;;; This file defines a a shell-in-a-buffer package (shell mode) built
;;; on top of comint mode.  This is actually cmushell with things
;;; renamed to replace its counterpart in Emacs 18.  cmushell is more
;;; featureful, robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 version.

;;; Since this mode is built on top of the general command-interpreter-in-
;;; a-buffer mode (comint mode), it shares a common base functionality, 
;;; and a common set of bindings, with all modes derived from comint mode.
;;; This makes these modes easier to use.

;;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
;;; the hooks available for customising it, see the file comint.el.
;;; For further information on shell mode, see the comments below.

;;; Needs fixin:
;;; When sending text from a source file to a subprocess, the process-mark can 
;;; move off the window, so you can lose sight of the process interactions.
;;; Maybe I should ensure the process mark is in the window when I send
;;; text to the process? Switch selectable?

;;; SHELL.EL COMPATIBILITY
;;; Notes from when this was called cmushell, and was not the standard emacs
;;; shell package.
;;;============================================================================
;;; In brief: this package should have no trouble coexisting with shell.el.
;;; 
;;; Most customising variables -- e.g., explicit-shell-file-name -- are the
;;; same, so the users shouldn't have much trouble. Hooks have different
;;; names, however, so you can customise shell mode differently from cmushell
;;; mode. You basically just have to remember to type M-x cmushell instead of
;;; M-x shell.
;;; 
;;; It would be nice if this file was completely plug-compatible with the old
;;; shell package -- if you could just name this file shell.el, and have it
;;; transparently replace the old one. But you can't.  Several other packages
;;; (tex-mode, background, dbx, gdb, kermit, monkey, prolog, telnet) are also
;;; clients of shell mode. These packages assume detailed knowledge of shell
;;; mode internals in ways that are incompatible with cmushell mode (mostly
;;; because of cmushell mode's greater functionality).  So, unless we are
;;; willing to port all of these packages, we can't have this file be a
;;; complete replacement for shell.el -- that is, we can't name this file
;;; shell.el, and its main entry point (shell), because dbx.el will break
;;; when it loads it in and tries to use it.
;;; 
;;; There are two ways to fix this. One: rewrite these other modes to use the
;;; new package. This is a win, but can't be assumed. The other, backwards
;;; compatible route, is to make this package non-conflict with shell.el, so
;;; both files can be loaded in at the same time. And *that* is why some
;;; functions and variables have different names: (cmushell),
;;; cmushell-mode-map, that sort of thing. All the names have been carefully
;;; chosen so that shell.el and cmushell.el won't tromp on each other.

;;; Directory tracking
;;; ===========================================================================
;;; This code provides the shell mode input sentinel
;;;     SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER
;;; that tracks cd, pushd, and popd commands issued to the shell, and
;;; changes the current directory of the shell buffer accordingly.
;;;
;;; This is basically a fragile hack, although it's more accurate than
;;; the released version in shell.el. It has the following failings:
;;; 1. It doesn't know about the cdpath shell variable.
;;; 2. It only spots the first command in a command sequence. E.g., it will
;;;    miss the cd in "ls; cd foo"
;;; 3. More generally, any complex command (like ";" sequencing) is going to
;;;    throw it. Otherwise, you'd have to build an entire shell interpreter in
;;;    emacs lisp.  Failing that, there's no way to catch shell commands where
;;;    cd's are buried inside conditional expressions, aliases, and so forth.
;;;
;;; The whole approach is a crock. Shell aliases mess it up. File sourcing
;;; messes it up. You run other processes under the shell; these each have
;;; separate working directories, and some have commands for manipulating
;;; their w.d.'s (e.g., the lcd command in ftp). Some of these programs have
;;; commands that do *not* affect the current w.d. at all, but look like they
;;; do (e.g., the cd command in ftp).  In shells that allow you job
;;; control, you can switch between jobs, all having different w.d.'s. So
;;; simply saying %3 can shift your w.d..
;;;
;;; The solution is to relax, not stress out about it, and settle for
;;; a hack that works pretty well in typical circumstances. Remember
;;; that a half-assed solution is more in keeping with the spirit of Unix, 
;;; anyway. Blech.
;;;
;;; One good hack not implemented here for users of programmable shells
;;; is to program up the shell w.d. manipulation commands to output
;;; a coded command sequence to the tty. Something like
;;;     ESC | <cwd> |
;;; where <cwd> is the new current working directory. Then trash the
;;; directory tracking machinery currently used in this package, and
;;; replace it with a process filter that watches for and strips out
;;; these messages.

;;; REGEXP is a regular expression. STR is a string. START is a fixnum.
;;; Returns T if REGEXP matches STR where the match is anchored to start
;;; at position START in STR. Sort of like LOOKING-AT for strings.

;;; Interfacing to client packages (and converting them)
;;; Notes from when this was called cmushell, and was not the standard emacs
;;; shell package.  Many of the conversions discussed here have been done.
;;;============================================================================
;;; 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 directly, but they predate it.
;;; The catch is that most of these packages (dbx, gdb, prolog, telnet)
;;; assume total knowledge of all the local variables that shell mode
;;; functions depend on. So they (kill-all-local-variables), then create
;;; the few local variables that shell.el functions depend on. Alas,
;;; cmushell.el functions depend on a different set of vars (for example,
;;; the input history ring is a local variable in cmushell.el's shell mode,
;;; whereas there is no input history ring in shell.el's shell mode).
;;; So we have a situation where the greater functionality of cmushell.el
;;; is biting us -- you can't just replace shell will cmushell.
;;;
;;; Altering these packages to use comint mode directly should *greatly*
;;; improve their functionality, and is actually pretty easy. It's
;;; mostly a matter of renaming a few variable names. See comint.el for more.

;;; Change Log
;;; ===========================================================================
;;; Olin 8/88
;;; Created.
;;;
;;; Olin 5/26/90
;;; - Split cmulisp and cmushell modes into separate files. 
;;;   Not only is this a good idea, it's apparently the way it'll be rel 19.
;;; - Souped up the directory tracking; it now can handle pushd, pushd +n, 
;;;   and popd +n.
;;; - Added cmushell-dirtrack-toggle command to toggle the directory
;;;   tracking that cmushell tries to do. This is useful, for example,
;;;   when you are running ftp -- it prevents the ftp "cd" command from
;;;   spoofing the tracking machinery. This command is also named 
;;;   dirtrack-toggle, so you need only type M-x dirtrack to run it.
;;; - Added cmushell-resync-dirs command. This queries the shell
;;;   for the current directory stack, and resets the buffer's stack
;;;   accordingly. This command is also named dirs, so you need only type
;;;   M-x dirs to run it.
;;; - Bits of the new directory tracking code were adapted from source
;;;   contributed by Vince Broman, Jeff Peck, and Barry Warsaw.
;;; - See also the improvements made to comint.el at the same time.
;;; - Renamed several variables. Mostly this comprised changing "shell"
;;;   to "cmushell" in the names. The only variables that are not prefixed
;;;   with "cmushell-" are the ones that are common with shell.el:
;;;       explicit-shell-file-name shell-prompt-pattern explicit-csh-args 
;;;       and shell-cd/popd/pushd-regexp
;;;   The variables and functions that were changed to have "cmushell-" 
;;;   prefixes are:
;;;       shell-directory-stack (v), shell-directory-tracker (f)
;;;   This should not affect users, only Emacs Lisp hackers. Hopefully
;;;   one day shell.el will just go away, and we can drop all this
;;;   "cmushell" bullshit.
;;; - Upgraded process sends to use comint-send-string instead of
;;;   process-send-string.

;;; - If your shell is named <shellname>, and a variable named
;;;   explicit-<shellname>-args exists, cmushell is supposed
;;;   to use its value as the arglist to the shell invocation.
;;;   E.g., if you define explicit-csh-args to be 
;;;   ("-ifx"), then when cmushell cranks up a csh, it execs it
;;;   as "csh -ifx". This is what is documented. What has actually
;;;   been the case is that the variable checked is
;;;   explicit-<shellname>-arguments, not explicit-<shellname>-args.
;;;   The documentation has been changed to conform to the code (for
;;;   backwards compatibility with shell.el). This bug is inherited from
;;;   the same bug in shell.el.
;;;   This bug reported by Stephen Anderson.

;;; Olin 9/5/90
;;; - Arguments to cd, popd, and pushd now have their env vars expanded
;;;   out by the tracking machinery. So if you say "cd $SRCDIR/funs", the
;;;   $SRCDIR var will be replaced by its value *in emacs' process
;;;   environment*. If this is different from the shell's binding of the
;;;   variable, you lose.  Several users needed this feature, fragile
;;;   though it may be.  The fix was contributed by [e-mail].
;;;
;;; Olin 3/12/91
;;; - Moved comint-dynamic-complete (filename completion) from M-tab to tab.
;;;
;;; Jim Blandy 10/30/91
;;; - Removed the "cmu" prefix from names, renamed file to shell.el,
;;;   to become the standard shell package.
