elisp: SMIE Indentation Helpers
22.7.1.7 Helper Functions for Indentation Rules
...............................................
SMIE provides various functions designed specifically for use in the
indentation rules function (several of those functions break if used in
another context). These functions all start with the prefix
‘smie-rule-’.
-- Function: smie-rule-bolp
Return non-‘nil’ if the current token is the first on the line.
-- Function: smie-rule-hanging-p
Return non-‘nil’ if the current token is _hanging_. A token is
_hanging_ if it is the last token on the line and if it is preceded
by other tokens: a lone token on a line is not hanging.
-- Function: smie-rule-next-p &rest tokens
Return non-‘nil’ if the next token is among TOKENS.
-- Function: smie-rule-prev-p &rest tokens
Return non-‘nil’ if the previous token is among TOKENS.
-- Function: smie-rule-parent-p &rest parents
Return non-‘nil’ if the current token’s parent is among PARENTS.
-- Function: smie-rule-sibling-p
Return non-‘nil’ if the current token’s parent is actually a
sibling. This is the case for example when the parent of a ‘","’
is just the previous ‘","’.
-- Function: smie-rule-parent &optional offset
Return the proper offset to align the current token with the
parent. If non-‘nil’, OFFSET should be an integer giving an
additional offset to apply.
-- Function: smie-rule-separator method
Indent current token as a _separator_.
By _separator_, we mean here a token whose sole purpose is to
separate various elements within some enclosing syntactic
construct, and which does not have any semantic significance in
itself (i.e., it would typically not exist as a node in an abstract
syntax tree).
Such a token is expected to have an associative syntax and be
closely tied to its syntactic parent. Typical examples are ‘","’
in lists of arguments (enclosed inside parentheses), or ‘";"’ in
sequences of instructions (enclosed in a ‘{...}’ or ‘begin...end’
block).
METHOD should be the method name that was passed to
‘smie-rules-function’.
