Bug fix for hi-lock mode.


From: David Koppelman
Subject: Bug fix for hi-lock mode.
Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2010 10:25:03 -0500
User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.0.50 (gnu/linux)

The following patch fixes hi-lock, a minor mode I wrote, which was
broken some time ago due to changes in font-lock behavior.

Problems were due to font-lock-mode turning off and back on again,
that would turn off hi-lock mode. Now, turning off font lock does not
turn off hi-lock. Another problem was due to hi-lock adding keywords
when font lock mode was on (font-lock-mode non-nil) but
font-lock-keywords was nil, that would clobber non-font-lock
highlighting (Bug 635). Now hi-lock uses font-lock-fontified to decide
whether to add keywords to font lock. (If font-lock-fontified is nil
hi-lock will apply its own overlays for highlighting.)

I don't like using font-lock-fontified to determine whether font lock
is active because it's more of an internal font-lock
variable. However, it's the best solution I can come up with at the
moment (and the existing hi-lock code had been using
font-lock-fontified for some time).

Here is a change log entry followed by a patch. Could someone
check this in if it's suitable.

        * hi-lock.el (hi-lock-font-lock-hook): Check font-lock-fontified
        instead of font-lock-mode before adding keywords. Removed
        hi-lock-mode off code. Removed inhibit hack.
        (hi-lock-set-pattern): Only add keywords if font-lock-fontified
        non-nil; removed hook inhibit hack.
