;;; Commentary:
;; The functions in this file detect (`find-emacs-lisp-shadows')
;; and display (`list-load-path-shadows') potential load-path
;; problems that arise when Emacs Lisp files "shadow" each other.
;;
;; For example, a file XXX.el early in one's load-path will shadow
;; a file with the same name in a later load-path directory. When
;; this is unintentional, it may result in problems that could have
;; been easily avoided. This occurs often (to me) when installing a
;; new version of emacs and something in the site-lisp directory
;; has been updated and added to the emacs distribution. The old
;; version, now outdated, shadows the new one. This is obviously
;; undesirable.
;;
;; The `list-load-path-shadows' function was run when you installed
;; this version of emacs. To run it by hand in emacs:
;;
;; M-x load-library RET shadow RET
;; M-x list-load-path-shadows
;;
;; or run it non-interactively via:
;;
;; emacs -batch -l shadow.el -f list-load-path-shadows
;;
;; Thanks to Francesco Potorti` <pot@cnuce.cnr.it> for suggestions,
;; rewritings & speedups.

(defun list-load-path-shadows ()
"Display a list of Emacs Lisp files that shadow other files.
This function lists potential load path problems. Directories in
the `load-path' variable are searched, in order, for Emacs Lisp
files. When a previously encountered file name is found again, a
message is displayed indicating that the later file is \"hidden\" by
the earlier.
For example, suppose `load-path' is set to
\(\"/usr/gnu/emacs/site-lisp\" \"/usr/gnu/emacs/share/emacs/19.30/lisp\"\)
and that each of these directories contains a file called XXX.el. Then
XXX.el in the site-lisp directory is referred to by all of:
\(require 'XXX\), \(autoload .... \"XXX\"\), \(load-library \"XXX\"\) etc.
The first XXX.el file prevents Emacs from seeing the second \(unless
the second is loaded explicitly via `load-file'\).
When not intended, such shadowings can be the source of subtle
problems. For example, the above situation may have arisen because the
XXX package was not distributed with versions of Emacs prior to
19.30. An Emacs maintainer downloaded XXX from elsewhere and installed
it. Later, XXX was updated and included in the Emacs distribution.
Unless the Emacs maintainer checks for this, the new version of XXX
will be hidden behind the old \(which may no longer work with the new
Emacs version\).
This function performs these checks and flags all possible
shadowings. Because a .el file may exist without a corresponding .elc
\(or vice-versa\), these suffixes are essentially ignored. A file
XXX.elc in an early directory \(that does not contain XXX.el\) is
considered to shadow a later file XXX.el, and vice-versa.
When run interactively, the shadowings \(if any\) are displayed in a
buffer called `*Shadows*'. Shadowings are located by calling the
\(non-interactive\) companion function, `find-emacs-lisp-shadows'."
