;; See sml-mode.el for further information.

;;; DESCRIPTION

;; 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 sml which starts a sub-process under emacs. You may
;; need to set this up for autoloading in your .emacs:

;; (autoload '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
;; 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-c ` (sml-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 (see file sml-{mosml,poly-ml}.el). Look at
;; the documentation for sml-error-parser and sml-next-error -- you
;; may only need to modify the former to recover this feature for some
;; other ML systems, along with sml-error-regexp.

;; While small pieces of text can be fed quite happily into the ML
;; process directly, lager pieces should (probably) be sent via a
;; temporary file making use of the compiler's "use" command. 

;; CURRENT RATIONALE: you get sense out of the error messages if
;; there's a real file associated with a block of code, and XEmacs is
;; less likely to hang. These are likely to change.

;; For more information see the variable sml-temp-threshold. You
;; should set the variable sml-use-command appropriately for your ML
;; compiler. By default things are set up to work for the SML/NJ
;; compiler.

;;; FOR YOUR .EMACS

;; Here  are some ideas for inferior-sml-*-hooks:

;; (setq inferior-sml-load-hook
;;       '(lambda() "Set global defaults for inferior-sml-mode"
;;          (define-key inferior-sml-mode-map "\C-cd"    'sml-cd)
;;          (define-key          sml-mode-map "\C-cd"    'sml-cd)
;;          (define-key          sml-mode-map "\C-c\C-f" 'sml-send-function)
;;          (setq sml-temp-threshold 0))) ; safe: always use tmp file

;; (setq inferior-sml-mode-hook
;;       '(lambda() "Inferior SML mode defaults"
;;          (setq comint-scroll-show-maximum-output t
;;                comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output t

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.")

Variables controlling behaviour of this mode are

    ML command for changing directories in ML process (if possible).

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

`sml-temp-threshold' (default 0)
    Controls when emacs uses temporary files to communicate with ML. 
    If an integer N, then emacs uses a temporary file whenever the
    text is longer than N chars. 

`sml-temp-file' (default (make-temp-name \"/tmp/ml\"))
    Temp file that emacs uses to communicate with the ML process.

`sml-error-regexp' 
   (default -- complicated)
    Regexp for matching error messages from the compiler.

`sml-error-parser' (default 'sml-smlnj-error-parser)
    This function parses a error messages into a 3, 4 or 5 element list:
    (file start-line start-col (end-line end-col) err-msg).

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.

A prefix argument means `sml-skip-errors' (qv) instead.

Move the error message on the top line of the window\; put the cursor

If the error message specifies a range, and `sml-error-parser' returns
the range, the mark is placed at the end of the range. If the variable
`sml-error-overlay' is non-nil, the region will also be highlighted.

If `sml-error-parser' returns a fifth component this is assumed to be
a string to indicate the nature of the error: this will be echoed in
the minibuffer.

Error interaction only works if there is a real file associated with
the input -- though of course it also depends on the compiler's error
messages \(also see documantation for `sml-error-parser'\).

However: if the last text sent went via `sml-load-file' (or the temp
file mechanism), the next error reported will be relative to the start
of the region sent, any error reports in the previous output being
forgotten. If the text went directly to the compiler the succeeding
