;;; This hopefully generalises shell mode, lisp mode, tea mode, soar mode,...
;;; This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
;;; (comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
;;; modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
;;; This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality, 
;;; and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
;;; saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).

;;; Several packages are already defined using comint mode:
;;; - cmushell.el defines a shell-in-a-buffer mode.
;;; - cmulisp.el defines a simple lisp-in-a-buffer mode.
;;; Cmushell and cmulisp mode are similar to, and intended to replace,
;;; their counterparts in the standard gnu emacs release (in shell.el). 
;;; These replacements are more featureful, robust, and uniform than the 
;;; released versions. The key bindings in lisp mode are also more compatible
;;; with the bindings of Hemlock and Zwei (the Lisp Machine emacs).
;;;
;;; - The file cmuscheme.el defines a scheme-in-a-buffer mode.
;;; - The file tea.el tunes scheme and inferior-scheme modes for T.
;;; - The file soar.el tunes lisp and inferior-lisp modes for Soar.
;;; - cmutex.el defines tex and latex modes that invoke tex, latex, bibtex,
;;;   previewers, and printers from within emacs.
;;; - background.el allows csh-like job control inside emacs.
;;; It is pretty easy to make new derived modes for other processes.

;;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
;;; the hooks available for customising it, see the comments below.
;;; For further information on the standard derived modes (shell, 
;;; inferior-lisp, inferior-scheme, ...), see the relevant source files.

;;; For hints on converting existing process modes (e.g., tex-mode,
;;; background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog, telnet) to use comint-mode
;;; instead of shell-mode, see the notes at the end of this file.

comint-prompt-regexp to the appropriate regular expression.

;;; Support for source-file processing commands.
;;;============================================================================
;;; Many command-interpreters (e.g., Lisp, Scheme, Soar) have
;;; commands that process files of source text (e.g. loading or compiling
;;; files). So the corresponding process-in-a-buffer modes have commands
;;; for doing this (e.g., lisp-load-file). The functions below are useful
;;; for defining these commands.
;;;
;;; Alas, these guys don't do exactly the right thing for Lisp, Scheme
;;; and Soar, in that they don't know anything about file extensions.
;;; So the compile/load interface gets the wrong default occasionally.
;;; The load-file/compile-file default mechanism could be smarter -- it
;;; doesn't know about the relationship between filename extensions and
;;; whether the file is source or executable. If you compile foo.lisp
;;; with compile-file, then the next load-file should use foo.bin for
;;; the default, not foo.lisp. This is tricky to do right, particularly
;;; because the extension for executable files varies so much (.o, .bin,
;;; .lbin, .mo, .vo, .ao, ...).


;;; COMINT-SOURCE-DEFAULT -- determines defaults for source-file processing
;;; commands.
;;;
;;; COMINT-CHECK-SOURCE -- if FNAME is in a modified buffer, asks you if you
;;; want to save the buffer before issuing any process requests to the command
;;; interpreter.
;;;
;;; COMINT-GET-SOURCE -- used by the source-file processing commands to prompt
;;; for the file to process.

;;; (COMINT-SOURCE-DEFAULT previous-dir/file source-modes)
;;;============================================================================
;;; This function computes the defaults for the load-file and compile-file
;;; commands for tea, soar, cmulisp, and cmuscheme modes. 
;;; 
;;; - PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is a pair (directory . filename) from the last 
;;; source-file processing command. NIL if there hasn't been one yet.
;;; - SOURCE-MODES is a list used to determine what buffers contain source
;;; files: if the major mode of the buffer is in SOURCE-MODES, it's source.
;;; Typically, (lisp-mode) or (scheme-mode).
;;; 
;;; If the command is given while the cursor is inside a string, *and*
;;; the string is an existing filename, *and* the filename is not a directory,
;;; then the string is taken as default. This allows you to just position
;;; your cursor over a string that's a filename and have it taken as default.
;;;
;;; If the command is given in a file buffer whose major mode is in
;;; SOURCE-MODES, then the the filename is the default file, and the
;;; file's directory is the default directory.
;;; 
;;; If the buffer isn't a source file buffer (e.g., it's the process buffer),
;;; then the default directory & file are what was used in the last source-file
;;; processing command (i.e., PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE).  If this is the first time
;;; the command has been run (PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is nil), the default directory
;;; is the cwd, with no default file. (\"no default file\" = nil)
;;; 
;;; SOURCE-REGEXP is typically going to be something like (tea-mode)
;;; for T programs, (lisp-mode) for Lisp programs, (soar-mode lisp-mode)
;;; for Soar programs, etc.
;;; 
;;; The function returns a pair: (default-directory . default-file).

;;; It prompts for the filename, provides a default, if there is one,
;;; and returns the result filename.
;;; 
;;; See COMINT-SOURCE-DEFAULT for more on determining defaults.
;;; 
;;; PROMPT is the prompt string. PREV-DIR/FILE is the (directory . file) pair
;;; from the last source processing command.  SOURCE-MODES is a list of major
;;; modes used to determine what file buffers contain source files.  (These
;;; two arguments are used for determining defaults). If MUSTMATCH-P is true,
;;; then the filename reader will only accept a file that exists.
;;;

;;; (interactive (comint-get-source "Compile file: " prev-lisp-dir/file

;;; Converting process modes to use comint mode
;;; ===========================================================================
;;; Several gnu packages (tex-mode, background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog, 
;;; telnet are some) use the shell package as clients. Most of them would
;;; be better off using the comint package, but they predate it. 
;;;
;;; Altering these packages to use comint mode should greatly
;;; improve their functionality, and is fairly easy.
;;; 
;;; Renaming variables
;;; Most of the work is renaming variables and functions. These are the common
;;; ones:
;;; Local variables:
;;; 	last-input-end		comint-last-input-end
;;;	last-input-start	<unnecessary>
;;;	shell-prompt-pattern	comint-prompt-regexp
;;;     shell-set-directory-error-hook <no equivalent>
;;; Miscellaneous:
;;;	shell-set-directory	<unnecessary>
;;; 	shell-mode-map		comint-mode-map
;;; Commands:
;;;	shell-send-input	comint-send-input
;;;	shell-send-eof		comint-delchar-or-maybe-eof
;;; 	kill-shell-input	comint-kill-input
;;;	interrupt-shell-subjob	comint-interrupt-subjob
;;;	stop-shell-subjob	comint-stop-subjob
;;;	quit-shell-subjob	comint-quit-subjob
;;;	kill-shell-subjob	comint-kill-subjob
;;;	kill-output-from-shell	comint-kill-output
;;;	show-output-from-shell	comint-show-output
;;;	copy-last-shell-input	Use comint-previous-input/comint-next-input
;;;
;;; LAST-INPUT-START is no longer necessary because inputs are stored on the
;;; input history ring. SHELL-SET-DIRECTORY is gone, its functionality taken
;;; over by SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER, the shell mode's comint-input-sentinel.
;;; Comint mode does not provide functionality equivalent to 
;;; shell-set-directory-error-hook; it is gone.
;;; 
;;; If you are implementing some process-in-a-buffer mode, called foo-mode, do
;;; *not* create the comint-mode local variables in your foo-mode function.
;;; This is not modular.  Instead, call comint-mode, and let *it* create the
;;; necessary comint-specific local variables. Then create the
;;; foo-mode-specific local variables in foo-mode.  Set the buffer's keymap to
;;; be foo-mode-map, and its mode to be foo-mode.  Set the comint-mode hooks
;;; (comint-prompt-regexp, comint-input-filter, comint-input-sentinel,
;;; comint-get-old-input) that need to be different from the defaults.  Call
;;; foo-mode-hook, and you're done. Don't run the comint-mode hook yourself;
;;; comint-mode will take care of it. The following example, from cmushell.el,
;;; is typical:
;;; 
;;; (defun shell-mode ()
;;;   (interactive)
;;;   (comint-mode)
;;;   (setq comint-prompt-regexp shell-prompt-pattern)
;;;   (setq major-mode 'shell-mode)
;;;   (setq mode-name "Shell")
;;;   (cond ((not shell-mode-map)
;;; 	     (setq shell-mode-map (full-copy-sparse-keymap comint-mode-map))
;;; 	     (define-key shell-mode-map "\M-\t" 'comint-dynamic-complete)
;;; 	     (define-key shell-mode-map "\M-?"
;;;                      'comint-dynamic-list-completions)))
;;;   (use-local-map shell-mode-map)
;;;   (make-local-variable 'shell-directory-stack)
;;;   (setq shell-directory-stack nil)
;;;   (setq comint-input-sentinel 'shell-directory-tracker)
;;;   (run-hooks 'shell-mode-hook))
;;;
;;;
;;; Note that make-comint is different from make-shell in that it
;;; doesn't have a default program argument. If you give make-shell
;;; a program name of NIL, it cleverly chooses one of explicit-shell-name,
;;; $ESHELL, $SHELL, or /bin/sh. If you give make-comint a program argument
;;; of NIL, it barfs. Adjust your code accordingly...
;;;

;;; Do the user's customisation...

(run-hooks 'comint-load-hook)

;;; Change log:
;;; 9/12/89 
;;;  - Souped up the filename expansion procedures.
;;;    Doc strings are much clearer and more detailed.
;;;    Fixed a bug where doing a filename completion when the point
;;;    was in the middle of the filename instead of at the end would lose.
;;;
;;; 2/17/90 
;;;  - Souped up the command history stuff so that text inserted
;;;    by comint-previous-input-matching is removed by following
;;;    command history recalls. comint-next/previous-input-matching
;;;    is now much more smoothly integrated w/the command history stuff.
;;;  - Added comint-eol-on-send flag and comint-input-sender hook.
;;;    Comint-input-sender based on code contributed by Jeff Peck
;;;    ([e-mail]).
;;;
;;; 3/13/90 [e-mail]
;;;  - Added comint-previous-similar-input for looking up similar inputs.
;;;  - Added comint-send-and-get-output to allow snarfing input from
;;;    buffer. 
;;;  - Added the ability to pick up a source file by positioning over
;;;    a string in comint-get-source.
;;;  - Added add-hook to make it a little easier for the user to use
;;;    multiple hooks.
;;;  
;;; 5/22/90 shivers
;;; - Moved Chris' multiplexed ipc stuff to comint-ipc.el.
;;; - Altered Chris' comint-get-source string feature. The string
;;;   is only offered as a default if it names an existing file.
;;; - Changed comint-exec to directly crank up the process, instead
;;;   of calling the env program. This made background.el happy.
;;; - Added new buffer-local var comint-ptyp. The problem is that
;;;   the signalling functions don't work as advertised. If you are
;;;   communicating via pipes, the CURRENT-GROUP arg is supposed to
;;;   be ignored, but, unfortunately it seems to be the case that you
;;;   must pass a NIL for this arg in the pipe case. COMINT-PTYP
;;;   is a flag that tells whether the process is communicating
;;;   via pipes or a pty. The comint signalling functions use it
;;;   to determine the necessary CURRENT-GROUP arg value. The bug
;;;   has been reported to the Gnu folks.
;;; - comint-dynamic-complete flushes the help window if you hit space
;;;   after you execute it.
;;; - Added functions comint-send-string, comint-send-region and var 
;;;   comint-input-chunk-size.  comint-send-string tries to prevent processes
;;;   from hanging when you send them long strings by breaking them into
;;;   chunks and allowing process output between chunks. I got the idea from
;;;   Eero Simoncelli's Common Lisp package. Note that using
;;;   comint-send-string means that the process buffer's contents can change
;;;   during a call!  If you depend on process output only happening between
;;;   toplevel commands, this could be a problem. In such a case, use
;;;   process-send-string instead. If this is a problem for people, I'd like
;;;   to hear about it.
;;; - Added comint-proc-query as a simple mechanism for commands that
;;;   want to query an inferior process and display its response. For a
;;;   typical use, see lisp-show-arglist in cmulisp.el.
;;; - Added constant comint-version, which is now "2.01".
;;;
;;; 6/14/90 shivers
;;; - Had comint-update-env defined twice. Removed extra copy. Also
;;;   renamed mem to be comint-mem, for modularity. The duplication
;;;   was reported by Michael Meissner.
;;; 6/16/90 shivers
;;; - Emacs has two different mechanisms for maintaining the process
;;;   environment, determined at compile time by the MAINTAIN-ENVIRONMENT
;;;   #define. One uses the process-environment global variable, and
;;;   one uses a getenv/setenv interface. comint-exec assumed the
;;;   process-environment interface; it has been generalised (with
;;;   comint-exec-1) to handle both cases. Pretty bogus. We could,
;;;   of course, skip all this and just use the etc/env program to
;;;   handle the environment tweaking, but that obscures process
;;;   queries that other modules (like background.el) depend on. etc/env
;;;   is also fairly bogus. This bug, and some of the fix code was
;;;   reported by Dan Pierson.
;;;
;;; 9/5/90 shivers
;;; - Changed make-variable-buffer-local's to make-local-variable's.
;;;   This leaves non-comint-mode buffers alone. Stephane Payrard
;;;   reported the sloppy useage.
;;; - You can now go from comint-previous-similar-input to
;;;   comint-previous-input with no problem.
;;;
;;; 12/21/90 shivers
;;; - Added a condition-case to comint-get-source. Bogus strings
;;;   beginning with ~ were making the file-exists-p barf.
;;; - Added "=" to the set of chars recognised by file completion
;;;   as constituting a filename.
;;;
;;; 1/90 shivers
;;; These changes comprise release 2.02:
;;; - Removed the kill-all-local-variables in comint-mode. This
;;;   made it impossible for client modes to set things before calling
;;;   comint-mode. (In particular, it messed up ilisp.el) In general,
;;;   the client mode should be responsible for a k-a-l-v's.
;;; - Fixed comint-match-partial-pathname so that it works in
;;;   more cases: if the filename begins at the start-of-buffer;
;;;   if point is on the first char of the filename. Just a question
;;;   of getting the tricky bits right.
;;; - Added a hook, comint-exec-hook that is run each time a process
;;;   is cranked up. Useful for things like process-kill-without-query.
;;;
;;; - Improved the doc string in comint-send-input a little bit.
;;; - Tweaked make-comint to check process status with comint-check-proc
;;;   instead of equivalent inline code. 
;;; These two were pointed out by tale.
;;; - Prompt-search history commands have been commented out. I never
;;;   liked them; I don't think anyone used them.
