;; [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.")

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

Customisation: Entry to this mode runs the hooks on `comint-mode-hook'

Variables controlling behaviour of this mode are

    Template for loading a file into the inferior ML process.

    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
