28;;; Commentary:
29
30;; This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
31;; (comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
32;; modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., Lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
33;; This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality,
34;; and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
35;; saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).
36
37;; Several packages are already defined using comint mode:
38;; - shell.el defines a shell-in-a-buffer mode.
39;; - cmulisp.el defines a simple lisp-in-a-buffer mode.
40;;
41;; - The file cmuscheme.el defines a scheme-in-a-buffer mode.
42;; - The file tea.el tunes scheme and inferior-scheme modes for T.
43;; - The file soar.el tunes Lisp and inferior-lisp modes for Soar.
44;; - cmutex.el defines TeX and LaTeX modes that invoke TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX,
45;; previewers, and printers from within Emacs.
46;; - background.el allows csh-like job control inside Emacs.
47;; It is pretty easy to make new derived modes for other processes.
48
49;; For documentation on the functionality provided by Comint mode, and
50;; the hooks available for customising it, see the comments below.
51;; For further information on the standard derived modes (shell,
52;; inferior-lisp, inferior-scheme, ...), see the relevant source files.
53
54;; For hints on converting existing process modes (e.g., tex-mode,
55;; background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog, telnet) to use comint-mode
56;; instead of shell-mode, see the notes at the end of this file.

583Setting variable `comint-eol-on-send' means jump to the end of the line

585
586This mode is customized to create major modes such as Inferior Lisp

593can be accessed with the commands \\[comint-next-input], \\[comint-previous-input], and \\[comint-dynamic-list-input-ring].
594Input ring history expansion can be achieved with the commands
595\\[comint-replace-by-expanded-history] or \\[comint-magic-space].
596Input ring expansion is controlled by the variable `comint-input-autoexpand',
597and addition is controlled by the variable `comint-input-ignoredups'.

600`comint-dynamic-complete', `comint-dynamic-list-filename-completions', and
601`comint-magic-space'.

1403value of variable `comint-get-old-input' to retrieve old input, copies
1404it to the process mark, and sends it.
1405
1406This command also sends and inserts a final newline, unless
1407NO-NEWLINE is non-nil.
1408
1409Any history reference may be expanded depending on the value of the variable
1410`comint-input-autoexpand'. The list of function names contained in the value
1411of `comint-input-filter-functions' is called on the input before sending it.
1412The input is entered into the input history ring, if the value of variable
1413`comint-input-filter' returns non-nil when called on the input.
1414
1415If variable `comint-eol-on-send' is non-nil, then point is moved to the
1416end of line before sending the input.
1417
1418After the input has been sent, if `comint-process-echoes' is non-nil,
1419then `comint-send-input' waits to see if the process outputs a string
1420matching the input, and if so, deletes that part of the output.
1421If ARTIFICIAL is non-nil, it inhibits such deletion.
1422Callers sending input not from the user should use ARTIFICIAL = t.
1423
1424The values of `comint-get-old-input', `comint-input-filter-functions', and
1425`comint-input-filter' are chosen according to the command interpreter running
1426in the buffer. E.g.,
1427
1428If the interpreter is the csh,
1429 `comint-get-old-input' is the default:
1430 If `comint-use-prompt-regexp' is nil, then
1431 either return the current input field, if point is on an input
1432 field, or the current line, if point is on an output field.
1433 If `comint-use-prompt-regexp' is non-nil, then
1434 return the current line with any initial string matching the
1435 regexp `comint-prompt-regexp' removed.
1436 `comint-input-filter-functions' monitors input for \"cd\", \"pushd\", and
1437 \"popd\" commands. When it sees one, it cd's the buffer.
1438 comint-input-filter is the default: returns t if the input isn't all white
1439 space.
1440
1441If the Comint is Lucid Common Lisp,
1442 comint-get-old-input snarfs the sexp ending at point.
1443 comint-input-filter-functions does nothing.
1444 comint-input-filter returns nil if the input matches input-filter-regexp,

2358;; Support for source-file processing commands.
2359;;============================================================================
2360;; Many command-interpreters (e.g., Lisp, Scheme, Soar) have
2361;; commands that process files of source text (e.g. loading or compiling
2362;; files). So the corresponding process-in-a-buffer modes have commands
2363;; for doing this (e.g., lisp-load-file). The functions below are useful
2364;; for defining these commands.
2365;;
2366;; Alas, these guys don't do exactly the right thing for Lisp, Scheme
2367;; and Soar, in that they don't know anything about file extensions.
2368;; So the compile/load interface gets the wrong default occasionally.
2369;; The load-file/compile-file default mechanism could be smarter -- it
2370;; doesn't know about the relationship between filename extensions and
2371;; whether the file is source or executable. If you compile foo.lisp
2372;; with compile-file, then the next load-file should use foo.bin for
2373;; the default, not foo.lisp. This is tricky to do right, particularly
2374;; because the extension for executable files varies so much (.o, .bin,
2375;; .lbin, .mo, .vo, .ao, ...).
2376
2377
2378;; COMINT-SOURCE-DEFAULT -- determines defaults for source-file processing
2379;; commands.
2380;;
2381;; COMINT-CHECK-SOURCE -- if FNAME is in a modified buffer, asks you if you
2382;; want to save the buffer before issuing any process requests to the command
2383;; interpreter.
2384;;
2385;; COMINT-GET-SOURCE -- used by the source-file processing commands to prompt
2386;; for the file to process.

2391PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is a pair (directory . filename) from the last
2392source-file processing command, or nil if there hasn't been one yet.
2393SOURCE-MODES is a list used to determine what buffers contain source
2394files: if the major mode of the buffer is in SOURCE-MODES, it's source.
2395Typically, (lisp-mode) or (scheme-mode).
2396
2397If the command is given while the cursor is inside a string, *and*
2398the string is an existing filename, *and* the filename is not a directory,
2399then the string is taken as default. This allows you to just position
2400your cursor over a string that's a filename and have it taken as default.
2401
2402If the command is given in a file buffer whose major mode is in
2403SOURCE-MODES, then the filename is the default file, and the
2404file's directory is the default directory.
2405
2406If the buffer isn't a source file buffer (e.g., it's the process buffer),
2407then the default directory & file are what was used in the last source-file
2408processing command (i.e., PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE). If this is the first time
2409the command has been run (PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is nil), the default directory
2410is the cwd, with no default file. (\"no default file\" = nil)
2411
2412SOURCE-REGEXP is typically going to be something like (tea-mode)
2413for T programs, (lisp-mode) for Lisp programs, (soar-mode lisp-mode)

3001
3002;; This little add-on for comint is intended to make it easy to get
3003;; output from currently active comint buffers into another buffer,
3004;; or buffers, and then go back to using the comint shell.
3005;;
3006;; My particular use is SQL interpreters; I want to be able to execute a
3007;; query using the process associated with a comint-buffer, and save that
3008;; somewhere else. Because the process might have state (for example, it
3009;; could be in an uncommitted transaction), just running starting a new
3010;; process and having it execute the query and then finish, would not
3011;; work. I'm sure there are other uses as well, although in many cases
3012;; starting a new process is the simpler, and thus preferable, approach.
3013;;
3014;; The basic implementation is as follows: comint-redirect changes the
3015;; preoutput filter functions (`comint-preoutput-filter-functions') to use
3016;; its own filter. The filter puts the output into the designated buffer,
3017;; or buffers, until it sees a regexp that tells it to stop (by default,
3018;; this is the prompt for the interpreter, `comint-prompt-regexp'). When it
3019;; sees the stop regexp, it restores the old filter functions, and runs
3020;; `comint-redirect-hook'.
3021;;
3022;; Each comint buffer may only use one redirection at a time, but any number
3023;; of different comint buffers may be simultaneously redirected.
3024;;
3025;; NOTE: It is EXTREMELY important that `comint-prompt-regexp' be set to the
3026;; correct prompt for your interpreter, or that you supply a regexp that says
3027;; when the redirection is finished. Otherwise, redirection will continue
3028;; indefinitely. The code now does a sanity check to ensure that it can find
3029;; a prompt in the comint buffer; however, it is still important to ensure that
3030;; this prompt is set correctly.
3031;;
3032;; XXX: This doesn't work so well unless `comint-prompt-regexp' is set;
3033;; perhaps it should prompt for a terminating string (with an
3034;; appropriate magic default by examining what we think is the prompt)?
3035;;
3036;; Fixme: look for appropriate fields, rather than regexp, if
3037;; `comint-use-prompt-regexp' is true.

3372;; Converting process modes to use comint mode
3373;; ===========================================================================
3374;; The code in the Emacs 19 distribution has all been modified to use comint
3375;; where needed. However, there are `third-party' packages out there that
3376;; still use the old shell mode. Here's a guide to conversion.
3377;;
3378;; Renaming variables
3379;; Most of the work is renaming variables and functions. These are the common
3380;; ones:
3381;; Local variables:
3382;; last-input-start comint-last-input-start
3383;; last-input-end comint-last-input-end
3384;; shell-prompt-pattern comint-prompt-regexp
3385;; shell-set-directory-error-hook <no equivalent>
3386;; Miscellaneous:
3387;; shell-set-directory <unnecessary>
3388;; shell-mode-map comint-mode-map
3389;; Commands:
3390;; shell-send-input comint-send-input
3391;; shell-send-eof comint-delchar-or-maybe-eof
3392;; kill-shell-input comint-kill-input
3393;; interrupt-shell-subjob comint-interrupt-subjob
3394;; stop-shell-subjob comint-stop-subjob
3395;; quit-shell-subjob comint-quit-subjob
3396;; kill-shell-subjob comint-kill-subjob
3397;; kill-output-from-shell comint-delete-output
3398;; show-output-from-shell comint-show-output
3399;; copy-last-shell-input Use comint-previous-input/comint-next-input
3400;;
3401;; SHELL-SET-DIRECTORY is gone, its functionality taken over by
3402;; SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER, the shell mode's comint-input-filter-functions.
3403;; Comint mode does not provide functionality equivalent to
3404;; shell-set-directory-error-hook; it is gone.
3405;;
3406;; comint-last-input-start is provided for modes which want to munge
3407;; the buffer after input is sent, perhaps because the inferior
3408;; insists on echoing the input. The LAST-INPUT-START variable in
3409;; the old shell package was used to implement a history mechanism,
3410;; but you should think twice before using comint-last-input-start
3411;; for this; the input history ring often does the job better.
3412;;
3413;; If you are implementing some process-in-a-buffer mode, called foo-mode, do
3414;; *not* create the comint-mode local variables in your foo-mode function.
3415;; This is not modular. Instead, call comint-mode, and let *it* create the
3416;; necessary comint-specific local variables. Then create the
3417;; foo-mode-specific local variables in foo-mode. Set the buffer's keymap to
3418;; be foo-mode-map, and its mode to be foo-mode. Set the comint-mode hooks
3419;; (comint-{prompt-regexp, input-filter, input-filter-functions,
3420;; get-old-input) that need to be different from the defaults. Call
3421;; foo-mode-hook, and you're done. Don't run the comint-mode hook yourself;
3422;; comint-mode will take care of it. The following example, from shell.el,
3423;; is typical:
3424;;
3425;; (defvar shell-mode-map '())
3426;; (cond ((not shell-mode-map)
3427;; (setq shell-mode-map (copy-keymap comint-mode-map))
3428;; (define-key shell-mode-map "\C-c\C-f" 'shell-forward-command)
3429;; (define-key shell-mode-map "\C-c\C-b" 'shell-backward-command)
3430;; (define-key shell-mode-map "\t" 'comint-dynamic-complete)
3431;; (define-key shell-mode-map "\M-?"
3432;; 'comint-dynamic-list-filename-completions)))
3433;;
3434;; (defun shell-mode ()
3435;; (interactive)
3436;; (comint-mode)
3437;; (setq comint-prompt-regexp shell-prompt-pattern)
3438;; (setq major-mode 'shell-mode)
3439;; (setq mode-name "Shell")
3440;; (use-local-map shell-mode-map)
3441;; (make-local-variable 'shell-directory-stack)
3442;; (setq shell-directory-stack nil)
3443;; (add-hook 'comint-input-filter-functions 'shell-directory-tracker)
3444;; (run-mode-hooks 'shell-mode-hook))
3445;;
3446;;
3447;; Completion for comint-mode users
3448;;
3449;; For modes that use comint-mode, comint-dynamic-complete-functions is the
3450;; hook to add completion functions to. Functions on this list should return
3451;; non-nil if completion occurs (i.e., further completion should not occur).
3452;; You could use comint-dynamic-simple-complete to do the bulk of the
3453;; completion job.
