- ;;; This file defines a shell-in-a-buffer package (shell mode) built on
- ;;; top of comint mode.
-
- ;;; 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 shell mode, see the comments below.
-
- ;;; Needs fixin:
- ;;; 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?

-
- ;;; SHELL.EL COMPATIBILITY
- ;;;============================================================================
- ;;; In brief: this package should have no trouble coexisting with shell.el.
- ;;;
- ;;; Most customising variables -- e.g., explicit-shell-file-name -- are the
- ;;; same, so the users shouldn't have much trouble. Hooks have different
- ;;; names, however, so you can customise shell mode differently from shell
- ;;; mode. You basically just have to remember to type M-x shell instead of
- ;;; M-x shell.
- ;;;
- ;;; It would be nice if this file was completely plug-compatible with the old
- ;;; shell package -- if you could just name this file shell.el, and have it
- ;;; transparently replace the old one. But you can't. Several other packages
- ;;; (tex-mode, background, dbx, gdb, kermit, monkey, prolog, telnet) are also
- ;;; clients of shell mode. These packages assume detailed knowledge of shell
- ;;; mode internals in ways that are incompatible with shell mode (mostly
- ;;; because of shell mode's greater functionality). So, unless we are
- ;;; willing to port all of these packages, we can't have this file be a
- ;;; complete replacement for shell.el -- that is, we can't name this file
- ;;; shell.el, and its main entry point (shell), because dbx.el will break
- ;;; when it loads it in and tries to use it.
- ;;;
- ;;; There are two ways to fix this. One: rewrite these other modes to use the
- ;;; new package. This is a win, but can't be assumed. The other, backwards
- ;;; compatible route, is to make this package non-conflict with shell.el, so
- ;;; both files can be loaded in at the same time. And *that* is why some
- ;;; functions and variables have different names: (shell),
- ;;; shell-mode-map, that sort of thing. All the names have been carefully
- ;;; chosen so that shell.el and shell.el won't tromp on each other.

- ;;; Directory tracking
- ;;; ===========================================================================
- ;;; This code provides the shell mode input sentinel
- ;;; SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER
- ;;; that tracks cd, pushd, and popd commands issued to the shell, and
- ;;; changes the current directory of the shell buffer accordingly.
- ;;;
- ;;; This is basically a fragile hack, although it's more accurate than
- ;;; the released version in shell.el. It has the following failings:
- ;;; 1. It doesn't know about the cdpath shell variable.
- ;;; 2. It only spots the first command in a command sequence. E.g., it will
- ;;; miss the cd in "ls; cd foo"
- ;;; 3. More generally, any complex command (like ";" sequencing) is going to
- ;;; throw it. Otherwise, you'd have to build an entire shell interpreter in
- ;;; emacs lisp. Failing that, there's no way to catch shell commands where
- ;;; cd's are buried inside conditional expressions, aliases, and so forth.
- ;;;
- ;;; The whole approach is a crock. Shell aliases mess it up. File sourcing
- ;;; messes it up. You run other processes under the shell; these each have
- ;;; separate working directories, and some have commands for manipulating
- ;;; their w.d.'s (e.g., the lcd command in ftp). Some of these programs have
- ;;; commands that do *not* effect the current w.d. at all, but look like they
- ;;; do (e.g., the cd command in ftp). In shells that allow you job
- ;;; control, you can switch between jobs, all having different w.d.'s. So
- ;;; simply saying %3 can shift your w.d..
- ;;;
- ;;; The solution is to relax, not stress out about it, and settle for
- ;;; a hack that works pretty well in typical circumstances. Remember
- ;;; that a half-assed solution is more in keeping with the spirit of Unix,
- ;;; anyway. Blech.
- ;;;
- ;;; One good hack not implemented here for users of programmable shells
- ;;; is to program up the shell w.d. manipulation commands to output
- ;;; a coded command sequence to the tty. Something like
- ;;; ESC | <cwd> |
- ;;; where <cwd> is the new current working directory. Then trash the
- ;;; directory tracking machinery currently used in this package, and
- ;;; replace it with a process filter that watches for and strips out
- ;;; these messages.
-

- ;;; Returns T if REGEXP matches STR where the match is anchored to start

- ;;; Interfacing to client packages (and converting them)
- ;;;============================================================================
- ;;; Several gnu packages (tex-mode, background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog,
- ;;; telnet are some) use the shell package as clients. Most of them would
- ;;; be better off using the comint package directly, but they predate it.
- ;;; The catch is that most of these packages (dbx, gdb, prolog, telnet)
- ;;; assume total knowledge of all the local variables that shell mode
- ;;; functions depend on. So they (kill-all-local-variables), then create
- ;;; the few local variables that shell.el functions depend on. Alas,
- ;;; shell.el functions depend on a different set of vars (for example,
- ;;; the input history ring is a local variable in shell.el's shell mode,
- ;;; whereas there is no input history ring in shell.el's shell mode).
- ;;; So we have a situation where the greater functionality of shell.el
- ;;; is biting us -- you can't just replace shell will shell.
- ;;;
- ;;; Altering these packages to use comint mode directly should *greatly*
- ;;; improve their functionality, and is actually pretty easy. It's
- ;;; mostly a matter of renaming a few variable names. See comint.el for more.

- ;;; Change Log
- ;;; ===========================================================================
- ;;; Olin 8/88
- ;;; Created.
- ;;;
- ;;; Olin 5/26/90
- ;;; - Split cmulisp and cmushell modes into separate files.
- ;;; Not only is this a good idea, it's apparently the way it'll be rel 19.
- ;;; - Souped up the directory tracking; it now can handle pushd, pushd +n,
- ;;; and popd +n.
- ;;; - Added cmushell-dirtrack-toggle command to toggle the directory
- ;;; tracking that cmushell tries to do. This is useful, for example,
- ;;; when you are running ftp -- it prevents the ftp "cd" command from
- ;;; spoofing the tracking machinery.
- ;;; - Added cmushell-resync-dirs command. This queries the shell
- ;;; for the current directory stack, and resets the buffer's stack
- ;;; accordingly.
- ;;; - Bits of the new directory tracking code were adapted from source
- ;;; contributed by Vince Broman, Jeff Peck, and Barry Warsaw.
- ;;; - See also the improvements made to comint.el at the same time.
- ;;; - Renamed several variables. Mostly this comprised changing "shell"
- ;;; to "cmushell" in the names. The only variables that are not prefixed
- ;;; with "cmushell-" are the ones that are common with shell.el:
- ;;; explicit-shell-file-name shell-prompt-pattern explicit-csh-args
- ;;; and shell-cd/popd/pushd-regexp
- ;;; The variables and functions that were changed to have "cmushell-"
- ;;; prefixes are:
- ;;; shell-directory-stack (v), shell-directory-tracker (f)
- ;;; This should not affect users, only elisp hackers. Hopefully
- ;;; one day shell.el will just go away, and we can drop all this
- ;;; "cmushell" bullshit.
- ;;; - Upgraded process sends to use comint-send-string instead of
- ;;; process-send-string.
- ;;;
- ;;; Olin 6/14/90
- ;;; - If your shell is named <shellname>, and a variable named
- ;;; explicit-<shellname>-arguments exists, cmushell is supposed
- ;;; to use its value as the arglist to the shell invocation.
- ;;; E.g., if you define explicit-csh-arguments to be
- ;;; ("-ifx"), then when cmushell cranks up a csh, it execs it
- ;;; as "csh -ifx". This is what is documented. What has actually
- ;;; been the case is that the variable checked is
