57 To run @code{make} or another compilation command, do @kbd{M-x | |

59 and then executes the command in an inferior shell, putting output in | |
60 the buffer named @samp{*compilation*}. The current buffer's default | |
61 directory is used as the working directory for the execution of the | |
62 command; normally, therefore, the compilation happens in this | |

268 The features of Compilation mode are also available in a minor mode | |
269 called Compilation Minor mode. This lets you parse error messages in | |
270 any buffer, not just a normal compilation output buffer. Type @kbd{M-x | |
271 compilation-minor-mode} to enable the minor mode. This defines the keys | |
272 @key{RET} and @kbd{Mouse-2}, as in the Compilation major mode. | |
273 | |
274 Compilation minor mode works in any buffer, as long as the contents | |
275 are in a format that it understands. In an Rlogin buffer (@pxref{Remote | |
276 Host}), Compilation minor mode automatically accesses remote source | |
277 files by FTP (@pxref{File Names}). | |
278 | |
279 @node Compilation Shell | |
280 @section Subshells for Compilation | |
281 | |
282 Emacs uses a shell to run the compilation command, but specifies | |
283 the option for a noninteractive shell. This means, in particular, that | |
284 the shell should start with no prompt. If you find your usual shell | |
285 prompt making an unsightly appearance in the @samp{*compilation*} | |
286 buffer, it means you have made a mistake in your shell's init file by | |
287 setting the prompt unconditionally. (This init file's name may be | |
288 @file{.bashrc}, @file{.profile}, @file{.cshrc}, @file{.shrc}, or various | |
289 other things, depending on the shell you use.) The shell init file | |
290 should set the prompt only if there already is a prompt. In csh, here | |
291 is how to do it: | |
292 | |
293 @example | |
294 if ($?prompt) set prompt = @dots{} | |
295 @end example | |
296 | |
297 @noindent | |
298 And here's how to do it in bash: | |
299 | |
300 @example | |
301 if [ "$@{PS1+set@}" = set ] | |
302 then PS1=@dots{} | |
303 fi | |
304 @end example | |
305 | |
306 There may well be other things that your shell's init file | |
307 ought to do only for an interactive shell. You can use the same | |
308 method to conditionalize them. | |
309 | |
310 The MS-DOS ``operating system'' does not support asynchronous | |
311 subprocesses; to work around this lack, @kbd{M-x compile} runs the | |
312 compilation command synchronously on MS-DOS. As a consequence, you must | |
313 wait until the command finishes before you can do anything else in | |
314 Emacs. @xref{MS-DOS}. | |

365 @section Finding Syntax Errors On The Fly | |
366 @cindex checking syntax | |
367 | |
368 Flymake mode is a minor mode that performs on-the-fly syntax | |
369 checking for many programming and markup languages, including C, C++, | |
370 Perl, HTML, and @TeX{}/La@TeX{}. It is somewhat analogous to Flyspell | |
371 mode, which performs spell checking for ordinary human languages in a | |
372 similar fashion (@pxref{Spelling}). As you edit a file, Flymake mode | |
373 runs an appropriate syntax checking tool in the background, using a | |
374 temporary copy of the buffer. It then parses the error and warning | |
375 messages, and highlights the erroneous lines in the buffer. The | |
376 syntax checking tool used depends on the language; for example, for | |
377 C/C++ files this is usually the C compiler. Flymake can also use | |
378 build tools such as @code{make} for checking complicated projects. | |
379 | |
380 To activate Flymake mode, type @kbd{M-x flymake-mode}. You can move | |
381 to the errors spotted by Flymake mode with @kbd{M-x | |
382 flymake-goto-next-error} and @kbd{M-x flymake-goto-prev-error}. To | |
383 display any error messages associated with the current line, use | |
384 @kbd{M-x flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line}. | |

386 For more details about using Flymake, see @ref{Top, Flymake, | |

485 @cindex fringes, and current execution line in GUD |
25829 | 486 When you run a debugger with GUD, the debugger uses an Emacs buffer |
487 for its ordinary input and output. This is called the GUD buffer. The | |
488 debugger displays the source files of the program by visiting them in | |
489 Emacs buffers. An arrow (@samp{=>}) in one of these buffers indicates | |
42913 | 490 the current execution line.@footnote{Under a window system, the arrow |
491 appears in the left fringe of the Emacs window.} Moving point in this | |
492 buffer does not move the arrow. | |
25829 | 493 |
494 You can start editing these source files at any time in the buffers | |

495 that display them. The arrow is not part of the file's |
25829 | 496 text; it appears only on the screen. If you do modify a source file, |
497 keep in mind that inserting or deleting lines will throw off the arrow's | |
498 positioning; GUD has no way of figuring out which line corresponded | |
499 before your changes to the line number in a debugger message. Also, | |
500 you'll typically have to recompile and restart the program for your | |
501 changes to be reflected in the debugger's tables. | |
502 | |
503 If you wish, you can control your debugger process entirely through the | |
504 debugger buffer, which uses a variant of Shell mode. All the usual | |
505 commands for your debugger are available, and you can use the Shell mode | |
506 history commands to repeat them. @xref{Shell Mode}. | |

697 @code{pdb-mode-hook}, for PDB; @code{jdb-mode-hook}, for JDB. You can |
25829 | 698 use these hooks to define custom key bindings for the debugger |
699 interaction buffer. @xref{Hooks}. | |
700 | |
701 Here is a convenient way to define a command that sends a particular | |
702 command string to the debugger, and set up a key binding for it in the | |
703 debugger interaction buffer: | |
704 | |
705 @findex gud-def | |
706 @example | |
707 (gud-def @var{function} @var{cmdstring} @var{binding} @var{docstring}) | |
708 @end example | |
709 | |
710 This defines a command named @var{function} which sends | |
711 @var{cmdstring} to the debugger process, and gives it the documentation | |
38743 | 712 string @var{docstring}. You can then use the command @var{function} in any |
25829 | 713 buffer. If @var{binding} is non-@code{nil}, @code{gud-def} also binds |
714 the command to @kbd{C-c @var{binding}} in the GUD buffer's mode and to | |
715 @kbd{C-x C-a @var{binding}} generally. | |
716 | |
717 The command string @var{cmdstring} may contain certain | |
718 @samp{%}-sequences that stand for data to be filled in at the time | |
719 @var{function} is called: | |
720 | |
721 @table @samp | |
722 @item %f | |
723 The name of the current source file. If the current buffer is the GUD | |
724 buffer, then the ``current source file'' is the file that the program | |
725 stopped in. | |
726 @c This said, ``the name of the file the program counter was in at the last breakpoint.'' | |
727 @c But I suspect it is really the last stop file. | |
728 | |
729 @item %l | |
730 The number of the current source line. If the current buffer is the GUD | |
731 buffer, then the ``current source line'' is the line that the program | |
732 stopped in. | |
733 | |
734 @item %e | |
735 The text of the C lvalue or function-call expression at or adjacent to point. | |
736 | |
737 @item %a | |
738 The text of the hexadecimal address at or adjacent to point. | |
739 | |
740 @item %p | |
741 The numeric argument of the called function, as a decimal number. If | |
742 the command is used without a numeric argument, @samp{%p} stands for the | |
743 empty string. | |
744 | |
745 If you don't use @samp{%p} in the command string, the command you define | |
746 ignores any numeric argument. | |

971 | |
972 Emacs has several different major modes for Lisp and Scheme. They are | |
973 the same in terms of editing commands, but differ in the commands for | |
974 executing Lisp expressions. Each mode has its own purpose. | |
975 | |
976 @table @asis | |
977 @item Emacs-Lisp mode | |
978 The mode for editing source files of programs to run in Emacs Lisp. | |
979 This mode defines @kbd{C-M-x} to evaluate the current defun. | |
980 @xref{Lisp Libraries}. | |
981 @item Lisp Interaction mode | |
982 The mode for an interactive session with Emacs Lisp. It defines | |
983 @kbd{C-j} to evaluate the sexp before point and insert its value in the | |
984 buffer. @xref{Lisp Interaction}. | |
985 @item Lisp mode | |
986 The mode for editing source files of programs that run in Lisps other | |
987 than Emacs Lisp. This mode defines @kbd{C-M-x} to send the current defun | |
988 to an inferior Lisp process. @xref{External Lisp}. | |
989 @item Inferior Lisp mode | |
990 The mode for an interactive session with an inferior Lisp process. | |
991 This mode combines the special features of Lisp mode and Shell mode | |
992 (@pxref{Shell Mode}). | |
993 @item Scheme mode | |
994 Like Lisp mode but for Scheme programs. | |
995 @item Inferior Scheme mode | |
996 The mode for an interactive session with an inferior Scheme process. | |

998 | |
999 Most editing commands for working with Lisp programs are in fact | |
1000 available globally. @xref{Programs}. | |
1001 | |
1002 @node Lisp Libraries | |
1003 @section Libraries of Lisp Code for Emacs | |
1004 @cindex libraries | |
1005 @cindex loading Lisp code | |
1006 | |
1007 Lisp code for Emacs editing commands is stored in files whose names | |
1008 conventionally end in @file{.el}. This ending tells Emacs to edit them in | |
1009 Emacs-Lisp mode (@pxref{Executing Lisp}). | |
1010 | |
1011 @findex load-file | |
1012 To execute a file of Emacs Lisp code, use @kbd{M-x load-file}. This | |
1013 command reads a file name using the minibuffer and then executes the | |
1014 contents of that file as Lisp code. It is not necessary to visit the | |
1015 file first; in any case, this command reads the file as found on disk, | |
1016 not text in an Emacs buffer. | |
1017 | |
1018 @findex load | |
1019 @findex load-library | |
1020 Once a file of Lisp code is installed in the Emacs Lisp library | |
1021 directories, users can load it using @kbd{M-x load-library}. Programs can | |
1022 load it by calling @code{load-library}, or with @code{load}, a more primitive | |
1023 function that is similar but accepts some additional arguments. | |
1024 | |
1025 @kbd{M-x load-library} differs from @kbd{M-x load-file} in that it | |
1026 searches a sequence of directories and tries three file names in each | |
1027 directory. Suppose your argument is @var{lib}; the three names are | |
1028 @file{@var{lib}.elc}, @file{@var{lib}.el}, and lastly just | |
1029 @file{@var{lib}}. If @file{@var{lib}.elc} exists, it is by convention | |
1030 the result of compiling @file{@var{lib}.el}; it is better to load the | |
1031 compiled file, since it will load and run faster. | |
1032 | |
1033 If @code{load-library} finds that @file{@var{lib}.el} is newer than | |

1034 @file{@var{lib}.elc} file, it issues a warning, because it's likely that |
25829 | 1035 somebody made changes to the @file{.el} file and forgot to recompile |
1036 it. | |
1037 | |
1038 Because the argument to @code{load-library} is usually not in itself | |
1039 a valid file name, file name completion is not available. Indeed, when | |
1040 using this command, you usually do not know exactly what file name | |
1041 will be used. | |
1042 | |
1043 @vindex load-path | |
1044 The sequence of directories searched by @kbd{M-x load-library} is | |
1045 specified by the variable @code{load-path}, a list of strings that are | |
1046 directory names. The default value of the list contains the directory where | |
1047 the Lisp code for Emacs itself is stored. If you have libraries of | |
1048 your own, put them in a single directory and add that directory | |
1049 to @code{load-path}. @code{nil} in this list stands for the current default | |
1050 directory, but it is probably not a good idea to put @code{nil} in the | |
1051 list. If you find yourself wishing that @code{nil} were in the list, | |
1052 most likely what you really want to do is use @kbd{M-x load-file} | |
1053 this once. | |
1054 | |
1055 @cindex autoload | |
1056 Often you do not have to give any command to load a library, because | |
1057 the commands defined in the library are set up to @dfn{autoload} that | |
1058 library. Trying to run any of those commands calls @code{load} to load | |
1059 the library; this replaces the autoload definitions with the real ones | |
1060 from the library. | |
1061 | |
1062 @cindex byte code | |
1063 Emacs Lisp code can be compiled into byte-code which loads faster, | |
1064 takes up less space when loaded, and executes faster. @xref{Byte | |
1065 Compilation,, Byte Compilation, elisp, the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}. | |
1066 By convention, the compiled code for a library goes in a separate file | |
1067 whose name consists of the library source file with @samp{c} appended. | |
1068 Thus, the compiled code for @file{foo.el} goes in @file{foo.elc}. | |
1069 That's why @code{load-library} searches for @samp{.elc} files first. | |

1084 Lisp programs intended to be run in Emacs should be edited in | |
1085 Emacs-Lisp mode; this happens automatically for file names ending in | |
1086 @file{.el}. By contrast, Lisp mode itself is used for editing Lisp | |
1087 programs intended for other Lisp systems. To switch to Emacs-Lisp mode | |
1088 explicitly, use the command @kbd{M-x emacs-lisp-mode}. | |
1089 | |
1090 For testing of Lisp programs to run in Emacs, it is often useful to | |
1091 evaluate part of the program as it is found in the Emacs buffer. For | |
1092 example, after changing the text of a Lisp function definition, | |
1093 evaluating the definition installs the change for future calls to the | |
1094 function. Evaluation of Lisp expressions is also useful in any kind of | |
1095 editing, for invoking noninteractive functions (functions that are | |
1096 not commands). | |

25829 | 1122 @findex eval-expression |
1123 @kbd{M-:} (@code{eval-expression}) is the most basic command for evaluating | |
1124 a Lisp expression interactively. It reads the expression using the | |
1125 minibuffer, so you can execute any expression on a buffer regardless of | |
1126 what the buffer contains. When the expression is evaluated, the current | |
1127 buffer is once again the buffer that was current when @kbd{M-:} was | |
1128 typed. | |
1129 | |
1130 @kindex C-M-x @r{(Emacs-Lisp mode)} | |
1131 @findex eval-defun | |
1132 In Emacs-Lisp mode, the key @kbd{C-M-x} is bound to the command | |
1133 @code{eval-defun}, which parses the defun containing or following point | |
1134 as a Lisp expression and evaluates it. The value is printed in the echo | |
1135 area. This command is convenient for installing in the Lisp environment | |
1136 changes that you have just made in the text of a function definition. | |
1137 | |
1138 @kbd{C-M-x} treats @code{defvar} expressions specially. Normally, | |
1139 evaluating a @code{defvar} expression does nothing if the variable it | |
1140 defines already has a value. But @kbd{C-M-x} unconditionally resets the | |
1141 variable to the initial value specified in the @code{defvar} expression. | |

25829 | 1185 @node Lisp Interaction |
1186 @section Lisp Interaction Buffers | |
1187 | |
1188 The buffer @samp{*scratch*} which is selected when Emacs starts up is | |
1189 provided for evaluating Lisp expressions interactively inside Emacs. | |
1190 | |
1191 The simplest way to use the @samp{*scratch*} buffer is to insert Lisp | |
1192 expressions and type @kbd{C-j} after each expression. This command | |
1193 reads the Lisp expression before point, evaluates it, and inserts the | |
1194 value in printed representation before point. The result is a complete | |
1195 typescript of the expressions you have evaluated and their values. | |
1196 | |
1197 The @samp{*scratch*} buffer's major mode is Lisp Interaction mode, which | |
1198 is the same as Emacs-Lisp mode except for the binding of @kbd{C-j}. | |
1199 | |
1200 @findex lisp-interaction-mode | |
1201 The rationale for this feature is that Emacs must have a buffer when | |
1202 it starts up, but that buffer is not useful for editing files since a | |
1203 new buffer is made for every file that you visit. The Lisp interpreter | |
1204 typescript is the most useful thing I can think of for the initial | |
1205 buffer to do. Type @kbd{M-x lisp-interaction-mode} to put the current | |
1206 buffer in Lisp Interaction mode. | |
1207 | |
1208 @findex ielm | |
1209 An alternative way of evaluating Emacs Lisp expressions interactively | |
1210 is to use Inferior Emacs-Lisp mode, which provides an interface rather | |
1211 like Shell mode (@pxref{Shell Mode}) for evaluating Emacs Lisp | |
1212 expressions. Type @kbd{M-x ielm} to create an @samp{*ielm*} buffer | |
1213 which uses this mode. | |
1214 | |
1215 @node External Lisp | |
1216 @section Running an External Lisp | |
1217 | |
1218 Emacs has facilities for running programs in other Lisp systems. You can | |
1219 run a Lisp process as an inferior of Emacs, and pass expressions to it to | |
1220 be evaluated. You can also pass changed function definitions directly from | |
1221 the Emacs buffers in which you edit the Lisp programs to the inferior Lisp | |
1222 process. | |
1223 | |
1224 @findex run-lisp | |
1225 @vindex inferior-lisp-program | |
1226 @kindex C-x C-z | |
1227 To run an inferior Lisp process, type @kbd{M-x run-lisp}. This runs | |
1228 the program named @code{lisp}, the same program you would run by typing | |
1229 @code{lisp} as a shell command, with both input and output going through | |
1230 an Emacs buffer named @samp{*lisp*}. That is to say, any ``terminal | |
1231 output'' from Lisp will go into the buffer, advancing point, and any | |
1232 ``terminal input'' for Lisp comes from text in the buffer. (You can | |
1233 change the name of the Lisp executable file by setting the variable | |
1234 @code{inferior-lisp-program}.) | |
1235 | |
1236 To give input to Lisp, go to the end of the buffer and type the input, | |
1237 terminated by @key{RET}. The @samp{*lisp*} buffer is in Inferior Lisp | |
1238 mode, which combines the special characteristics of Lisp mode with most | |
1239 of the features of Shell mode (@pxref{Shell Mode}). The definition of | |
1240 @key{RET} to send a line to a subprocess is one of the features of Shell | |
1241 mode. | |

1244 For the source files of programs to run in external Lisps, use Lisp | |
1245 mode. This mode can be selected with @kbd{M-x lisp-mode}, and is used | |
1246 automatically for files whose names end in @file{.l}, @file{.lsp}, or | |
1247 @file{.lisp}, as most Lisp systems usually expect. | |
1248 | |

1250 @findex lisp-eval-defun | |
1251 When you edit a function in a Lisp program you are running, the easiest | |
1252 way to send the changed definition to the inferior Lisp process is the key | |
1253 @kbd{C-M-x}. In Lisp mode, this runs the function @code{lisp-eval-defun}, | |
1254 which finds the defun around or following point and sends it as input to | |
1255 the Lisp process. (Emacs can send input to any inferior process regardless | |
1256 of what buffer is current.) | |
1257 | |
1258 Contrast the meanings of @kbd{C-M-x} in Lisp mode (for editing programs | |
1259 to be run in another Lisp system) and Emacs-Lisp mode (for editing Lisp | |
1260 programs to be run in Emacs): in both modes it has the effect of installing | |
1261 the function definition that point is in, but the way of doing so is | |
1262 different according to where the relevant Lisp environment is found. | |
