Emacs ===== == SML modes == There are a few Emacs modes for SML. * `sml-mode` ** http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packages/html/sml-mode_3.html ** http://www.smlnj.org/doc/Emacs/sml-mode.html ** http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/%7Emonnier/elisp/ * contains the Emacs lisp that <:StephenWeeks:> uses to interact with MLton (in addition to using `sml-mode`). * http://primate.net/%7Eitz/mindent.tar, developed by Ian Zimmerman, who writes: + _____ Unlike the widespread `sml-mode.el` it doesn't try to indent code based on ML syntax. I gradually got skeptical about this approach after writing the initial indentation support for caml mode and watching it bloat insanely as the language added new features. Also, any such attempts that I know of impose a particular coding style, or at best a choice among a limited set of styles, which I now oppose. Instead my mode is based on a generic package which provides manual bindable commands for common indentation operations (example: indent the current line under the n-th occurrence of a particular character in the previous non-blank line). _____ == MLB modes == There is a mode for editing <:MLBasis: ML Basis> files. * (plus other files) == Definitions and uses == There is a mode that supports the precise def-use information that MLton can output. It highlights definitions and uses and provides commands for navigation (e.g., `jump-to-def`, `jump-to-next`, `list-all-refs`). It can be handy, for example, for navigating in the MLton compiler source code. See <:EmacsDefUseMode:> for further information. == Building on the background == Tired of manually starting/stopping/restarting builds after editing files? Now you don't have to. See <:EmacsBgBuildMode:> for further information. == Error messages == MLton's error messages are not among those that the Emacs `next-error` parser natively understands. The easiest way to fix this is to add the following to your `.emacs` to teach Emacs to recognize MLton's error messages. [source,cl] ---- (require 'compile) (add-to-list 'compilation-error-regexp-alist 'mlton) (add-to-list 'compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist '(mlton "^[[:space:]]*\\(\\(?:\\(Error\\)\\|\\(Warning\\)\\|\\(\\(?:\\(?:defn\\|spec\\) at\\)\\|\\(?:escape \\(?:from\\|to\\)\\)\\|\\(?:scoped at\\)\\)\\): \\(.+\\) \\([0-9]+\\)\\.\\([0-9]+\\)\\(?:-\\([0-9]+\\)\\.\\([0-9]+\\)\\)?\\.?\\)$" 5 (6 . 8) (7 . 9) (3 . 4) 1)) ----
