annotate lisp/progmodes/inf-lisp.el @ 69478:e8bb5df2ba7a

Add index entries around each paragraph rather than depend on entries from beginning of node. Doing so ensures that index entries are less likely to be forgotten if text is cut and pasted, and are necessary anyway if the references are on a separate page. It seems that makeinfo is now (v. 4.8) only producing one index entry per node, so there is no longer any excuse not to. Use subheading instead of heading. The incorrect use of heading produced very large fonts in Info--as large as the main heading. (From Bill Wohler): MH-E never did appear in Emacs 21--MH-E versions 6 and 7 appeared *around* the time of these Emacs releases.

;;; Commentary:

;; Hacked from tea.el by Olin Shivers ([e-mail]). 8/88

;; This file defines a lisp-in-a-buffer package (inferior-lisp mode)
;; built on top of comint mode.  This version is more featureful,
;; robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 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 inferior-lisp 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 inferior-lisp (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?

MULTIPLE PROCESS SUPPORT
===========================================================================
To run multiple Lisp processes, you start the first up
with \\[inferior-lisp].  It will be in a buffer named `*inferior-lisp*'.
Rename this buffer with \\[rename-buffer].  You may now start up a new
process with another \\[inferior-lisp].  It will be in a new buffer,
named `*inferior-lisp*'.  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 `inferior-lisp-buffer'.  Suppose you
have three inferior Lisps running:
    Buffer              Process
    foo                 inferior-lisp
    bar                 inferior-lisp<2>
    *inferior-lisp*     inferior-lisp<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 *inferior-lisp*),
  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 `inferior-lisp-buffer'.
This process selection is performed by function `inferior-lisp-proc'.

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

  "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', `inferior-lisp-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 `inferior-lisp-buffer'.

\\{inferior-lisp-mode-map}

Customisation: Entry to this mode runs the hooks on `comint-mode-hook' and
`inferior-lisp-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.

;;; CHANGE LOG
;;; ===========================================================================
;;; 7/21/92 Jim Blandy
;;; - Changed all uses of the cmulisp name or prefix to inferior-lisp;
;;;   this is now the official inferior lisp package.  Use the global
;;;   ChangeLog from now on.
;;; 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.
