Processes managed by name #77

Closed brandonwillard closed 5 years ago

brandonwillard commented 5 years ago

The last commit in this PR enables customized Hy shell buffers/processes, so, now, one can do

(flet ((hy-shell-get-process-name (&rest args) "Hy<testing>"))
  (run-hy))

and hy-mode will create a new, independent comint buffer and process using the name Hy<testing>.

Let me know when you're ready for me to go through this or other changes you have.

brandonwillard commented 5 years ago

I've been running on this branch and it seems good so far, but I really want to get those tests in order.

Regardless, give it a try! There are a couple changes that should help with comint and internal Hy process issues like #78 (e.g. error handling with buffer/process cleanup, lazy-er internal process creation).

ekaschalk commented 5 years ago

I have put quite some new work into hy-mode.

If you are still using Hy you might be interested in checking it out, at least for me, the completion/doc lookup stuff is pretty solid now and many longstanding bugs should be resolved.

Closing this but if you have feedback don't hesitate to share.

brandonwillard commented 5 years ago

This PR wasn't about any particular bug/issue; it was a feature addition that allowed one to create independent inferior Hy sessions through distinct buffer/process naming. If I can find the time, I'll attempt to rebase onto your recent updates, but it's fine to close this until then.

For that you will want to look at extending the hy-shell--with macro, run-hy, and modifying the couple functions under the Process Management outline in the shell file. I think everything else should fall into place with that.
