Now that doom-guess-mode-h exists (which will set the major mode when
you save a file in fundamental-mode), this association isn't needed
anymore (because doom-guess-mode-h will deduce the mode from the
shebang line).
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.
This is first of three big naming convention updates that have been a
long time coming. With 2.1 on the horizon, all the breaking updates will
batched together in preparation for the long haul.
In this commit, we do away with the asterix to communicate that a
function is an advice function, and we replace it with the '-a' suffix.
e.g.
doom*shut-up -> doom-shut-up-a
doom*recenter -> doom-recenter-a
+evil*static-reindent -> +evil--static-reindent-a
The rationale behind this change is:
1. Elisp's own formatting/indenting tools would occasionally struggle
with | and * (particularly pp and cl-prettyprint). They have no
problem with / and :, fortunately.
2. External syntax highlighters (like pygmentize, discord markdown or
github markdown) struggle with it, sometimes refusing to highlight
code beyond these symbols.
3. * and | are less expressive than - and -- in communicating the
intended visibility, versatility and stability of a function.
4. It complicated the regexps we must use to search for them.
5. They were arbitrary and over-complicated to begin with, decided
on haphazardly way back when Doom was simply "my private config".
Anyhow, like how predicate functions have the -p suffix, we'll adopt the
-a suffix for advice functions, -h for hook functions and -fn for
variable functions.
Other noteable changes:
- Replaces advice-{add,remove}! macro with new def-advice!
macro. The old pair weren't as useful. The new def-advice! saves on a
lot of space.
- Removed "stage" assertions to make sure you were using the right
macros in the right place. Turned out to not be necessary, we'll
employ better checks later.
- SPC o r now prompts for a REPL to open when none was found for the
current buffer.
- REPL handlers must now follow the naming convention "*/open*-repl".
e.g. +python/open-ipython-repl, +emacs-lisp/open-repl, etc.
- +eval/open-repl has been split in two:
- +eval/open-repl-other-window
- +eval/open-repl-same-window
And replace it with buffer-local mode-name setters. This is more
explicit and less magical, which is easier for users to discover and
change, if they'd like.
Centralized code formatting with built-in support for a variety of
languages. Provides the set-formatter! function for defining your own.
Still experimental and needs more testing!
After some profiling, it turns out map-put and map-delete are 5-7x
slower (more on Emacs 25) than delq, setf/alist-get and add-to-list for
small lists (under 250 items), which is exactly how I've been using
them.
The only caveat is alist-get's signature is different on Emacs 25, thus
a polyfill is necessary in core-lib.
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
+ :popup -> set-popup-rule!
+ :popups -> set-popup-rules!
+ :company-backend -> set-company-backend!
+ :evil-state -> set-evil-initial-state!
I am slowly phasing out the setting system (def-setting! and set!),
starting with these.
What are autodefs? These are functions that are always defined, whether
or not their respective modules are enabled. However, when their modules
are disabled, they are replaced with macros that no-op and don't
waste time evaluating their arguments.
The old set! function will still work, for a while.
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.
