;;; Commentary:
;; Completion of structure tags can be done automatically in the
;; shell, since the list of tags can be determined dynamically through
;; interaction with IDL.
;; Completion of structure tags in a source buffer is highly ambiguous
;; since you never know what kind of structure a variable will hold at
;; runtime. To make this feature useful in source buffers, we need a
;; special assumption/convention. We will assume that the structure is
;; defined in the same buffer and directly assigned to the correct
;; variable. This is mainly useful for applications in which there is one
;; main structure which contains a large amount of information (and many
;; tags). For example, many widget applications define a "state" structure
;; that contains all important data about the application. The different
;; routines called by the event handler then use this structure. If you
;; use the same variable name for this structure throughout your
;; application (a good idea for many reasons), IDLWAVE can support
;; completion for its tags.
;;
;; This file is a completion plugin which implements this kind of
;; completion. It is also an example which shows how completion plugins
;; should be programmed.
;;
;; New versions of IDLWAVE, documentation, and more information available
;; from:
;; http://github.com/jdtsmith/idlwave
;;
;; INSTALLATION
;; ============
;; Put this file on the emacs load path and load it with the following
;; line in your init file:
;;
;; (add-hook 'idlwave-load-hook
;; (lambda () (require 'idlw-complete-structtag)))
;;
;; DESCRIPTION
;; ===========
;; Suppose your IDL program contains something like
;;
;; myvar = state.a*
;;
;; where the star marks the cursor position. If you now press the
;; completion key M-TAB, IDLWAVE searches the current file for a
;; structure definition
;;
;; state = {tag1:val1, tag2:val2, ...}
;;
;; and offers the tags for completion.
;;
;; In the idlwave shell, idlwave sends a "print,tag_names()" for the
;; variable to idl and determines the current tag list dynamically.
;;
;; Notes
;; -----
;; - The structure definition assignment "state = {...}" must use the
;; same variable name as the completion location "state.*".
;; - The structure definition must be in the same file.
;; - The structure definition is searched backwards and then forward
;; from the current position, until a definition with tags is found.
;; - The file is parsed again for each new completion variable and location.
;; - You can force an update of the tag list with the usual command
;; to update routine info in IDLWAVE: C-c C-i
