25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; Hacked from tea.el by Olin Shivers (shivers@cs.cmu.edu). 8/88
29 ;; This file defines a a lisp-in-a-buffer package (inferior-lisp
30 ;; mode) built on top of comint mode. This version is more
31 ;; featureful, robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 version. The
32 ;; key bindings are also more compatible with the bindings of Hemlock
33 ;; and Zwei (the Lisp Machine emacs).
35 ;; Since this mode is built on top of the general command-interpreter-in-
36 ;; a-buffer mode (comint mode), it shares a common base functionality,
37 ;; and a common set of bindings, with all modes derived from comint mode.
38 ;; This makes these modes easier to use.
40 ;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
41 ;; the hooks available for customising it, see the file comint.el.
42 ;; For further information on inferior-lisp mode, see the comments below.
44 ;; Needs fixin:
45 ;; The load-file/compile-file default mechanism could be smarter -- it
46 ;; doesn't know about the relationship between filename extensions and
47 ;; whether the file is source or executable. If you compile foo.lisp
48 ;; with compile-file, then the next load-file should use foo.bin for
49 ;; the default, not foo.lisp. This is tricky to do right, particularly
50 ;; because the extension for executable files varies so much (.o, .bin,
51 ;; .lbin, .mo, .vo, .ao, ...).
53 ;; It would be nice if inferior-lisp (and inferior scheme, T, ...) modes
54 ;; had a verbose minor mode wherein sending or compiling defuns, etc.
55 ;; would be reflected in the transcript with suitable comments, e.g.
56 ;; ";;; redefining fact". Several ways to do this. Which is right?
58 ;; When sending text from a source file to a subprocess, the process-mark can
59 ;; move off the window, so you can lose sight of the process interactions.
60 ;; Maybe I should ensure the process mark is in the window when I send
61 ;; text to the process? Switch selectable?

172 MULTIPLE PROCESS SUPPORT
173 ===========================================================================
174 To run multiple Lisp processes, you start the first up
175 with \\[inferior-lisp]. It will be in a buffer named `*inferior-lisp*'.
176 Rename this buffer with \\[rename-buffer]. You may now start up a new
177 process with another \\[inferior-lisp]. It will be in a new buffer,
178 named `*inferior-lisp*'. You can switch between the different process
179 buffers with \\[switch-to-buffer].
181 Commands that send text from source buffers to Lisp processes --
182 like `lisp-eval-defun' or `lisp-show-arglist' -- have to choose a process
183 to send to, when you have more than one Lisp process around. This
184 is determined by the global variable `inferior-lisp-buffer'. Suppose you
185 have three inferior Lisps running:
186 Buffer Process
187 foo inferior-lisp
188 bar inferior-lisp<2>
189 *inferior-lisp* inferior-lisp<3>
190 If you do a \\[lisp-eval-defun] command on some Lisp source code,
191 what process do you send it to?
193 - If you're in a process buffer (foo, bar, or *inferior-lisp*),
194 you send it to that process.
195 - If you're in some other buffer (e.g., a source file), you
196 send it to the process attached to buffer `inferior-lisp-buffer'.
197 This process selection is performed by function `inferior-lisp-proc'.
199 Whenever \\[inferior-lisp] fires up a new process, it resets
200 `inferior-lisp-buffer' to be the new process's buffer. If you only run
201 one process, this does the right thing. If you run multiple
202 processes, you can change `inferior-lisp-buffer' to another process
203 buffer with \\[set-variable].")

215 is run. Variables `inferior-lisp-prompt', `inferior-lisp-filter-regexp' and
216 `inferior-lisp-load-command' can customize this mode for different Lisp

227 You can send text to the inferior Lisp process from other buffers containing
228 Lisp source.
229 switch-to-lisp switches the current buffer to the Lisp process buffer.
230 lisp-eval-defun sends the current defun to the Lisp process.
231 lisp-compile-defun compiles the current defun.
232 lisp-eval-region sends the current region to the Lisp process.
233 lisp-compile-region compiles the current region.
235 Prefixing the lisp-eval/compile-defun/region commands with
236 a \\[universal-argument] causes a switch to the Lisp process buffer after sending
237 the text.
239 Commands:
240 Return after the end of the process' output sends the text from the
241 end of process to point.
242 Return before the end of the process' output copies the sexp ending at point
243 to the end of the process' output, and sends it.
244 Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
245 Tab indents for Lisp; with argument, shifts rest
246 of expression rigidly with the current line.
247 C-M-q does Tab on each line starting within following expression.

584 ;;; CHANGE LOG
585 ;;; ===========================================================================
586 ;;; 7/21/92 Jim Blandy
587 ;;; - Changed all uses of the cmulisp name or prefix to inferior-lisp;
588 ;;; this is now the official inferior lisp package. Use the global
589 ;;; ChangeLog from now on.
590 ;;; 5/24/90 Olin
591 ;;; - Split cmulisp and cmushell modes into separate files.
592 ;;; Not only is this a good idea, it's apparently the way it'll be rel 19.
593 ;;; - Upgraded process sends to use comint-send-string instead of
594 ;;; process-send-string.
595 ;;; - Explicit references to process "cmulisp" have been replaced with
596 ;;; (cmulisp-proc). This allows better handling of multiple process bufs.
597 ;;; - Added process query and var/function/symbol documentation
598 ;;; commands. Based on code written by Douglas Roberts.
599 ;;; - Added lisp-eval-last-sexp, bound to C-x C-e.
601 ;;; 9/20/90 Olin
602 ;;; Added a save-restriction to lisp-fn-called-at-pt. This bug and fix
603 ;;; reported by Lennart Staflin.
605 ;;; 3/12/90 Olin
606 ;;; - lisp-load-file and lisp-compile-file no longer switch-to-lisp.
607 ;;; Tale suggested this.
608 ;;; - Reversed this decision 7/15/91. You need the visual feedback.
610 ;;; 7/25/91 Olin
611 ;;; Changed all keybindings of the form C-c <letter>. These are
612 ;;; supposed to be reserved for the user to bind. This affected
613 ;;; mainly the compile/eval-defun/region[-and-go] commands.
614 ;;; This was painful, but necessary to adhere to the gnumacs standard.
615 ;;; For some backwards compatibility, see the
616 ;;; cmulisp-install-letter-bindings
617 ;;; function.
619 ;;; 8/2/91 Olin
620 ;;; - The lisp-compile/eval-defun/region commands now take a prefix arg,
621 ;;; which means switch-to-lisp after sending the text to the Lisp process.
622 ;;; This obsoletes all the -and-go commands. The -and-go commands are
623 ;;; kept around for historical reasons, and because the user can bind
624 ;;; them to key sequences shorter than C-u C-c C-<letter>.
625 ;;; - If M-x cmulisp is invoked with a prefix arg, it allows you to
626 ;;; edit the command line.
628 (provide 'inf-lisp)
630 ;;; inf-lisp.el ends here
