;;; uniquify.el --- unique buffer names dependent on file name

;;; Commentary:

;; Emacs's standard method for making buffer names unique adds <2>, <3>,
;; etc. to the end of (all but one of) the buffers.  This file replaces
;; that behavior, for buffers visiting files and dired buffers, with a
;; uniquification that adds parts of the file name until the buffer names
;; are unique.  For instance, buffers visiting /u/mernst/tmp/Makefile and
;; /usr/projects/zaphod/Makefile would be named Makefile|tmp and
;; Makefile|zaphod, respectively (instead of Makefile and Makefile<2>).
;; Other buffer name styles are also available.

;; To use this file, just load it; or add (require 'uniquify) to your .emacs.
;; To disable it after loading, set variable uniquify-buffer-name-style to nil.
;; For other options, see "User-visible variables", below.

;; A version of uniquify.el that works under Emacs 18, Emacs 19, XEmacs,
;; and InfoDock is available from the maintainer.

;; Doesn't correctly handle buffer names created by M-x write-file in Emacs 18.
;; Doesn't work under NT when backslash is used as a path separator (forward
;;   slash path separator works fine).  To fix, check system-type against
;;   'windows-nt, write a routine that breaks paths down into components.
;;   (Surprisingly, there isn't one built in.)

;;; Change Log:

;; Originally by Dick King <king@reasoning.com> 15 May 86
;; Converted for Emacs 18 by Stephen Gildea <gildea@lcs.mit.edu>
;; Make uniquify-min-dir-content 0 truly non-invasive.  gildea 23 May 89
;; Some cleanup.  uniquify-min-dir-content default 0.  gildea 01 Jun 89
;; Don't rename to "".  Michael Ernst <mernst@theory.lcs.mit.edu> 15 Jun 94
;; Add kill-buffer-hook.  Kenneth Manheimer <ken.manheimer@nist.gov> 09 May 95
;; Add advice for rename-buffer and create-file-buffer, handle dired buffers,
;;  kill-buffer-rationalize-buffer-names-p, documentation.  mernst 24 May 95
;; Remove free variables, fix typos.  mernst 5 Jun 95
;; Efficiently support Emacs 19.27 & earlier.  ken.manheimer, mernst 10 Jun 95
;; Rename user options to "uniquify-...", add uniquify-reverse-dir-content-p,
;;  add uniquify-ask-about-buffer-names-p.  king, mernst 13 Jun 95
;; Prefix functions by "uniquify-..."; rename mnemonic-buffer-names to
;;  uniquify-buffer-name-style; add 'forward and 'post-forward-angle-brackets

;; The logical place to put all this code is in generate-new-buffer-name.
;; It's written in C, so we would add a generate-new-buffer-name-function
;; which, if non-nil, would be called instead of the C.  One problem with
;; that is that generate-new-buffer-name takes a potential buffer name as
;; its argument -- not other information, such as what file the buffer will
;; visit.

;; The below solution works because generate-new-buffer-name is called
;; only by rename-buffer (which, as of 19.29, is never called from C) and
;; generate-new-buffer, which is called only by Lisp functions
;; create-file-buffer and rename-uniquely.  Rename-uniquely generally
;; isn't used for buffers visiting files, so it's sufficient to hook
;; rename-buffer and create-file-buffer.  (Setting find-file-hooks isn't

;; Buffer deletion
;; Rerationalize after a buffer is killed, to reduce coinciding buffer names.
;; This mechanism uses `kill-buffer-hook', which runs *before* deletion.
;; That means that the kill-buffer-hook function cannot just delete the
;; buffer -- it has to set something to do the rationalization *later*.
;; It actually puts another function on `post-command-hook'.  This other
;; function runs the rationalization and then removes itself from the hook.
;; Is there a better way to accomplish this?
;; (This ought to set some global variables so the work is done only for
;; buffers with names similar to the deleted buffer.  -MDE)
