1 speedbar
**********

Speedbar supports the display of tags through the Semantic parser.  To
use this utility, add a line like this to your '.emacs' file:

     (add-hook 'speedbar-load-hook (lambda () (require 'semantic-sb)))

or you can simply add:

     (require 'semantic-sb)

Once installed, speedbar will use semantic to find tags, and will
display them appropriately.  Tags from semantic will have additional
details which can be seen, such as return type, or arguments to
functions.

If you use 'semantic-load.el', you do not need to add the above lines in
your '.emacs' file.

Two additional speedbar modes are described in *note Speedbar
Analysis::, and *note Class Browser::.

2 ECB
*****

From the ECB Website: <http://ecb.sourceforge.net>:

     ECB is a source code browser for Emacs. It is a global minor-mode
     which displays a couple of windows that can be used to browse
     directories, files and file-contents like methods and variables.

\1f
File: semantic-user.info,  Node: imenu,  Next: senator,  Prev: ECB,  Up: Top

3 imenu
*******

There is special support for creating Imenu entries using semantic.
This is a highly customizable tool which can create specialized menu
systems for navigating your source file.

By default, each language that wants special imenu support will set
itself up for it.  To setup imenu for your buffers, use this command in
your '.emacs' file:

     (add-hook 'semantic-init-hooks (lambda ()
                                           (imenu-add-to-menubar "TAGS")))

Also supported is "which-func-mode".  This usually uses imenu tags to
show the current function.  The semantic support for this function uses
overlays, which is much faster.

If you use 'semantic-load.el', you do not need to add the above lines in
your '.emacs' file.

You can customize imenu with the following options:

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-summary-function
     Function to use when creating items in Imenu.  Some useful
     functions are found in 'semantic-format-tag-functions'.

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-bucketize-file
     Non-'nil' if tags in a file are to be grouped into buckets.

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-buckets-to-submenu
     Non-'nil' if buckets of tags are to be turned into submenus.  This
     option is ignored if 'semantic-imenu-bucketize-file' is nil.

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-expand-type-members
     Non-'nil' if types should have submenus with members in them.

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-bucketize-type-members
     Non-'nil' if members of a type should be grouped into buckets.
     'nil' means to keep them in the same order.  Overriden to 'nil' if
     'semantic-imenu-bucketize-file' is nil.

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-sort-bucket-function
     Function to use when sorting tags in the buckets of functions.  See
     "semantic-bucketize" and the FILTER argument for more details on
     this function.

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-index-directory
     Non 'nil' to index the entire directory for tags.  Doesn't actually
     parse the entire directory, but displays tags for all files
     currently listed in the current Semantic database.  This variable
     has no meaning if semanticdb is not active.

 -- Option: semantic-imenu-auto-rebuild-directory-indexes
     If non-'nil' automatically rebuild directory index imenus.  That is
     when a directory index imenu is updated, automatically rebuild
     other buffer local ones based on the same semanticdb.

When adding support to a language, this variable may need to be set:

 -- Variable: semantic-imenu-expandable-tag-classes
     List of expandable tag classes.  Tags of those classes will be
     given submenu with children.  By default, a 'type' has interesting
     children.  In Texinfo, however, a 'section' has interesting
     children.

4 senator
*********

Senator stands for SEmantic NAvigaTOR and was written by David Ponce.

This library defines commands and a minor mode to navigate and manage
semantic language tags in the current buffer.

4.1 Commands
============

The following user level commands are provided by Senator.

4.1.1 Navigation
----------------

 -- Function: senator-next-tag
     Navigate to the next Semantic tag.  Return the tag or 'nil' if at
     end of buffer.

 -- Function: senator-previous-tag
     Navigate to the previous Semantic tag.  Return the tag or 'nil' if
     at beginning of buffer.

 -- Function: senator-jump
     Jump to the semantic symbol SYM.

     If optional IN-CONTEXT is non-'nil' jump in the local type's
     context (see function "senator-current-type-context").  If optional
     NO-DEFAULT is non-'nil' do not provide a default value.

     When called interactively you can combine the IN-CONTEXT and
     NO-DEFAULT switches like this:

     - 'C-u' IN-CONTEXT.  - 'C-u' - NO-DEFAULT.  - 'C-u' 'C-u'
     IN-CONTEXT + NO-DEFAULT.

4.1.2 Searching
---------------

Searching using senator mode restricts the search only to the definition
text, such as the name of the functions or variables in a given buffer.

 -- Command: senator-isearch-toggle-semantic-mode
     Toggle semantic searching on or off in isearch mode.  'C-c , i'
     toggle semantic searching.

 -- Command: senator-search-forward what &optional bound noerror count
 -- Command: senator-search-backward what &optional bound noerror count
     Search semantic tags forward or backward from point for string
     WHAT.  Set point to the end of the occurrence found, and return
     point.  See "search-forward" for details and the meaning of BOUND
     NOERROR and COUNT.  COUNT is just ignored in the current
     implementation.

 -- Command: re-search-forward regex
 -- Command: re-search-backward regex
     Search forward and backward for a token matching the regular
     expression REGEX.

 -- Command: word-search-forward word
 -- Command: word-search-backward word
     Search forward and backward for a token whose name matches WORD.

4.1.3 Completion
----------------

Completion in senator scans all known definitions in the local file, and
uses that information to provide the completion.

 -- Command: senator-complete-symbol &optional cycle-once
     Complete the current symbol under point.  If optional argument
     CYCLE-ONCE is non-'nil', only cycle through the list of completions
     once, doing nothing where there are no more matches.

 -- Command: senator-completion-menu-popup
     Popup a completion menu for the symbol at point.  The popup menu
     displays all of the possible completions for the symbol it was
     invoked on.  To automatically split large menus this function use
     "imenu-mouse-menu" to handle the popup menu.

4.1.4 Copy/Paste
----------------

Token Copy/Paste is a high level form of the typical copy yank used by
Emacs.  Copying a tag saves the meta-information related to the function
or item the cursor is currently in.  When that information is yanked
into a new buffer, the form of the text created is based on the current
status of the programming buffer.

For example, pasting a function into a different file results in a
function call template to be inserted.  In a Texinfo file, a @deffn is
created with documentation for that function or command.

 -- Command: senator-copy-tag
     Take the current tag, and place it in the tag ring.

 -- Command: senator-kill-tag
     Take the current tag, place it in the tag ring, and kill it.
     Killing the tag removes the text for that tag, and places it into
     the kill ring.  Retrieve that text with 'C-y'.

 -- Command: senator-yank-tag
     Yank a tag from the tag ring.  The form the tag takes is differnet
     depending on where it is being yanked to.

 -- Command: senator-copy-tag-to-register register &optional kill-flag
     Copy the current tag into REGISTER.  Optional argument KILL-FLAG
     will delete the text of the tag to the kill ring.

For programmers, to provide specialized pasting, created an override
function for 'insert-foreign-tag' (see *note (semantic-langdev)Writing
Parsers::.)

4.1.5 Minor Mode
----------------

 -- Command: senator-minor-mode
     Toggle the SEmantic NAvigaTOR key bindings in the current buffer.

     The following default key bindings are provided when semantic minor
     mode is enabled:

     <C-c , n>
          senator-next-tag
     <C-c , p>
          senator-previous-tag
     <C-c , i>
          senator-isearch-toggle-semantic-mode
     <C-c , j>
          semantic-complete-jump-local
     <C-c , J>
          semantic-complete-jump
     <C-c , TAB>
          senator-complete-symbol
     <C-c , SPC>
          senator-completion-menu-popup
     <C-c , C-y>
          senator-yank-tag
     <C-c , C-w>
          senator-kill-tag
     <C-c , M-w>
          senator-copy-tag
     <C-c , +>
          senator-unfold-tag
     <C-c , ->
          senator-fold-tag

4.2 Customization
=================

To enable the Senator keymap in all modes that support semantic parsing,
use this:

     (add-hook 'semantic-init-hooks 'senator-minor-mode)

If you use 'semantic-load.el', you do not need to add the above lines in
your '.emacs' file.

To customize navigation around different types of tokens, use the
following variables:

 -- Option: senator-step-at-tag-classes
     List of tag classes where to step.  A tag class is a symbol like
     ''variable', ''function', ''type', or other.  If 'nil' navigation
     steps at any tag found.  This is a buffer local variable.  It can
     be set in a mode hook to get a specific langage navigation.

 -- Option: senator-step-at-start-end-tag-classes
     List of tag classes where to step at start and end.  A tag class is
     a symbol like ''variable', ''function', ''type', or other.  If
     'nil', navigation only step at beginning of tags.  If 't', step at
     start and end of any tag where it is allowed to step.  Also,
     stepping at start and end of a tag prevent stepping inside its
     components.  This is a buffer local variable.  It can be set in a
     mode hook to get a specific langage navigation.

To have a mode specific customization, do something like this in a hook:

     (add-hook 'mode-hook
               (lambda ()
                 (setq senator-step-at-tag-classes '(function variable))
                 (setq senator-step-at-start-end-tag-classes '(function))
                 ))

This will cause navigation and search commands to stop only between
functions and variables, and to step at start and end of functions only.

5 Analyzer
**********

The semantic analyzer is a library tool that performs context analysis
and can derive useful information.

 -- Command: semantic-analyze-current-context position
     Analyze the current context at POSITION.  If called interactively,
     display interesting information about POSITION in a separate
     buffer.  Returns an object based on symbol
     "semantic-analyze-context".

While this can be used as a command, it is mostly useful while debugging
the analyzer, or tools using the return value.  Use the Emacs command
"describe-class" to learn more about using 'semantic-analyze-context'.

Another command that uses the analyzer context can derive a completion
list.

 -- Command: semantic-analyze-possible-completions context
     Return a list of semantic tags which are possible completions.
     CONTEXT is either a position (such as point), or a precalculated
     context.  Passing in a context is useful if the caller also needs
     to access parts of the analysis.  Completions run through the
     following filters:
     Elements currently in scope
     Constants currently in scope
     Elements match the ':prefix' in the CONTEXT.
     Type of the completion matches the type of the context.
          Context type matching can identify the following:
     No specific type
     Assignment into a variable of some type.
     Argument to a function with type constraints.
          When called interactively, displays the list of possible
          completions in a buffer.

5.1 Smart Completion
====================

The file 'semantic-ia.el' contains two commands for performing smart
completion using the analysis library.  Analysis to calculate these
completions are done through the analyzer and completion mechanism.
These functions just provide commands that can be bound to key bindings.

 -- Command: semantic-ia-complete-symbol point
     Complete the current symbol at POINT.  Completion options are
     calculated with "semantic-analyze-possible-completions".

 -- Command: semantic-ia-complete-symbol-menu point
     Complete the current symbol via a menu based at POINT.  Completion
     options are calculated with
     "semantic-analyze-possible-completions".

 -- Command: semantic-ia-complete-tip point
     Pop up a tooltip for completion at POINT.

 -- Command: semantic-ia-show-summary point
     Display a summary for the symbol under POINT.

 -- Command: semantic-ia-show-doc point
     Display the code-level documentation for the symbol at POINT.

\1f
File: semantic-user.info,  Node: Smart Idle Completion,  Next: Speedbar Analysis,  Prev: Smart Completion,  Up: Analyzer

5.2 Smart Idle Completion
=========================

You can get smart completions or summary information to automatically
popup without explicity pressing a key or running a function.

This is accomplished through the Idle Scheduler and related features.
See *note Idle Scheduler:: for more on the Scheduler.

Summaries are provided with 'semantic-idle-summary-mode'.  See *note
Idle Summary Mode::.

Completions are provided with 'semantic-idle-completions-mode'.  See
*note Idle Completions Mode::.

\1f
File: semantic-user.info,  Node: Speedbar Analysis,  Prev: Smart Idle Completion,  Up: Analyzer

5.3 Speedbar Analysis
=====================

The Analyzer output can be used through a speedbar interface.  This
interface lists details about the analysis, such as the current
function, local arguments and variables, details on the prefix (the
symbol the cursor is on), and a list of all possible completions.
Completions are specified in "semantic-analyze-possible-completions"
*note Analyzer::.

Each entry can be jumped to by clicking on the name.  For strongly typed
languages, this means you will jump to the definition of the variable,
slot, or type definition.

In addition each entry has an <i> button.  Clicking on this will display
a summary of everything that is known about the variable or type
displayed on that line.

If you click on the name of a variable in the "Completions" menu, then
the text that was recently analyzed will be replaced with the name of
the token that was clicked on in speedbar.

 -- Command: semantic-speedbar-analysis
     Start Speedbar in semantic analysis mode.  The analyzer displays
     information about the current context, plus a smart list of
     possible completions.

You can also enter speedbar analyzer mode by selecting "Analyze" from
the "Display" menu item on speedbar's menu.

6 Class Browser
***************

The semantic class browser is a library that can covert a project file
group into an object structure that contains links between structures so
that the inheritance links between semantic tags can be easily
navigated.

The core to this library is one function in 'semantic-cb.el'.

 -- Function: semantic-cb-new-class-browser
     Create an object representing this project's organization.  The
     object returned is of type "semantic-cb-project", which contains
     the slot ':types', a list of all top-level types.  Each element is
     a class of type "semantic-cb-token", or "semantic-cb-type".

Use the Emacs function "describe-class" to learn more about these
classes.

You can access the class inheritance structure through a speedbar
interface.  You can choose the "Class Browser" option from Speedbar's
"Display" menu item, or use the following command:

 -- Command: semantic-cb-speedbar-mode
     Bring speedbar up, and put it into Class Browser mode.  This will
     use the Class Browser logic applied to the current Semantic project
     database to build the available relations.  The structure of the
     class hierarchy can then be navigated using traditional speedbar
     interactions.

\1f
File: semantic-user.info,  Node: Document,  Next: Charts,  Prev: Class Browser,  Up: Top

7 Document
**********

The document program uses semantic tag tables to aid in the creation of
texinfo documentation.  For example, the following is a code fragment
from 'document.el' that comes with semantic:

     (defun document (&optional resetfile)
       "Document the function or variable the cursor is in.
     Optional argument RESETFILE is provided w/ universal argument.
     When non-nil, query for a new documentation file."
       ...
       )

While visiting 'document.el', put the cursor somewhere within the
function shown above.  Then type 'M-x document'.  After asking for the
texinfo file name, which in this case is 'semantic.texi', this will
update the texinfo documentation of the 'document' function in that
file.  The result is that the following texinfo text will be either
created or updated in 'user-guide.texi' file:

     @deffn Command document &optional resetfile
     Document the function or variable the cursor is in.
     Optional argument @var{RESETFILE} is provided w/ universal argument.
     When non-@code{nil}, query for a new documentation file.
     @end deffn

Note that the function name, arguments and documentation string is put
in the right place.  Within the doc-string, the function arguments are
marked with the @var command and the 'nil' code fragment is marked with
@code command.  This example provides just a glimpse of what is possible
with the syntactic information provided by semantic.

The main entry point for the documentation generator are the following
commands:

 -- Command: document &optional resetfile
     Document the function or variable the cursor is in.  Optional
     argument RESETFILE is provided w/ universal argument.  When
     non-'nil', query for a new documentation file.

 -- Command: document-inline
     Document the current function with an inline comment.

 -- Command: document-insert-defun-comment tag buffer
     Insert mode-comment documentation about TAG from BUFFER.

 -- Command: document-insert-new-file-header header
     Insert a new header file into this buffer.  Add reference to
     HEADER.  Used by 'prototype' if this file doesn't have an
     introductory comment.

In addition to these base documentation commands, the texinfo semantic
parser includes a two convenience functions when working directly with
texinfo files.

 -- Command: semantic-texi-update-doc &optional tag
     Update the documentation for TAG.  If the current buffer is a
     texinfo file, then find the source doc, and update it.  If the
     current buffer is a source file, then get the documentation for
     this item, find the existing doc in the associated manual, and
     update that.

 -- Command: semantic-texi-goto-source &optional tag
     Jump to the source for the definition in the texinfo file TAG.  If
     TAG is 'nil', it is derived from the deffn under POINT.

\1f

8 Charts
********

Some commands to draw charts of statistics generated from parsing:

 -- Command: semantic-chart-tags-by-class &optional tagtable
     Create a bar chart representing the number of tags for a given tag
     class.  Each bar represents how many toplevel tags in TAGTABLE
     exist with a given class.  See 'semantic-symbol->name-assoc-list'
     for tokens which will be charted.  TAGTABLE is passedto
     "semantic-something-to-tag-table".

 -- Command: semantic-chart-database-size &optional tagtable
     Create a bar chart representing the size of each file in
     semanticdb.  Each bar represents how many toplevel nonterminals in
     TAGTABLE exist in each database entry.  TAGTABLE is passedto
     "semantic-something-to-tag-table".

 -- Command: semantic-chart-tag-complexity &optional class tagtable
     Create a bar chart representing the complexity of some tokens.
     Complexity is calculated for tokens with a tag of CLASS.  Each bar
     represents the complexity of some nonterminal in TAGTABLE.  Only
     the most complex items are charted.  TAGTABLE is passedto
     "semantic-something-to-tag-table".

9 Idle Scheduler
****************

The Idle Scheduler in Semantic 2.0 replaces what was once Auto-Parse
mode.  The Idle Scheduler now performs multiple duties.

The primary job is to schedule buffer parsing in idle time.  The first
buffer whose cache is checked is the current buffer.  After this, all
other buffers are checked.

Once that has been accomplished, sheduled idle processes that use the
semantic tag tables are run.

 -- Command: global-semantic-idle-scheduler-mode &optional arg
     Toggle global use of option "semantic-idle-scheduler-mode".  The
     idle scheduler with automatically reparse buffers in idle time, and
     then schedule other jobs setup with "semantic-idle-scheduler-add".
     If ARG is positive, enable, if it is negative, disable.  If ARG is
     'nil', then toggle.

     *Compatibility*: 'global-semantic-idle-scheduler-mode' introduced
     in semantic version 2.0 supercedes
     'global-semantic-auto-parse-mode' which is now obsolete.


*Compatibility*: 'semantic-idle-scheduler-mode' introduced in semantic
version 2.0 supercedes 'semantic-auto-parse-mode' which is now obsolete.

 -- Option: semantic-idle-scheduler-idle-time
     Time in seconds of idle before scheduling events.  This time should
     be short enough to ensure that idle-scheduler will be run as soon
     as Emacs is idle.

 -- Option: semantic-idle-scheduler-mode-hook
     Hook run at the end of function "semantic-idle-scheduler-mode".

You can add new functionality to the idle scheduler by reading the

9.1 Reparsing Options
=====================

The Idle Scheduler will automatically reparse all buffers that need it.
User input at any time will cancel the operations and return to normal
editing.

9.1.1 Reparse Configuration
---------------------------

 -- Option: semantic-idle-scheduler-max-buffer-size
     Maximum size in bytes of buffers automatically reparsed.  If this
     value is less than or equal to 0, buffers are automatically
     reparsed regardless of their size.

9.1.2 Reparse Messages
----------------------

 -- Option: semantic-idle-scheduler-no-working-message
     If non-'nil', disable display of working messages during parse.

 -- Option: semantic-idle-scheduler-working-in-modeline-flag
     Non-'nil' means show working messages in the mode line.  Typically,
     parsing will show messages in the minibuffer.  This will move the
     parse message into the modeline.

9.1.3 Reprasing Hooks
---------------------

 -- Variable: semantic-before-idle-scheduler-reparse-hooks
     Hooks run before option 'semantic-idle-scheduler' begins parsing.
     If any hook throws an error, this variable is reset to nil.  This
     hook is not protected from lexical errors.

 -- Variable: semantic-after-idle-scheduler-reparse-hooks
     Hooks run after option 'semantic-idle-scheduler' has parsed.  If
     any hook throws an error, this variable is reset to nil.  This hook
     is not protected from lexical errors.

9.2 Idle Summary Mode
=====================

A summary describes a tag in a useful way.  These can be displayed for
the lexical token under the cursor in idle time using this mode.

 -- semantic-idle-summary-mode: &optional arg
     Display a tag summary of the lexical token under the cursor.  This
     means for getting the current tag to display information can be
     overriden with 'idle-summary-current-symbol-info'.  This is a minor
     mode which performs actions during idle time.  With prefix argument
     ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise off.  The minor mode can be
     turned on only if semantic feature is available and the current
     buffer was set up for parsing.  Return non-nil if the minor mode is
     enabled


*Compatibility*: 'semantic-idle-summary-mode' introduced in semantic
version 2.0 supercedes 'semantic-summary-mode' which is now obsolete.

 -- Option: semantic-idle-summary-function
     Function to use when displaying tag information during idle time.
     Some useful functions are found in 'semantic-format-tag-functions'.

9.3 Idle Completions Mode
=========================

The definition of completion lists is described in the Analyzer section
*note Analyzer::.

The Idle Completions mode will calculate the list of possible
completions in idle time, and display them in a popup list, and also
highlight the symbol that needs completion.

 -- semantic-idle-completions-mode: &optional arg
     Display a tooltip with a list of possible completions near the
     cursor.  There is no convenience for performing a completion
     replacement.  For that you should bind
     'semantic-ia-complete-symbol'.  This is a minor mode which performs
     actions during idle time.  With prefix argument ARG, turn on if
     positive, otherwise off.  The minor mode can be turned on only if
     semantic feature is available and the current buffer was set up for
     parsing.  Return non-nil if the minor mode is enabled

This mode operates by using the command
'semantic-complete-inline-analyzer'.

Semantic comes with a wide range of minor-modes which use various
features of semantic.  These modes vary widly in utility.

There are some core modes that are required for smooth operations.  Some
of these are discussed in other chapters, such as *note Idle
Scheduler::, and *note semanticdb::

10.2.1 Sticky Function Headers
------------------------------

 -- Command: semantic-stickyfunc-mode &optional arg
     Minor mode to show the title of a tag in the header line.
     Enables/disables making the header line of functions sticky.  A
     function (or other tag class specified by
     'semantic-stickyfunc-sticky-classes') has a header line, meaning
     the first line which describes the rest of the construct.  This
     first line is what is displayed in the Emacs 21 header line.

     With prefix argument ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise off.  The
     minor mode can be turned on only if semantic feature is available
     and the current buffer was set up for parsing.  Return non-'nil' if
     the minor mode is enabled.

 -- Variable: semantic-stickyfunc-sticky-classes
     List of tag classes which sticky func will display in the header
     line.

\1f
File: semantic-user.info,  Node: Tag Decoration Mode,  Next: MRU Bookmarks Mode,  Prev: Sticky Function Mode,  Up: Code Helpers

10.2.2 Tag Decoration Mode
--------------------------

Decoration mode is a harness that allows any parsed tag to be
highlighted based on some arbitrary feature of that tag.  Decoration
mode is actually a full harness for providing any kind of decoration on
a tag based on a prefix function.

 -- Command: semantic-decoration-mode &optional arg
     Minor mode for decorating tags.  Decorations are specified in
     'semantic-decoration-styles'.  You can define new decoration styles
     with "define-semantic-decoration-style".  With prefix argument ARG,
     turn on if positive, otherwise off.  The minor mode can be turned
     on only if semantic feature is available and the current buffer was
     set up for parsing.  Return non-'nil' if the minor mode is enabled.

To enable or disable specific decorations, you can use this function:

 -- Command: semantic-toggle-decoration-style name &optional arg
     Turn on/off the decoration style with NAME.  Decorations are
     specified in 'semantic-decoration-styles'.  With prefix argument
     ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise off.  Return non-'nil' if the
     decoration style is enabled.

You can create new types of decorations using the following function:

 -- Function: define-semantic-decoration-style name doc &rest flags
     Define a new decoration style with NAME.  DOC is a documentation
     string describing the decoration style NAME.  It is appended to
     auto-generated doc strings.  An Optional list of FLAGS can also be
     specified.  Flags are: ':enabled' <value> - specify the default
     enabled value for NAME.

     This defines two new overload functions respectively called
     'NAME-p' and 'NAME-highlight', for which you must provide a default
     implementation in respectively the functions 'NAME-p-default' and
     'NAME-highlight-default'.  Those functions are passed a tag.
     'NAME-p' must return non-'nil' to indicate that the tag should be
     decorated by 'NAME-highlight'.

     To put primary decorations on a tag 'NAME-highlight' must use
     functions like "semantic-set-tag-face",
     "semantic-set-tag-intangible", etc., found in the semantic-decorate
     library.

     To add other kind of decorations on a tag, 'NAME-highlight' must
     use "semantic-decorate-tag", and other functions of the semantic
     decoration API found in this library.

\1f
File: semantic-user.info,  Node: MRU Bookmarks Mode,  Prev: Tag Decoration Mode,  Up: Code Helpers

10.2.3 MRU Bookmarks Mode
-------------------------

MRU stands for Most Recently Used.  Semantic MRU Bookmarks track the
tags you edit and maintain a ring of things you've been working on.  You
can then switch back to tags you've worked on recently by name.

 -- Command: semantic-mru-bookmark-mode &optional arg
     Minor mode for tracking tag-based bookmarks automatically.  Tag
     based bookmarks a tracked based on editing and viewing habits and
     can then be navigated via the MRU bookmark keymap.

     With prefix argument ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise off.  The
     minor mode can be turned on only if semantic feature is available
     and the current buffer was set up for parsing.  Return non-'nil' if
     the minor mode is enabled.

Once this mode is enbled, any edit, or mark setting will add the current
tag to your MRU bookmark ring.

'C-x B'
     This keysequence is like 'switch-to-buffer', but uses a capital 'B'
     instead of lower case.  This lets you type in a tag name, or use
     'M-p' and 'M-n' to cycle through the bookmark list in MRU order.

10.2.4 Highlight Edits Mode
---------------------------

Highlight edits mode is useful mostly for debugging the incremental
parser.  As you change text, that effected text is highlighted, and you
can visual predict what actions the incremental parser will need to
make.

 -- Command: semantic-highlight-edits-mode &optional arg
     Minor mode for highlighting changes made in a buffer.  Changes are
     tracked by semantic so that the incremental parser can work
     properly.  With prefix argument ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise
     off.  The minor mode can be turned on only if semantic feature is
     available and the current buffer was set up for parsing.  Return
     non-'nil' if the minor mode is enabled.

 -- Face: semantic-highlight-edits-face
     Face used to show dirty tokens in 'semantic-highlight-edits-mode'.

10.2.5 Parser State
-------------------

 -- Command: semantic-show-parser-state-mode &optional arg
     Minor mode for displaying parser cache state in the modeline.  The
     cache can be in one of three states.  They are Up to date, Partial
     reprase needed, and Full reparse needed.  The state is indicated in
     the modeline with the following characters:
     '-'
          The cache is up to date.
     '!'
          The cache requires a full update.
     '~'
          The cache needs to be incrementally parsed.
     '%'
          The buffer is not lexically parseable.
     '@'
          Auto-parse in progress (not set here.)
     With prefix argument ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise off.  The
     minor mode can be turned on only if semantic feature is available
     and the current buffer was set up for parsing.  Return non-'nil' if
     the minor mode is enabled.

10.2.6 Unmatched Syntax Highlighting
------------------------------------

 -- Command: semantic-show-unmatched-syntax-mode &optional arg
     Minor mode to highlight unmatched syntax tokens.  When a parser
     executes, some elements in the buffer may not match any parser
     rules.  These text characters are considered unmatched syntax.
     Often time, the display of unmatched syntax can expose coding
     problems before the compiler is run.

     With prefix argument ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise off.  The
     minor mode can be turned on only if semantic feature is available
     and the current buffer was set up for parsing.  Return non-'nil' if
     the minor mode is enabled.

     'C-c , `'  "semantic-show-unmatched-syntax-next"

 -- Option: semantic-unmatched-syntax-face
     Face used to show unmatched-syntax in.  The face is used in
     "semantic-show-unmatched-syntax-mode".

11 Semantic Database
********************

Semanticdb is a utility which tracks your parsed files, and saves the
parsed information to disk.  When you reload your source files,
semanticdb automatically associates the file with the cached copy,
saving time by not re-parsing your buffer.

Semanticdb also provides an API for programs to use to look up
information about a tag.  These functions can return tag information
without loading the source file into memory.

Lastly, the semanticdb interface allows programmers to create alternate
back ends.  Such a back end could allow access to tag information in
binary files, not normally accessable to semantic.  A back end could
also be written to store tag information in an alternate form of
persistent storage.

To use semanticdb, add the following to your '.emacs' file:

     (require 'semanticdb)
     (global-semanticdb-minor-mode 1)

If you use 'semantic-load.el', or the default CEDET install mechanism,
you do not need to add the above lines in your '.emacs' file.

The Semantic Database has several user level configuration options that
controls it's use.  From the user perspective, it appears to be one
large application.  Internally it is divided into sections.

Core Tables
     These core tables for semanticdb are not associated with files, or
     backends.  They define the basic behavior of a database and table.
Persistent Tables
     These databases are what are generally used in semantic to store
     information to disk.
Custom Backends
     These databases and tables are interfaces to some other source of
     tagging information, such as the symbols loaded in Emacs Lisp, or
     perhaps symbols in a Java '.class' file.

You can execute hooks when semanticdb is activated using its mode hook.

 -- Option: semanticdb-mode-hooks
     Hooks run whenever "global-semanticdb-minor-mode" is run.  Use
     "semanticdb-minor-mode-p" to determine if the mode has been turned
     on or off.

File: semantic-user.info,  Node: Semanticdb Tag Storage,  Next: Semanticdb Search Configuration,  Up: semanticdb

11.1 Semanticdb Tag Storage
===========================

Once you have tables of tags parsed from your files, the default action
is to save them when Emacs exits.  You can control the file name and
directories where the caches are stored.

 -- Option: semanticdb-default-file-name
     File name of the semantic tag cache.

 -- Option: semanticdb-default-save-directory
     Directory name where semantic cache files are stored.  If this
     value is 'nil', files are saved in the current directory.  If the
     value is a valid directory, then it overrides
     'semanticdb-default-file-name' and stores caches in a coded file
     name in this directory.

 -- Option: semanticdb-persistent-path
     List of valid paths that semanticdb will cache tags to.  When
     "global-semanticdb-minor-mode" is active, tag lists will be saved
     to disk when Emacs exits.  Not all directories will have tags that
     should be saved.  The value should be a list of valid paths.  A
     path can be a string, indicating a directory in which to save a
     variable.  An element in the list can also be a symbol.  Valid
     symbols are 'never', which will disable any saving anywhere,
     'always', which enables saving everywhere, or 'project', which
     enables saving in any directory that passes a list of predicates in
     'semanticdb-project-predicate-functions'.

 -- Variable: semanticdb-project-predicate-functions
     List of predicates to try that indicate a directory belongs to a
     project.  This list is used when 'semanticdb-persistent-path'
     contains the value ''project'.  If the predicate list is 'nil',
     then presume all paths are valid.

     Project Management software (such as EDE and JDE) should add their
     own predicates with "add-hook" to this variable, and semanticdb
     will save tag caches in directories controlled by them.

 -- Option: semanticdb-save-database-hooks
     Hooks run after a database is saved.  Each function is called with
     one argument, the object representing the database recently
     written.

11.2 Semanticdb Search Configuration
====================================

When different tools such as smart completion or tag jumping needs to
find a tag, those routines call semanticdb search routines.  Some time
usually needs to be spent making sure semanticdb can find the files your
tags are in.

The search path should include:

  1. The current file
  2. a table for each #include file
  3. if 'recursive is in the throttle, then all include files included
     in include files.

Include files or equivalent are found in:

  1. current directory
  2. directories specified by your project.  (such as EDE, or the
     'semanticdb-project-roots' variable.)
  3. system directories

In C code, semantic tries to distinguish between project and system
headers based on '""' or '<>' delimiters.  Each language can distinguish
using it's own rules.

The system directory is set up via the variable
'semantic-dependency-system-include-path'.  The path is also modified by
some system database create routines, such as
'semanticdb-create-ebrowse-database'.  *Note Include paths::.

You can use the command:

     M-x semantic-add-system-include RET /some/path

to add more paths interactively into the current mode's path.  This will
allow semantic to find more files w/out using system databases.

11.2.1 SemanticDB project roots
-------------------------------

Project roots specify where different code projects start.  Searching
for files usually stops within a single project, so specifying these
roots is important if you want semantic to find tags in other related
directories.

 -- Option: semanticdb-project-roots
     List of directories, where each directory is the root of some
     project.  All subdirectories of a root project are considered a
     part of one project.  Values in this string can be overriden by
     project management programs via the
     'semanticdb-project-root-functions' variable.

 -- Variable: semanticdb-project-root-functions
     List of functions used to determine a given directories project
     root.  Functions in this variable can override
     'semanticdb-project-roots'.  Functions set in the variable are
     given one argument (a directory) and must return a string, (the
     root directory) or a list of strings (multiple root directories in
     a more complex system).  This variable should be used by project
     management programs like EDE or JDE.

     Add a system include DIR to path for MODE.  Modifies a mode-local
     version of 'semantic-dependency-system-include-path'.

 -- Command: semantic-remove-system-include dir &optional mode

11.2.3 SemanticDB Search Throttle
---------------------------------

The semanticdb find throttle is a configuration variable that may often
be configured by a language support author.  If you need to customize
this for yourself, you may need to override the mode values in a mode
support hook.

 -- Variable: semanticdb-find-default-throttle
     The default throttle for 'semanticdb-find' routines.  The throttle
     controls how detailed the list of database tables is for a symbol
     lookup.  The value is a list with the following keys:

     'file'
          The file the search is being performed from.  This option is
          here for completeness only, and is assumed to always be on.
     'local'
          Tables from the same local directory are included.  This
          includes files directly referenced by a file name which might
          be in a different directory.
     'project'
          Tables from the same local project are included If 'project'
          is specified, then 'local' is assumed.
     'unloaded'
          If a table is not in memory, load it.  If it is not cached on
          disk either, get the source, parse it, and create the table.
     'system'
          Tables from system databases.  These are specifically tables
          from system header files, or language equivalent.
     'recursive'
          For include based searches, includes tables referenced by
          included files.
     'omniscience'
          Included system databases which are omniscience, or somehow
          know everything.  Omniscience databases are found in
          'semanticdb-project-system-databases'.  The Emacs Lisp system
          DB is an omniscience database.

To set the throttle, use a command like this:

     (setq-mode-local c-mode
                 semanticdb-find-default-throttle
                 '(project unloaded system recursive))

11.2.4 Semanticdb search debugging commands
-------------------------------------------

You can use 'M-x semanticdb-dump-all-table-summary RET' to see the list
of databases that will be searched from a given buffer.  It should
include DBs for the directories you expect.  You can follow up with 'M-x
semanticdb-find-test-translate-path RET' to then make sure specific
tables from the path are discovered correctly.

 -- Command: semanticdb-dump-all-table-summary
     Dump a list of all databases in Emacs memory.

 -- Command: semanticdb-find-test-translate-path &optional arg
     Call and output results of "semanticdb-find-translate-path" With
     ARG non-'nil', specify a BRUTISH translation.

Lastly, you can test an explicit search term using this command:

 -- Command: semantic-adebug-searchdb regex
     Search the semanticdb for REGEX for the current buffer.  Display
     the results as a debug list.

11.3 Semanticdb System Backends
===============================

 -- Variable: semanticdb-project-system-databases
     List of databases containing system library information.  Mode
     authors can create their own system databases which know detailed
     information about the system libraries for querying purposes.  Put
     those into this variable as a buffer-local, or mode-local value.

These system databases are a part of the 'omniscience' throttle value.

While these are enabled with 'semanticdb-find-default-throttle', a
secondary flag is needed for internal controls that prevent recursive
duplication.

 -- Variable: semanticdb-search-system-databases
     Non 'nil' if search routines are to include a system database.

11.4 Changing Backends
======================

If you want to use some other form of backend, you can use this variable
to choose which back end class to use for your general tag storage.

 -- Variable: semanticdb-new-database-class
     The default type of database created for new files.  This can be
     changed on a per file basis, so that some directories are saved
     using one mechanism, and some directories via a different
     mechanism.

11.5 Script Generated Cache Files
=================================

You can create new semantic databases with the 'semanticdb.sh' script
file.  Give this script the directory you want parsed, and it will
create a cache file for you.

     $ semanticdb.sh *.el

File: semantic-user.info,  Node: Create System Databases,  Prev: Script Generated Cache Files,  Up: semanticdb

11.6 Create System Databases
============================

If your supported langauge stores the system libraries in readilly
available parsable source code, you can pre-generate database files for
them once, which will be used over and over for tools such as
summary-mode, or the analyzer.

Use the following command to create new system databases:

 -- Command: semanticdb-create-system-database path &optional class
     Create a system database starting at PATH.  PATH should be a top
     level directory for a series of files containing declarations for
     SYSTEM files.  In C, this would be header filaes.  CLASS is the
     class for the database to create.  Only child classes of symbol
     "semanticdb-project-database-system" are accepted.

 -- Command: semanticdb-create-ebrowse-database dir
     Create an EBROSE database for directory DIR.  The database file is
     stored in ~/.semanticdb, or whichever directory is specified by
     'semanticdb-default-system-save-directory'.

The CLASS requested here is a bit of archana representing the class name
for the language the entry is for.  Use completion 'SPC' to see the ones
available.  The name of the language should be part of the class name.

12 Debugging Speed Problems
***************************

If aspects of semantic cause your Emacs to slow down or block editing,
there are several things that may be happening.  The most time consuming
aspect of semantic is usually the parsing of files for tag information,
and this action can be triggered from many possible sources.

A simple way to determine where the problem lies is to use the command
'M-x debug-on-quit RET' and then just hit 'C-g' next time it gets
'stuck' somewhere.  It will give you a stack and one of the many
semantic mode functions will likely show up in that stack trace.

From a simple standpoint, your next action might be to use the the
Senator menu under 'Modes' and just toggle suspected modes on and off.

12.1 Interruptibility
=====================

One of the goals with the semantic based minor modes and auto parse is
that it should be interruptible.  Thus, a keyboard action should
interrupt any active parsing or mode activity.  In practice, I've found
this doesn't always work and I've been a bit stymied as to why.

You can test the interruptibility framework by running 'M-x
semantic-test-throw-on-input RET' and seeing that you can press any key
to break out of the loop.

12.2 Incremental parsing
========================

The incremental parser used by semantic will reparse only small sections
of a file you have edited, which eliminates the need to reparse entire
files.  This speeds up minor modes that need the local buffer to be up
to date, such as speedbar or ECB.

If the incremental parsing is not always working for you (meaning it
will parse the whole file frequently while you edit) then perhaps you
need to customize 'semantic-edits-verbose-flag' to enable some friendly
debug output.  Additionally using
'semantic-load-enable-semantic-debugging-helpers' to help identify
possible problem areas by enabling highlight edits mode and show parser
state mode *note (semantic-langdev.info)Incremental Parser Debugging::

12.3 Symbol lookup
==================

There are many minor modes that have special behaviors tied into the
current parser state, with the most complex modes being the summary and
completion modes.  These modes can initiate parsing not only in the
current buffer, but in other buffers that are referred to in the current
source by some form of include statement.

If they turn out not to be useful in the language mode you are operating
in, then it may be best to disable them.

Alternately, you can control how these major modes, and other modes like
them parse alternate files by adjusting
'semanticdb-find-default-throttle'.  You can read more in *note

Appendix A GNU Free Documentation License
*****************************************

                        Version 1.1, March 2000

     Copyright (C) 2000  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

  0. PREAMBLE

     The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
     written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
     the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
     modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.  Secondarily,
     this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
     credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
     modifications made by others.

     This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
     works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
     It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
     license designed for free software.

     We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
     free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
     free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
     that the software does.  But this License is not limited to
     software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
     of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.  We
     recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
     instruction or reference.


  1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

     This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
     notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
     under the terms of this License.  The "Document", below, refers to
     any such manual or work.  Any member of the public is a licensee,
     and is addressed as "you".

     A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
     Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
     modifications and/or translated into another language.

     A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
     of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
     publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
     subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
     fall directly within that overall subject.  (For example, if the
     Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section
     may not explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a
     matter of historical connection with the subject or with related
     matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or
     political position regarding them.

     The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
     titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
     notice that says that the Document is released under this License.

     The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
     listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
     that says that the Document is released under this License.

     A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
     represented in a format whose specification is available to the
     general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly
     and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
     composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
     widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
     text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
     formats suitable for input to text formatters.  A copy made in an
     otherwise Transparent file format whose markup has been designed to
     thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not
     Transparent.  A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

     Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
     ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
     SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming
     simple HTML designed for human modification.  Opaque formats
     include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and
     edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which
     the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and
     the machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for
     output purposes only.

     The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
     plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
     material this License requires to appear in the title page.  For
     works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
     Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
     work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

  2. VERBATIM COPYING

     You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
     commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
     copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
     applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
     add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You
     may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
     or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However,
     you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
     distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the
     conditions in section 3.

     You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
     and you may publicly display copies.

  3. COPYING IN QUANTITY

     If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than
     100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you
     must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly,
     all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
     Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
     and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.  The
     front cover must present the full title with all words of the title
     equally prominent and visible.  You may add other material on the
     covers in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the covers, as
     long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these
     conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

     If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
     legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
     reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
     adjacent pages.

     If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
     numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable
     Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with
     each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location
     containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of
     added material, which the general network-using public has access
     to download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network
     protocols.  If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably
     prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in
     quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus
     accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the
     last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your
     agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

     It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
     the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies,
     to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
     Document.

  4. MODIFICATIONS

     You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
     under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
     release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the
     Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing
     distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever
     possesses a copy of it.  In addition, you must do these things in
     the Modified Version:

     A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
     distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous
     versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History
     section of the Document).  You may use the same title as a previous
     version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
     B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
     entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the
     Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal
     authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has
     less than five).
     C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
     Modified Version, as the publisher.
     D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
     E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
     adjacent to the other copyright notices.
     F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
     notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version
     under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum
     below.
     G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
     Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license
     notice.
     H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
     I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add
     to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
     publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page.  If
     there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
     stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
     given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
     Version as stated in the previous sentence.
     J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
     public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
     the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
     it was based on.  These may be placed in the "History" section.
     You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
     least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
     publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
     K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
     preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
     substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
     and/or dedications given therein.
     L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered
     in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers or the
     equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
     M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section may
     not be included in the Modified Version.
     N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to
     conflict in title with any Invariant Section.

     If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
     appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
     material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate
     some or all of these sections as invariant.  To do this, add their
     titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's
     license notice.  These titles must be distinct from any other
     section titles.

     You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
     nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
     parties-for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
     been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of
     a standard.

     You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
     and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of
     the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one passage
     of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
     through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the Document
     already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added
     by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on
     behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old
     one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added
     the old one.

     The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
     License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
     assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

  5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

     You may combine the Document with other documents released under
     this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
     modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all
     of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
     unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
     combined work in its license notice.

     The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
     multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
     copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
     but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
     by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
     original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
     unique number.  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
     the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
     combined work.

     In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled
     "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
     entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled
     "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled "Dedications".  You
     must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements."

  6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

     You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
     documents released under this License, and replace the individual
     copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
     that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
     rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents
     in all other respects.

     You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
     distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
     a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
     License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
     document.

  7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

     A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
     separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a
     storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a
     Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation copyright
     is claimed for the compilation.  Such a compilation is called an
     "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the other
     self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account of
     their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative
     works of the Document.

     If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
     copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one
     quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be
     placed on covers that surround only the Document within the
     aggregate.  Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole
     aggregate.

  8. TRANSLATION

     Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
     distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
     4.  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
     permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
     translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
     original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
     translation of this License provided that you also include the
     original English version of this License.  In case of a
     disagreement between the translation and the original English
     version of this License, the original English version will prevail.

  9. TERMINATION

     You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
     except as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other
     attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
     void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
     License.  However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
     from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated
     so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

  10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

     The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
     the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
     versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
     differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
     http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.

     Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
     number.  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
     version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
     have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
     that specified version or of any later version that has been
     published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.  If the
     Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may
     choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free
     Software Foundation.

ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
====================================================

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
notices just after the title page:


       Copyright (C)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
       Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
       under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1
       or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
       with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
       Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
       A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
       Free Documentation License''.
If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
instead of saying which ones are invariant.  If you have no Front-Cover
Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts being
LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.

If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
their use in free software.
