Rewrote a significant part of the Flymake backend API. Flymake now
ignores the return value of backend functions: a function can either
returns or errors. If it doesn't error, a backend is no longer
constrained to call REPORT-FN exactly once. It may do so any number
of times, cumulatively reporting diagnostics. Flymake keeps track of
outdated REPORT-FN instances and disconsiders obsolete reports.
Backends should avoid reporting obsolete data by cancelling any
ongoing processing at every renewed call to the backend function.
Consolidated flymake.el internal data structures to require less
buffer-local variables. Adjusted Flymake's mode-line indicator to the
new semantics.
Adapted and simplified the implementation of elisp and legacy
backends, fixing potential race conditions when calling backends in
rapid succession.
Added a new test for a backend that calls REPORT-FN multiple
times. Simplify test infrastructure.

Maybe squash in that one where I remove many obsoletes
Too early to decide what will be in it, if anything. Though "M-n" and
"M-p" would be great.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-ui.el (flymake-mode-map): New variable
Also fix behaviour whereby flymake wouldn't react to a change in the
variable.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-ui.el (flymake-error-bitmap)
(flymake-warning-bitmap): Update bitmaps.
(flymake-note-bitmap): New defcustom.
(flymake-double-exclamation-mark): New bitmap.
(flymake-error, flymake-warning, flymake-note)
(flymake--highlight-line): 'bitmap property must be a symbol.
Also set default face to flymake-error.
(flymake--fringe-overlay-spec): Bitmap property can be a
variable symbol.
The first of these problems is longstanding: if an error-less B.h is
included from error-ridden A.h, flymake's legacy parser will panic
(and disable itself) since it sees a non-zero exit for a clean file.
To fix this, recommend returning 'true' in the documentation for the
check-syntax target.
Another problem was introduced by the parser rewrite. For error
patterns spanning more than one line, point may be left in the middle
of a line and thus render other patterns useless. Those patterns were
written for the old line-by-line parser. To make them useful again,
move to the beginning of line in those situations.
The third problem was also longstanding and happened on newer GCC's:
The "In file included from" prefix confused
flymake-proc-get-real-file-name. Fix this.
Also updated flymake--diag-region to fallback to highlighting a full
line less often.
Add automatic tests to check this.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Fix bug when patterns
accidentally spans more than one line. Don't create
diagnostics without error messages.
(flymake-proc-real-file-name-considering-includes): New
helper.
(flymake-proc-allowed-file-name-masks): Use it.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-diag-region): Make COL

* doc/misc/flymake.texi (Example---Configuring a tool called
via make): Recommend adding "|| true" to the check-syntax target.
Loading flymake-elisp.el doesn't setup flymake-mode to turn on
automatically, but it affects emacs-lisp-mode-hook so that
flymake-diagnostic-functions is setup with a suitable buffer-local
value. The variable flymake-diagnostic-funtions in every live
emacs-lisp-mode buffer is also adjusted.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (top): Require flymake-elisp.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-elisp.el: New file.
Imitates compilation-mode's mode-line a bit, and uses its faces.

(flymake-mode): Don't update lighter.
(flymake--highlight-line): Be more careful when overriding a
nil default overlay property.
Add filters, useful for backends like the upcoming
flymake-elisp-checkdoc backend, for example, which litters everything
with low-priority notes.
Also re-implement wraparound for flymake-goto-next-error. Manual
mentions this, so it's probably a good idea to keep it. Added a new
customization variable flymake-wrap-around to control it.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-goto-prev-error)
(flymake-goto-next-error): Accept FILTER argument.
(flymake-wrap-around): New variable.
(flymake-goto-next-error): Wrap around according to flymake-wrap-around.

flymake-goto-prev-error.
(different-diagnostic-types)
(dummy-backends): Use flymake-wrap-around.
Use display-warning and a dedicated *Flymake log* buffer.
To ease readability, flymake log messages are now prefixed with a
common prefix and the buffer that originated them.
Some situations of over-zealous logging are fixed.
Use byte-compiler info, if available, to determine whence the
flymake-related log message is coming.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Improve log message.

Lay groundwork for multiple active backends in the same buffer.
Backends are lisp functions called when flymake-mode sees fit. They
are responsible for examining the current buffer and telling
flymake.el, via return value, if they can syntax check it.
Backends should return quickly and inexpensively, but they are also
passed a REPORT-FN argument which they may or may not call
asynchronously after performing more expensive work.
REPORT-FN's calling convention stipulates that a backend calls it with
a list of diagnostics as argument, or, alternatively, with a symbol
denoting an exceptional situation, usually some panic resulting from a
misconfigured backend. In keeping with legacy behaviour,
flymake.el's response to a panic is to disable the issuing backend.
The flymake--diag object representing a diagnostic now also keeps
information about its source backend. Among other uses, this allows
flymake to selectively cleanup overlays based on which backend is
updating its diagnostics.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el (flymake-proc--report-fn):
New dynamic variable.
(flymake-proc--process): New variable.
(flymake-can-syntax-check-buffer): Remove.

(flymake-proc--start-syntax-check-process): Record report-fn
in process. Use flymake-proc--panic.

Use flymake-proc--panic.

(flymake-tests--call-with-fixture): Use flymake-is-running the
function. Check if flymake-mode already active before activating it.
Add a thorough test for flymake multiple backends
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake--start-syntax-check):
Don't use condition-case-unless-debug, use condition-case
* test/lisp/progmodes/flymake-tests.el
(flymake-tests--assert-set): New helper macro.
(dummy-backends): New test.
Diagnostics are reported for buffers, not necessarily files. It’s the
backend’s responsibility to compute the buffer where the diagnostic is
applicable. For now, this has to match the buffer where flymake-mode
is active and which is at the origin of the backend call.
flymake.el knows nothing about line/column diagnostics (except for
backward-compatible flymake-ler-make-ler, which must yet be tested).
It’s also the backend’s reponsibility to compute a BEG and END
positions for the diagnostic in the relevant buffer.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Convert LINE/COL to
region here. Check file buffer here.
(flymake-proc--process-sentinel): Don’t kill output buffer if
high enough log level.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-diag-region): Make this a utility
function. (flymake--highlight-line): Diagnostic has region now.
(flymake-popup-current-error-menu): Don’t add file and line numbers to
already this silly menu. (flymake--fix-line-numbers): Remove.
(flymake-report): No need to fix diagnostics here.
If flymake-start-syntax-check-on-newline is t, check should start as
soon as a newline is seen by after-change-functions. But don't rush
it: since the buffer state might not be final, we might end up with
invalid diagnostic regions after some commands silently insert and
delete newlines (looking at you, fill-paragraph).
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-after-change-function): Pass
`deferred' to flymake--start-syntax-check.
(flymake--start-syntax-check): Take optional `deferred' arg.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Rewrite (using cl-loop) to
honour more sophisticated flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred.
(flymake-warning-re): Is now an obsolete alias for
flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred.
(flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred): Rename and augment from
flymake-proc-warning-predicate. (flymake-proc-warning-predicate):
Delete.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-note): New face.
(flymake-diagnostic-types-alist): Simplify.
(flymake-note): New overlay category.
(flymake--lookup-type-property): Only lookup single keys, not lists.
(flymake--diag-errorp): Rewrite.
(flymake--highlight-line): Use flymake--lookup-type-property.
* test/lisp/progmodes/flymake-tests.el
(different-diagnostic-types): Rename from errors-and-warnings.
Check notes.
(flymake-tests--call-with-fixture): Use
flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred.
The error patterns for gcc picked up errors for the Makefile itself,
for example. These shouldn't count as actual errors.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-report): Check
matching file names.
Perhaps binding M-n and M-p to flymake-goto-next-error and
flymake-goto-prev-error also wouldn't be a bad idea.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-goto-next-error): Use
target overlay's help-echo.
A new user-visible variable is introduced where different diagnostic
types can be categorized. Flymake backends can also contribute to
this variable. Anything that doesn’t match an existing error type
is considered.
The variable’s alists are used to propertize the overlays pertaining
to each error type. The user can override the built-in properties by
either by modifying the alist, or by modifying the properties of a
special "category" symbol, named by the `flymake-category' entry in
the alist.
The `flymake-category' entry is especially useful for, say, the author
of foo-flymake-backend, who issues diagnostics of type :foo-note, that
should behave like notes, except with no fringe bitmap:
(add-to-list 'flymake-diagnostic-types-alist
'(:foo-note
. ((flymake-category . flymake-note)
(bitmap . nil))))
For essential properties like `severity', `priority', etc, a default
value is produced. Some properties like `evaporate' cannot be
overriden.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake--diag): Rename from
flymake-ler.
(flymake-ler-make): Obsolete alias for flymake-diagnostic-make
(flymake-ler-errorp): Rewrite using flymake--severity.
(flymake--place-overlay): Delete.
(flymake--overlays): Now a cl-defun with &key args. Document.
Use `overlays-at' if BEG is non-nil and END is nil.
(flymake--lookup-type-property): New helper.
(flymake--highlight-line): Rewrite.
(flymake-diagnostic-types-alist): New API variable.
(flymake--diag-region)
(flymake--severity, flymake--face)
(flymake--fringe-overlay-spec): New helper.
(flymake-popup-current-error-menu): Use new flymake-overlays.
(flymake-popup-current-error-menu, flymake-report): Use
flymake--diag-errorp.
(flymake--fix-line-numbers): Use flymake--diag-line.
(flymake-goto-next-error): Pass :key to flymake-overlays
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Use flymake-diagnostic-make.
Make Flymake UI some 150 lines lighter
Strip away much of the original implementation's complexity in
manipulating objects representing diagnostics as well as creating and
navigating overlays.
Lay some groundwork for a more flexible approach that allows for
different classes of diagnostics, not necessarily line-based.
Importantly, one overlay per diagnostic is created, whereas the
original implementation had one per line, and on it it concatenated
the results of errors and warnings.
This means that currently, an error and warning on the same line are
problematic and the warning might be overlooked but this will soon be
fixed by setting appropriate priorities.
Since diagnostics can highlight arbitrary regions, not just lines, the
faces were renamed.
Tests pass and backward compatibility with interactive functions is
maintained, but probably any third-party extension or customization
relying on more than a trivial set of flymake.el internals has stopped
working.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Use new flymake-ler-make
constructor syntax.

(warning-predicate-function-gcc, warning-predicate-rx-perl)
(warning-predicate-function-perl): Use face `flymake-warning'.
Instead of parsing and matching regexps line-by-line, insert
subprocess output in a separate buffer and parse using
`search-forward-regexp'. This eventually enables multi-line error
patterns and simplifies code all around. Store per-check information
in the subprocess using `process-get' and `process-put'. Treat error
messages, warnings, etc. more generically as "diagnostics". Create
these objects as soon as possible, reusing existing `flymake-ler'
structure. Fix some whitespace.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (cl-lib): Require also when
loading.
(flymake--fix-line-numbers): Rename from
flymake-fix-line-numbers. Simplify.

plain diagnostics list into alist format expected by
flymake-highlight-err-lines.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el (flymake-process-filter): Insert
process output and parse in dedicated output buffer.
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): New helper function.
(flymake-process-sentinel): Call flymake-post-syntax-check with
collected diagnostics. Kill output buffer.
(flymake-post-syntax-check): Receive diagnostics as third argument.

After deciding that this work would continue on master only, which
caused two commits named
Revert "Split flymake.el into flymake-proc.el and flymake-ui.el"
and
Revert "Add flymake-backends defcustom"
to be added to the emacs-26 branch, further discussion reversed that
decision.
See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-09/msg01020.htmlhttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-09/msg01030.html
This means that those two commits MUST be merged to master AFTER ALL.
flymke-proc.el contains the main syntax-checking backend, while
flymake.el keeps mostly the UI part.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el: New file. Require flymake.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el: Require flymake-proc.el at the end.
In other words, re-coalesce the two files,
lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el and lisp/progmodes/flymake-ui.el, back
into a single one, lisp/progmodes/flymake.el.
The changesets "Prefer HTTPS to FTP and HTTP in documentation" and
"allow nil init in flymake-allowed-file-name-masks to disable flymake"
are kept in place in the new lisp/progmodes/flymake.el.
This reverts Git commit eb34f7f5a2.
Don't merge this back to master as development happening there builds
upon this work. See also
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-09/msg00932.html.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
flymake.el is now a stub that requires both files.

Problem reported by Artur Malabarba in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-11/msg01513.html
Most of these fixes are to documentation; many involve fixing
longstanding quoting glitches that are independent of the
recent substitute-command-keys changes. The changes to code are:
* lisp/cedet/mode-local.el (mode-local-augment-function-help)
(describe-mode-local-overload):
Substitute docstrings before displaying them.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el (cl--transform-lambda):
Quote the generated docstring for later substitution.
This patch should not change behavior. It typically omits backslashes
where they are redundant (e.g., in the string literal "^\$").
In a few places, insert backslashes where they make regular
expressions clearer: e.g., replace "^\*" (equivalent to "^*") with
"^\\*", which has the same effect as a regular expression.
Also, use ‘\ %’ instead of ‘\%’ when avoiding confusion with SCCS IDs,
and similarly use ‘\ $’ instead of ‘\$’ when avoiding confusion with
RCS IDs, as that makes it clearer that the backslash is intended.
