This update may potentially break your usage of add-hook! if you pass
the :local or :append properties to it. This is how they used to work:
(add-hook! :append 'some-mode-hook #'do-something)
Thsoe properties must now follow the hooks, e.g.
(add-hook! 'some-mode-hook :append #'do-something)
Other changes:
- Various add-hook calls have been renamed to add-hook! because I
incorrectly assumed `defun` always returned its definition's symbol,
when in fact, its return value is "undefined" (so sayeth the
documentation). This should fix#1597.
- This update adds the ability to add multiple functions to hooks
without a list:
(add-hook! 'some-mode-hook
#'do-something
#'do-something-else)
- The indentation logic has been changed so that consecutive function
symbols at indented at the same level as the first argument, but forms
are indent like a defun.
(add-hook! 'some-mode-hook
#'do-something
#'do-something-else)
(add-hook! 'some-mode-hook
(message "Hello"))
Calling this pivotal macro "def-package!" has frequently been a source
of confusion. It is a thin wrapper around use-package, and it should be
obvious that it is so. For this reason, and to match the naming
convention used with other convenience macros/wrappers, it is now
use-package!.
Also changes def-package-hook! -> use-package-hook!
The old macros are now marked obsolete and will be removed when straight
integration is merged.
Initialize it globally and turn it off where needed, instead of enabling
it on demand. Also fixes void-function: flycheck-mode errors when
:feature syntax-checker is disabled. This is experimental.
Indirectly fixes#710
Now that we are loading package autoloads files (as part of the
generated doom-package-autoload-file when running make autoloads), many
:commands properties are redundant. In fact, many def-package! blocks
are redundant.
In some cases, we can do without a config.el file entirely, and can move
into the autoloads file or rely entirely on package autoloads.
Also, many settings have been moved in their module's autoloads files,
which makes them available ASAP; their use no longer depends on module
load order.
This gained me a modest ~10% boost in startup speed.
+ enable lexical-scope everywhere (lexical-binding = t): ~5-10% faster
startup; ~5-20% general boost
+ reduce consing, function calls & garbage collection by preferring
cl-loop & dolist over lambda closures (for mapc[ar], add-hook, and
various cl-lib filter/map/reduce functions) -- where possible
+ prefer functions with dedicated opcodes, like assq (see byte-defop's
in bytecomp.el for more)
+ prefer pcase & cond (faster) over cl-case
+ general refactor for code readability
+ ensure naming & style conventions are adhered to
+ appease byte-compiler by marking unused variables with underscore
+ defer minor mode activation to after-init, emacs-startup or
window-setup hooks; a customization opportunity for users + ensures
custom functionality won't interfere with startup.
