;;; Hacked from tea.el by Olin Shivers (shivers@cs.cmu.edu). 8/88

;;; This file defines an acl2-in-a-buffer package (inferior-acl2
;;; mode) built on top of comint mode.  This version is more
;;; featureful, robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 version.  The
;;; key bindings are also more compatible with the bindings of Hemlock
;;; and Zwei (the Lisp Machine emacs).

;;; Since this mode is built on top of the general command-interpreter-in-
;;; a-buffer mode (comint mode), it shares a common base functionality, 
;;; and a common set of bindings, with all modes derived from comint mode.
;;; This makes these modes easier to use.

;;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
;;; the hooks available for customising it, see the file comint.el.
;;; For further information on inferior-lisp mode, see the comments below.

;;; Needs fixin:
;;; The load-file/compile-file default mechanism could be smarter -- it
;;; doesn't know about the relationship between filename extensions and
;;; whether the file is source or executable. If you compile foo.lisp
;;; with compile-file, then the next load-file should use foo.bin for
;;; the default, not foo.lisp. This is tricky to do right, particularly
;;; because the extension for executable files varies so much (.o, .bin,
;;; .lbin, .mo, .vo, .ao, ...).
;;;
;;; It would be nice if inferior-lisp (and inferior scheme, T, ...) modes
;;; had a verbose minor mode wherein sending or compiling defuns, etc.
;;; would be reflected in the transcript with suitable comments, e.g.
;;; ";;; redefining fact". Several ways to do this. Which is right?
;;;
;;; When sending text from a source file to a subprocess, the process-mark can 
;;; move off the window, so you can lose sight of the process interactions.
;;; Maybe I should ensure the process mark is in the window when I send
;;; text to the process? Switch selectable?

;;; Code:

(require 'comint)
(require 'acl2-mode)

;; Was defined in comint, but not any more.
;; (defun full-copy-sparse-keymap (km)

MULTIPLE PROCESS SUPPORT
===========================================================================
To run multiple Lisp processes, you start the first up
with \\[inferior-acl2].  It will be in a buffer named `*inferior-acl2*'.
Rename this buffer with \\[rename-buffer].  You may now start up a new
process with another \\[inferior-acl2].  It will be in a new buffer,
named `*inferior-acl2*'.  You can switch between the different process
buffers with \\[switch-to-buffer].

Commands that send text from source buffers to Lisp processes --
like `acl2-eval-event' or `acl2-show-arglist' -- have to choose a process
to send to, when you have more than one Lisp process around.  This
is determined by the global variable `inferior-acl2-buffer'.  Suppose you
have three inferior Acl2 running:
    Buffer              Process
    foo                 inferior-acl2
    bar                 inferior-acl2<2>
    *inferior-acl2*     inferior-acl2<3>
If you do a \\[acl2-eval-event] command on some Lisp source code, 
what process do you send it to?

- If you're in a process buffer (foo, bar, or *inferior-acl2*), 
  you send it to that process.
- If you're in some other buffer (e.g., a source file), you
  send it to the process attached to buffer `inferior-acl2-buffer'.
This process selection is performed by function `inferior-acl2-proc'.

Whenever \\[inferior-acl2] fires up a new process, it resets
`inferior-acl2-buffer' to be the new process's buffer.  If you only run
one process, this does the right thing.  If you run multiple
processes, you can change `inferior-acl2-buffer' to another process
buffer with \\[set-variable].")

Runs Acl2 as a subprocess of Emacs, with Acl2 I/O through an

Acl2 is run.  Variables `inferior-acl2-prompt', `inferior-acl2-filter-regexp' and

keyword sensitive effects.

For information on running multiple processes in multiple buffers, see
documentation for variable `inferior-acl2-buffer'.

\\{inferior-acl2-mode-map}

Customisation: Entry to this mode runs the hooks on `comint-mode-hook' and
`inferior-acl2-mode-hook' (in that order).

You can send text to the inferior Acl2 process from other buffers containing
Acl2 source.  
    switch-to-acl2 switches the current buffer to the Lisp process buffer.
    acl2-eval-event sends the current defun to the Acl2 process.
    acl2-eval-region sends the current region to the Acl2 process.

    Prefixing the acl2-eval-event/region commands with
    a \\[universal-argument] causes a switch to the Acl2 process buffer 
    after sending the text.

Commands:
Return after the end of the process' output sends the text from the 
    end of process to point.
Return before the end of the process' output copies the sexp ending at point
    to the end of the process' output, and sends it.
Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
Tab indents for Acl2; with argument, shifts rest
    of expression rigidly with the current line.
C-M-q does Tab on each line starting within following expression.
Paragraphs are separated only by blank lines.  Semicolons start comments.
