;;; Commentary:

;; Installation:
;;   - Put `protobuf-mode.el' in your Emacs load-path.
;;   - Add this line to your .emacs file:
;;       (require 'protobuf-mode)
;;
;; You can customize this mode just like any mode derived from CC Mode.  If
;; you want to add customizations specific to protobuf-mode, you can use the
;; `protobuf-mode-hook'. For example, the following would make protocol-mode
;; use 2-space indentation:
;;
;;   (defconst my-protobuf-style
;;     '((c-basic-offset . 2)
;;       (indent-tabs-mode . nil)))
;;
;;   (add-hook 'protobuf-mode-hook
;;     (lambda () (c-add-style "my-style" my-protobuf-style t)))
;;
;; Refer to the documentation of CC Mode for more information about
;; customization details and how to use this mode.
;;
;; TODO:
;;   - Make highlighting for enum values work properly.
;;   - Fix the parser to recognize extensions as identifiers and not
;;     as casts.
;;   - Improve the parsing of option assignment lists. For example:
;;       optional int32 foo = 1 [(my_field_option) = 4.5];
;;   - Add support for fully-qualified identifiers (e.g., with a leading ".").

;;; Code:

(require 'cc-mode)

(eval-when-compile
  (require 'cc-langs)
  (require 'cc-fonts))

;; This mode does not inherit properties from other modes. So, we do not use 
;; the usual `c-add-language' function.
(eval-and-compile
  (put 'protobuf-mode 'c-mode-prefix "protobuf-"))

;; The following code uses of the `c-lang-defconst' macro define syntactic
;; features of protocol buffer language.  Refer to the documentation in the
;; cc-langs.el file for information about the meaning of the -kwds variables.
