;;; Commentary:

;; Purpose:
;;
;; To make visiting a file in `font-lock-mode' faster by restoring its face
;; text properties from automatically saved associated font lock cache files.
;;
;; See also the face-lock package.
;; See also the lazy-lock package.  (But don't use the two at the same time!)

;; Note that:
;;
;; - A cache will be saved when visiting a compressed file using crypt++, but
;;   not be read.  This is a "feature"/"consequence"/"bug" of crypt++.

;; Installation:
;; 
;; Put this file somewhere where Emacs can find it (i.e., in one of the paths
;; in your `load-path'), `byte-compile-file' it, and put in your ~/.emacs:
;;
;; (autoload 'turn-on-fast-lock "fast-lock"
;;   "Unconditionally turn on Fast Lock mode.")
;;
;; (add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'turn-on-fast-lock)
;;
;; Start up a new Emacs and use font-lock as usual (except that you can use the
;; so-called "gaudier" fontification regexps on big files without frustration).
;;
;; When you visit a file (which has `font-lock-mode' enabled) that has a
;; corresponding font lock cache file associated with it, the font lock cache
;; will be loaded from that file instead of being generated by font-lock code.
;;
;; Font lock caches will be saved:
;;  - For all buffers with Fast Lock mode enabled when you exit from Emacs.
;;  - For a buffer with Fast Lock mode enabled when you kill the buffer.
;; To provide control over how such cache files are written automagically, see
;; variable `fast-lock-cache-directories'.  To provide control over which such
;; cache files are written, see variables `fast-lock-save-others' and
;; `fast-lock-save-size'.  Only cache files which were generated using the same
;; `font-lock-keywords' as you are using will be used.
;;
;; As an illustration of the time saving, a 115k file of Emacs C code took 95
;; seconds to fontify using Emacs 19.25 on a Sun SparcStation 2 LX (using
;; `c-font-lock-keywords-2').  The font lock cache file takes around 2 seconds
;; to load (with around 4 seconds to generate and save).  Bite it.  Believe it.
;; (For Lucid Emacs 19.10, the figures on a similar machine, file, and regexps,
;; are 70, around 4, and around 4, seconds, respectively; for Emacs 19.28 the
;; fontification takes around 26 seconds.)

;; Feedback:
;;
;; Please send me bug reports, bug fixes, and extensions, so that I can
;; merge them into the master source.

  "Directories in which font lock cache files are saved and read.
Each item should be either DIR or a cons pair of the form (REGEXP . DIR) where
DIR is a directory name (relative or absolute) and REGEXP is a regexp.

An attempt will be made to save or read font lock cache files using these items
until one succeeds (i.e., until a readable or writable one is found).  If an
item contains REGEXP, DIR is used only if the buffer file name matches REGEXP.
For example:

 (list (cons (concat \"^\" (regexp-quote (expand-file-name \"~\"))) \".\")
