between font-lock-keywords, the elisp manual, examples in the emacs
source (sh-mode is one) and the webernets, it is rather difficult to
find a way to properly deal with multi-line construct syntax
highlighting. this is a way leveraging anchored matching and
jit-lock.
more importantly, bind systemd-font-lock-keywords to a _symbol_.
this makes hacking font-lock-keywords on the fly a little easier, in
addition to adding to customization/granularity
(info "(elisp) Font Lock Basics")
The new regex is not too hard to generate with some set/combinatorics
fun, but perhaps going about this a different way would be better
(let ((s (delq nil (powerset '("@" "-" "+")))))
(concat "="
(regexp-opt
(mapcar (lambda (ls) (apply #'concat ls))
(apply #'append (mapcar #'permutations s)))
"\\(?1:")))
many thanks to @Lompik
* don't match empty unit names. AIUI unit names are alphanumeric with
the exception of the group [-_.@], non ascii are backslash-escaped.
* more strictly match temp file names: .# prefix, [[:hexdigit:]]{16}
suffix. the filenames are a unit name with a unit suffix (systemctl
edit --full) or just override.conf (edit without --full option)
* add regex for dropin config files. This is just a file with ".conf"
extension, with the added constraint that it's a file having some
parent directory named "systemd"
hopefully didn't break everything \o/
* eventual goal is to have the large lists generated at byte compile
time from the text files now present in the repo. updating the lists
in lisp is very annoying
* capf completion now exists and draws from the same infrastructure
* added capability to add a "=" after company completion of a directive
* systemd-use-company-p still works, but does not need to exist
* adds 16 random hex digits to the end of file name
* instead of a bunch of autoloads, draw regexp into a pair of defconst
* not sure how to splice a reusable list of extensions into an rx call,
which would be nicer than duplicating it
