to ensure that
;; auto-autoloads files remain synchronized with the libraries.

;; The traditional logic for determining where to put autoload
;; definitions is complex and is now deprecated.  The special variable
;; `generated-autoload-file' is used to hold the path to the file, and
;; is initialized to the traditional (well, it's a new tradition with
;; XEmacs 20) $blddir/lisp/auto-autoloads.el.  However, this variable
;; may be bound by calling code, or may be generated at collect time
;; and I'm not even sure the initialized value was ever used any more.

;; Because there may be multiple auto-autoloads files in use (in XEmacs
;; 21.x with a full complement of packages there are dozens), and they may
;; contain initializations that would be dangerous to reexecute, each is
;; protected by a feature test.  By convention, the feature symbol is of
;; the form "NAME-autoloads".  For packages, the special variable
;; `autoload-package-name' is used to determine NAME.  In the core,
;; autoloads are defined in the modules (all of which are collected in a
;; single auto-autoloads file), using NAME=modules, in the lisp directory
;; using NAME=lisp, and in the lisp/mule directory, using NAME=mule, for
;; the autoloads feature.  These latter are computed by the autoloads
;; function at collect time.

;; ChangeLog:

;; See ./ChangeLog.

;;; Code:

;; Need to load easy-mmode because we expand macro calls to easy-mmode
;; macros in make-autoloads below.
