Hi, Emacs!
I sometimes have problems with long rambling elisp defuns, in that some
critical variable, say `c-state-cache' is updated in several (or even
many) places in the defun, and it's difficult to see the places it gets
changed.
Hi-lock-mode is helpful here, in that I can highlight occurances of
"c-state-cache" and occurances of "setq". But the longer and ramblinger
a defun becomes, the less helpful is this.
I would like a tool which would highlight these:
(setq foo bar
c-state-cache (cdr c-state-cache))
(setcar c-state-cache (caar c-state-cache))
, but not this:
(setq old-cache c-state-cache)
. Does anybody know of anything like this in existance?
Thanks!
