;;; cmulisp.el --- improved version of standard inferior-lisp mode

;;; Copyright Olin Shivers (1988).

;; Keywords: processes, lisp

;;; Please imagine a long, tedious, legalistic 5-page gnu-style copyright
;;; notice appearing here to the effect that you may use this code any
;;; way you like, as long as you don't charge money for it, remove this
;;; notice, or hold me liable for its results.

;;; Commentary:

;;; This replaces the standard inferior-lisp mode.
;;; Hacked from tea.el by Olin Shivers ([e-mail]). 8/88
;;; Please send me bug reports, bug fixes, and extensions, so that I can
;;; merge them into the master source.
;;;
;;; Change log at end of file.

;;; This file defines a a lisp-in-a-buffer package (cmulisp mode) built on top
;;; of comint mode.  Cmulisp mode is similar to, and intended to replace, its
;;; counterpart in the standard gnu emacs release. This replacements is more
;;; featureful, robust, and uniform than the released version.  The key
;;; bindings are also more compatible with the bindings of Hemlock and Zwei
;;; (the Lisp Machine emacs).

;;; 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 cmulisp mode, see the comments below.

;;; Needs fixin:
;;; 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, ...).
;;;
;;; It would be nice if cmulisp (and inferior scheme, T, ...) modes
;;; had a verbose minor mode wherein sending or compiling defuns, etc.
;;; would be reflected in the transcript with suitable comments, e.g.
;;; ";;; redefining fact". Several ways to do this. Which is right?
;;;
;;; 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?

;; CMU Lisp Mode Commands:
;; c-m-x   lisp-send-defun     This binding is a gnu convention.
;; c-c c-l lisp-load-file  	Prompt for file name; tell Lisp to load it.
;; c-c c-k lisp-compile-file	Prompt for file name; tell Lisp to kompile it.
;; 	    	    	    	Filename completion is available, of course.
;;
;; Additionally, these commands are added to the key bindings of Lisp mode:

(defun cmulisp-mode () 
  "Major mode for interacting with an inferior Lisp process.  
Runs a Lisp interpreter as a subprocess of Emacs, with Lisp I/O through an
Emacs buffer.  Variable inferior-lisp-program controls which Lisp interpreter
is run.  Variables inferior-lisp-prompt, cmulisp-filter-regexp and
inferior-lisp-load-command can customize this mode for different Lisp
interpreters.

For information on running multiple processes in multiple buffers, see
documentation for variable cmulisp-buffer.

\\{cmulisp-mode-map}

Customisation: Entry to this mode runs the hooks on comint-mode-hook and
cmulisp-mode-hook (in that order).

You can send text to the inferior Lisp process from other buffers containing
Lisp source.  
    switch-to-lisp switches the current buffer to the Lisp process buffer.
    lisp-eval-defun sends the current defun to the Lisp process.
    lisp-compile-defun compiles the current defun.
    lisp-eval-region sends the current region to the Lisp process.
    lisp-compile-region compiles the current region.

    Prefixing the lisp-eval/compile-defun/region commands with
    a \\[universal-argument] causes a switch to the Lisp process buffer after sending
    the text.

Commands:
Return after the end of the process' output sends the text from the 
    end of process to point.
Return before the end of the process' output copies the sexp ending at point
    to the end of the process' output, and sends it.
Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
Tab indents for Lisp; with argument, shifts rest
    of expression rigidly with the current line.
C-M-q does Tab on each line starting within following expression.
Paragraphs are separated only by blank lines.  Semicolons start comments.

MULTIPLE PROCESS SUPPORT
===========================================================================
Cmulisp.el supports, in a fairly simple fashion, running multiple Lisp
processes. To run multiple Lisp processes, you start the first up with
\\[cmulisp]. It will be in a buffer named *cmulisp*. Rename this buffer
with \\[rename-buffer]. You may now start up a new process with another
\\[cmulisp]. It will be in a new buffer, named *cmulisp*. You can
switch between the different process buffers with \\[switch-to-buffer].

Commands that send text from source buffers to Lisp processes --
like lisp-eval-defun or lisp-show-arglist -- have to choose a process
to send to, when you have more than one Lisp process around. This
is determined by the global variable cmulisp-buffer. Suppose you
have three inferior lisps running:
    Buffer	Process
    foo		cmulisp
    bar		cmulisp<2>
    *cmulisp*   cmulisp<3>
If you do a \\[lisp-eval-defun] command on some Lisp source code, 
what process do you send it to?

- If you're in a process buffer (foo, bar, or *cmulisp*), 
  you send it to that process.
- If you're in some other buffer (e.g., a source file), you
  send it to the process attached to buffer cmulisp-buffer.
This process selection is performed by function cmulisp-proc.

Whenever \\[cmulisp] fires up a new process, it resets cmulisp-buffer
to be the new process's buffer. If you only run one process, this will
do the right thing. If you run multiple processes, you can change
cmulisp-buffer to another process buffer with \\[set-variable].

More sophisticated approaches are, of course, possible. If you find yourself
needing to switch back and forth between multiple processes frequently,
you may wish to consider ilisp.el, a larger, more sophisticated package
for running inferior Lisp processes. The approach taken here is for a
minimal, simple implementation. Feel free to extend it.")

;;; CHANGE LOG
;;; ===========================================================================
;;; 5/24/90 Olin
;;; - 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.
;;; - Upgraded process sends to use comint-send-string instead of
;;;   process-send-string.
;;; - Explicit references to process "cmulisp" have been replaced with
;;;   (cmulisp-proc). This allows better handling of multiple process bufs.
;;; - Added process query and var/function/symbol documentation
;;;   commands. Based on code written by Douglas Roberts.
;;; - Added lisp-eval-last-sexp, bound to C-x C-e.
;;;
;;; 9/20/90 Olin
;;; Added a save-restriction to lisp-fn-called-at-pt. This bug and fix
;;; reported by Lennart Staflin.
;;;
;;; 3/12/90 Olin
;;; - lisp-load-file and lisp-compile-file no longer switch-to-lisp.
;;;   Tale suggested this.
;;; - Reversed this decision 7/15/91. You need the visual feedback.
;;;
;;; 7/25/91 Olin
;;; Changed all keybindings of the form C-c <letter>. These are
;;; supposed to be reserved for the user to bind. This affected
;;; mainly the compile/eval-defun/region[-and-go] commands.
;;; This was painful, but necessary to adhere to the gnumacs standard.
;;; For some backwards compatibility, see the 
;;;     cmulisp-install-letter-bindings
;;; function.
;;;
;;; 8/2/91 Olin
;;; - The lisp-compile/eval-defun/region commands now take a prefix arg,
;;;   which means switch-to-lisp after sending the text to the Lisp process.
;;;   This obsoletes all the -and-go commands. The -and-go commands are
;;;   kept around for historical reasons, and because the user can bind
;;;   them to key sequences shorter than C-u C-c C-<letter>.
;;; - If M-x cmulisp is invoked with a prefix arg, it allows you to
;;;   edit the command line.
