35 ;; This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
36 ;; (comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
37 ;; modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
38 ;; This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality,
39 ;; and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
40 ;; saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).
42 ;; Several packages are already defined using comint mode:
43 ;; - shell.el defines a shell-in-a-buffer mode.
44 ;; - cmulisp.el defines a simple lisp-in-a-buffer mode.
45 ;;
46 ;; - The file cmuscheme.el defines a scheme-in-a-buffer mode.
47 ;; - The file tea.el tunes scheme and inferior-scheme modes for T.
48 ;; - The file soar.el tunes lisp and inferior-lisp modes for Soar.
49 ;; - cmutex.el defines tex and latex modes that invoke tex, latex, bibtex,
50 ;; previewers, and printers from within emacs.
51 ;; - background.el allows csh-like job control inside emacs.
52 ;; It is pretty easy to make new derived modes for other processes.
54 ;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
55 ;; the hooks available for customising it, see the comments below.
56 ;; For further information on the standard derived modes (shell,
57 ;; inferior-lisp, inferior-scheme, ...), see the relevant source files.
59 ;; For hints on converting existing process modes (e.g., tex-mode,
60 ;; background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog, telnet) to use comint-mode
61 ;; instead of shell-mode, see the notes at the end of this file.

447 This mode is customised to create major modes such as Inferior Lisp
448 mode, Shell mode, etc. This can be done by setting the hooks
449 `comint-input-filter-functions', `comint-input-filter', `comint-input-sender'
450 and `comint-get-old-input' to appropriate functions, and the variable
451 `comint-prompt-regexp' to the appropriate regular expression.

2930 ;; This little add-on for comint is intended to make it easy to get
2931 ;; output from currently active comint buffers into another buffer,
2932 ;; or buffers, and then go back to using the comint shell.
2933 ;;
2934 ;; My particular use is SQL interpreters; I want to be able to execute a
2935 ;; query using the process associated with a comint-buffer, and save that
2936 ;; somewhere else. Because the process might have state (for example, it
2937 ;; could be in an uncommitted transaction), just running starting a new
2938 ;; process and having it execute the query and then finish, would not
2939 ;; work. I'm sure there are other uses as well, although in many cases
2940 ;; starting a new process is the simpler, and thus preferable, approach.
2941 ;;
2942 ;; The basic implementation is as follows: comint-redirect changes the
2943 ;; preoutput filter functions (comint-preoutput-filter-functions) to use
2944 ;; its own filter. The filter puts the output into the designated buffer,
2945 ;; or buffers, until it sees a regexp that tells it to stop (by default,
2946 ;; this is the prompt for the interpreter, comint-prompt-regexp). When it
2947 ;; sees the stop regexp, it restores the old filter functions, and runs
2948 ;; comint-redirect-hook.
2949 ;;
2950 ;; Each comint buffer may only use one redirection at a time, but any number
2951 ;; of different comint buffers may be simultaneously redirected.
2952 ;;
2953 ;; NOTE: It is EXTREMELY important that `comint-prompt-regexp' be set to the
2954 ;; correct prompt for your interpreter, or that you supply a regexp that says
2955 ;; when the redirection is finished. Otherwise, redirection will continue
2956 ;; indefinitely. The code now does a sanity check to ensure that it can find
2957 ;; a prompt in the comint buffer; however, it is still important to ensure that
2958 ;; this prompt is set correctly.
2959 ;;
2960 ;; XXX: This doesn't work so well unless comint-prompt-regexp is set;
2961 ;; perhaps it should prompt for a terminating string (with an
2962 ;; appropriate magic default by examining what we think is the prompt)?

3322 ;; SHELL-SET-DIRECTORY is gone, its functionality taken over by
3323 ;; SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER, the shell mode's comint-input-filter-functions.
3324 ;; Comint mode does not provide functionality equivalent to
3325 ;; shell-set-directory-error-hook; it is gone.
3326 ;;
3327 ;; comint-last-input-start is provided for modes which want to munge
3328 ;; the buffer after input is sent, perhaps because the inferior
3329 ;; insists on echoing the input. The LAST-INPUT-START variable in
3330 ;; the old shell package was used to implement a history mechanism,
3331 ;; but you should think twice before using comint-last-input-start
3332 ;; for this; the input history ring often does the job better.
3333 ;;
3334 ;; If you are implementing some process-in-a-buffer mode, called foo-mode, do
3335 ;; *not* create the comint-mode local variables in your foo-mode function.
3336 ;; This is not modular. Instead, call comint-mode, and let *it* create the
3337 ;; necessary comint-specific local variables. Then create the
3338 ;; foo-mode-specific local variables in foo-mode. Set the buffer's keymap to
3339 ;; be foo-mode-map, and its mode to be foo-mode. Set the comint-mode hooks
3340 ;; (comint-{prompt-regexp, input-filter, input-filter-functions,
3341 ;; get-old-input) that need to be different from the defaults. Call
3342 ;; foo-mode-hook, and you're done. Don't run the comint-mode hook yourself;
3343 ;; comint-mode will take care of it. The following example, from shell.el,
3344 ;; is typical:
3345 ;;
3346 ;; (defvar shell-mode-map '())
3347 ;; (cond ((not shell-mode-map)
3348 ;; (setq shell-mode-map (copy-keymap comint-mode-map))

3368 ;; Completion for comint-mode users
3369 ;;
3370 ;; For modes that use comint-mode, comint-dynamic-complete-functions is the
3371 ;; hook to add completion functions to. Functions on this list should return
3372 ;; non-nil if completion occurs (i.e., further completion should not occur).
3373 ;; You could use comint-dynamic-simple-complete to do the bulk of the
3374 ;; completion job.
