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.

463 and `comint-get-old-input' to appropriate functions, and the variable
464 `comint-prompt-regexp' to the appropriate regular expression.

2294 ;; Support for source-file processing commands.
2295 ;;============================================================================
2296 ;; Many command-interpreters (e.g., Lisp, Scheme, Soar) have
2297 ;; commands that process files of source text (e.g. loading or compiling
2298 ;; files). So the corresponding process-in-a-buffer modes have commands
2299 ;; for doing this (e.g., lisp-load-file). The functions below are useful
2300 ;; for defining these commands.
2301 ;;
2302 ;; Alas, these guys don't do exactly the right thing for Lisp, Scheme
2303 ;; and Soar, in that they don't know anything about file extensions.
2304 ;; So the compile/load interface gets the wrong default occasionally.
2305 ;; The load-file/compile-file default mechanism could be smarter -- it
2306 ;; doesn't know about the relationship between filename extensions and
2307 ;; whether the file is source or executable. If you compile foo.lisp
2308 ;; with compile-file, then the next load-file should use foo.bin for
2309 ;; the default, not foo.lisp. This is tricky to do right, particularly
2310 ;; because the extension for executable files varies so much (.o, .bin,
2311 ;; .lbin, .mo, .vo, .ao, ...).
2314 ;; COMINT-SOURCE-DEFAULT -- determines defaults for source-file processing
2315 ;; commands.
2316 ;;
2317 ;; COMINT-CHECK-SOURCE -- if FNAME is in a modified buffer, asks you if you
2318 ;; want to save the buffer before issuing any process requests to the command
2319 ;; interpreter.

2329 ;; - PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is a pair (directory . filename) from the last
2330 ;; source-file processing command. nil if there hasn't been one yet.
2331 ;; - SOURCE-MODES is a list used to determine what buffers contain source
2332 ;; files: if the major mode of the buffer is in SOURCE-MODES, it's source.
2333 ;; Typically, (lisp-mode) or (scheme-mode).
2334 ;;
2335 ;; If the command is given while the cursor is inside a string, *and*
2336 ;; the string is an existing filename, *and* the filename is not a directory,
2337 ;; then the string is taken as default. This allows you to just position
2338 ;; your cursor over a string that's a filename and have it taken as default.
2339 ;;
2340 ;; If the command is given in a file buffer whose major mode is in
2341 ;; SOURCE-MODES, then the filename is the default file, and the
2342 ;; file's directory is the default directory.
2343 ;;
2344 ;; If the buffer isn't a source file buffer (e.g., it's the process buffer),
2345 ;; then the default directory & file are what was used in the last source-file
2346 ;; processing command (i.e., PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE). If this is the first time
2347 ;; the command has been run (PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is nil), the default directory
2348 ;; is the cwd, with no default file. (\"no default file\" = nil)
2349 ;;
2350 ;; SOURCE-REGEXP is typically going to be something like (tea-mode)
2351 ;; for T programs, (lisp-mode) for Lisp programs, (soar-mode lisp-mode)

2922 ;; This little add-on for comint is intended to make it easy to get
2923 ;; output from currently active comint buffers into another buffer,
2924 ;; or buffers, and then go back to using the comint shell.
2925 ;;
2926 ;; My particular use is SQL interpreters; I want to be able to execute a
2927 ;; query using the process associated with a comint-buffer, and save that
2928 ;; somewhere else. Because the process might have state (for example, it
2929 ;; could be in an uncommitted transaction), just running starting a new
2930 ;; process and having it execute the query and then finish, would not
2931 ;; work. I'm sure there are other uses as well, although in many cases
2932 ;; starting a new process is the simpler, and thus preferable, approach.
2933 ;;
2934 ;; The basic implementation is as follows: comint-redirect changes the
2935 ;; preoutput filter functions (comint-preoutput-filter-functions) to use
2936 ;; its own filter. The filter puts the output into the designated buffer,
2937 ;; or buffers, until it sees a regexp that tells it to stop (by default,
2938 ;; this is the prompt for the interpreter, comint-prompt-regexp). When it
2939 ;; sees the stop regexp, it restores the old filter functions, and runs
2940 ;; comint-redirect-hook.
2941 ;;
2942 ;; Each comint buffer may only use one redirection at a time, but any number
2943 ;; of different comint buffers may be simultaneously redirected.
2944 ;;
2945 ;; NOTE: It is EXTREMELY important that `comint-prompt-regexp' be set to the
2946 ;; correct prompt for your interpreter, or that you supply a regexp that says
2947 ;; when the redirection is finished. Otherwise, redirection will continue
2948 ;; indefinitely. The code now does a sanity check to ensure that it can find
2949 ;; a prompt in the comint buffer; however, it is still important to ensure that
2950 ;; this prompt is set correctly.
2951 ;;
2952 ;; XXX: This doesn't work so well unless comint-prompt-regexp is set;
2953 ;; perhaps it should prompt for a terminating string (with an
2954 ;; appropriate magic default by examining what we think is the prompt)?

3315 ;; SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER, the shell mode's comint-input-filter-functions.

3317 ;; shell-set-directory-error-hook; it is gone.
3318 ;;
3319 ;; comint-last-input-start is provided for modes which want to munge
3320 ;; the buffer after input is sent, perhaps because the inferior
3321 ;; insists on echoing the input. The LAST-INPUT-START variable in
3322 ;; the old shell package was used to implement a history mechanism,
3323 ;; but you should think twice before using comint-last-input-start
3324 ;; for this; the input history ring often does the job better.
3325 ;;
3326 ;; If you are implementing some process-in-a-buffer mode, called foo-mode, do
3327 ;; *not* create the comint-mode local variables in your foo-mode function.
3328 ;; This is not modular. Instead, call comint-mode, and let *it* create the
3329 ;; necessary comint-specific local variables. Then create the
3330 ;; foo-mode-specific local variables in foo-mode. Set the buffer's keymap to
3331 ;; be foo-mode-map, and its mode to be foo-mode. Set the comint-mode hooks
3332 ;; (comint-{prompt-regexp, input-filter, input-filter-functions,
3333 ;; get-old-input) that need to be different from the defaults. Call
3334 ;; foo-mode-hook, and you're done. Don't run the comint-mode hook yourself;
3335 ;; comint-mode will take care of it. The following example, from shell.el,
3336 ;; is typical:
3337 ;;
3338 ;; (defvar shell-mode-map '())

3364 ;; non-nil if completion occurs (i.e., further completion should not occur).
3365 ;; You could use comint-dynamic-simple-complete to do the bulk of the
