;; [MJM 10/94] Separating this from sml-mode means sml-mode will run
;; under 18.59 (or anywhere without comint, if there are such places).
;; See sml-mode.el for further information.

;;; Commentary:

;; Inferior-sml-mode is for interacting with an ML process run under
;; emacs. This uses the comint package so you get history, expansion,
;; backup and all the other benefits of comint. Interaction is
;; achieved by M-x run-sml which starts a sub-process under emacs. You may
;; need to set this up for autoloading in your .emacs:

;; (autoload 'run-sml "sml-proc" "Run an inferior ML process." t)

;; Exactly what process is governed by the variable sml-program-name
;; -- just "sml" by default. If you give a prefix argument (C-u M-x
;; run-sml) you will be prompted for a different program to execute from
;; the default -- if you just hit RETURN you get the default anyway --
;; along with the option to specify any command line arguments. Once
;; you select the ML program name in this manner, it remains the
;; default (unless you set in a hook, or otherwise).

;; NOTE: inferior-sml-mode-hook is run AFTER the ML program has been
;; launched. inferior-sml-load-hook is run only when sml-proc.el is
;; loaded into Emacs.

;; When running an ML process some further key-bindings are effective
;; in sml-mode buffer(s). C-c C-s (switch-to-sml) will split the
;; screen into two windows if necessary and place you in the ML
;; process buffer. In the interaction buffer, C-c C-s is bound to the
;; `sml' command by default (in case you need to restart).

;; C-c C-l (sml-load-file) will load an SML source file into the
;; inferior process, C-c C-r (sml-send-region) will send the current
;; region of text to the ML process, etc. Given a prefix argument to
;; these commands will switch you from the SML buffer to the ML
;; process buffer as well as sending the text. If you get errors
;; reported by the compiler, C-x ` (next-error) will step through
;; the errors with you.

;; NOTE. There is only limited support for this as it obviously
;; depends on the compiler's error messages being recognised by the
;; mode. Error reporting is currently only geared up for SML/NJ,
;; Moscow ML, and Poly/ML.  For other compilers, add the relevant
;; regexp to sml-error-regexp-alist and send it to me.

;; To send pieces of code to the underlying compiler, we never send the text
;; directly but use a temporary file instead.  This breaks if the compiler
;; does not understand `use', but has the benefit of allowing better error
;; reporting.

;; Bugs:

;; Todo:

;; - Keep improving `sml-compile'.
;; - ignore warnings (if requested) for next-error

MULTIPLE PROCESS SUPPORT (Whoever wants multi-process support anyway?)
=====================================================================
`sml-mode' supports, in a fairly simple fashion, running multiple ML
processes.  To run multiple ML processes, you start the first up with
\\[sml].  It will be in a buffer named *sml*.  Rename this buffer with
\\[rename-buffer].  You may now start up a new process with another
\\[sml].  It will be in a new buffer, named *sml*.  You can switch
between the different process buffers with \\[switch-to-buffer].

NB *sml* is just the default name for the buffer.  It actually gets
it's name from the value of `sml-program-name' -- *poly*, *smld*,...

If you have more than one ML process around, commands that send text
from source buffers to ML processes -- like `sml-send-function' or
`sml-send-region' -- have to choose a process to send it to.  This is
determined by the global variable `sml-buffer'.  Suppose you have three
inferior ML's running:
    Buffer      Process
    sml         #<process sml>
    mosml       #<process mosml>
    *sml*       #<process sml<2>>
If you do a \\[sml-send-function] command on some ML source code, 
what process do you send it to?

- If you're in a process buffer (sml, mosml, or *sml*), you send it to
  that process (usually makes sense only to `sml-load-file').
- If you're in some other buffer (e.g., a source file), you send it to
  the process attached to buffer `sml-buffer'.

This process selection is performed by function `sml-proc' which looks
at the value of `sml-buffer' -- which must be a Lisp buffer object, or
a string \(or nil\).

Whenever \\[sml] fires up a new process, it resets `sml-buffer' to be
the new process's buffer.  If you only run one process, this will do
the right thing.  If you run multiple processes, you can change
`sml-buffer' to another process buffer with \\[set-variable], or
use the command \\[sml-buffer] in the interaction buffer of choice.")

The following commands are available:

An ML process can be fired up (again) with \\[sml].

Customisation: Entry to this mode runs the hooks on `comint-mode-hook'
and `inferior-sml-mode-hook' (in that order).

Variables controlling behaviour of this mode are

`sml-program-name' (default \"sml\")
    Program to run as ML.

`sml-use-command' (default \"use \\\"%s\\\"\")
    Template for loading a file into the inferior ML process.

`sml-cd-command' (default \"System.Directory.cd \\\"%s\\\"\")
    ML command for changing directories in ML process (if possible).

`sml-prompt-regexp' (default \"^[\\-=] *\")
    Regexp used to recognise prompts in the inferior ML process.

You can send text to the inferior ML process from other buffers containing
ML source.
    `switch-to-sml' switches the current buffer to the ML process buffer.
    `sml-send-function' sends the current *paragraph* to the ML process.
    `sml-send-region' sends the current region to the ML process.

    Prefixing the sml-send-<whatever> commands with \\[universal-argument]
    causes a switch to the ML process buffer after sending the text.

For information on running multiple processes in multiple buffers, see
documentation for variable `sml-buffer'.

Commands:
RET after the end of the process' output sends the text from the
    end of process to point.
RET before the end of the process' output copies the current line
    to the end of the process' output, and sends it.
DEL converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
