FreeFem++-Mode

An Emacs mode for the FreeFEM language.

• It is based on cc mode, from which it inherits its features, including syntax highlighting, automatic indentation (TAB key) and others. Current version (0.3) provides syntax highligting for more FreeFEM reserved words and additional menu entries.
• It defines the "Run buffer" function (key C-c C-c) as follows:
  1. Send current buffer (current FreeFem++ program) to the FreeFEM interpreter.
  2. Then window is split into two frames and FreeFEM output is displayed in the bottom one.
  3. If FreeFEM returned with an error:
     • In the output buffer, the error line is highlighted
     • In the code buffer, the cursor goes to the error line and error is highlighted

Install:

Copy the file freefem++-mode.el into any directory located in your Emacs load-path. Then, add the appropriate lines into your .emacs configuration file, for instance:

    (autoload 'freefem++-mode "freefem++-mode"
        "Major mode for editing FreeFem++ code." t)
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.edp$" . freefem++-mode))
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.idp$" . freefem++-mode))

Optionally, you can also specify the desired FreeFEM interpreter, for instance

    (setq freefempp-program "FreeFem++-nw")

or

    (setq freefempp-program "ff-mpirun -np 2")
