Variable: syntax-ppss-wide

syntax-ppss-wide is a buffer-local variable defined in syntax.el.gz.

Documentation

Cons of two elements (LAST . CACHE).

Where LAST is a pair (LAST-POS . LAST-PPS) caching the last invocation and CACHE is a list of (POS . PPSS) pairs, in decreasing POS order. These are valid when the buffer has no restriction.

Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/syntax.el.gz
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Several caches.
;;
;; Because `syntax-ppss' is equivalent to (parse-partial-sexp
;; (POINT-MIN) x), we need either to empty the cache when we narrow
;; the buffer, which is suboptimal, or we need to use several caches.
;; We use two of them, one for widened buffer, and one for narrowing.
