;;; 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.).

;;; 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 to use comint-mode
;;; instead of shell-mode, see the notes at the end of this file.

  "Send input to process, followed by a linefeed or optional TERMINATOR.
After the process output mark, sends all text from the process mark to
end of buffer as input to the process.  Before the process output mark, calls
value of variable comint-get-old-input to retrieve old input, replaces it in
the input region (from the end of process output to the end of the buffer) and
then sends it.  In either case, the value of variable comint-input-sentinel is
called on the input before sending it.  The input is entered into the input
history ring, if value of variable comint-input-filter returns non-nil when
called on the input.

If optional second argument DELETE is non-nil, then the input is deleted from
the end of the buffer.  This is useful if the process unconditionally echoes
input.  Processes which use TERMINATOR or DELETE should have a command wrapper
which provides them bound to RET; see telnet.el for an example.

comint-get-old-input, comint-input-sentinel, and comint-input-filter are chosen
according to the command interpreter running in the buffer.  For example,

If the interpreter is the csh,
 comint-get-old-input defaults:  takes the current line, discard any
   initial string matching regexp comint-prompt-regexp.
 comint-input-sentinel:  monitors input for \"cd\", \"pushd\", and \"popd\" 
   commands.  When it sees one, it changes the default directory of the buffer.
 comint-input-filter defaults:  returns t if the input isn't all whitespace.

If the comint is Lucid Common Lisp, 
 comint-get-old-input:  snarfs the sexp ending at point.
 comint-input-sentinel:  does nothing.
 comint-input-filter:  returns nil if the input matches input-filter-regexp,
        which matches (1) all whitespace (2) :a, :c, etc.

;;; 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, lisp, and scheme 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).

;;; (COMINT-GET-SOURCE prompt prev-dir/file source-modes mustmatch-p)
;;;============================================================================
;;; COMINT-GET-SOURCE is used to prompt for filenames in command-interpreter
;;; commands that process source files (like loading or compiling a 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.
;;; 
;;; A typical use:
;;; (interactive (comint-get-source "Compile file: " prev-lisp-dir/file
;;;                                 '(lisp-mode) t))

;;; LAST-INPUT-START is no longer necessary because inputs are stored on the

;;; 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. 
;;;
;;; 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...
