Re: [Bug-apl] Support for help command in emacs-mode

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi,

it seems like Elias' sources in git are slightly out of sync with the current GNU APL sources.
For example (emacs.hh around line 55):

-    return string((const char *)&utf[0], utf.size());
+    return string((const char *)(utf.get_items()), utf.size());

Best Regards,
/// Jürgen

Thank you for this work. This is something have planned to do for a while but never got around to.

I merged your changes and tested, and it all seems to work fine. I'll merge this into gnu-apl-mode, but Jürgen needs to do the same on his side before this is complete.

Regards,

Elias

Hi Juergen, Elias and all,

Some time ago we have been discussing the idea to move help from
gnu-apl-mode in Emacs into the GNU APL itself.

Now since we have a help in GNU APL, I've implemented network command in
emacs_mode part of GNU APL which will send requested help as a list of
S-expressions ready to be parsed on a Emacs side. See patches and new
files attached (to be applied/added into the src/emacs_mode directory)

I've also implemented support for this command in emacs-mode,
corresponding pull-request is here:
https://github.com/lokedhs/gnu-apl-mode/pull/26

This combination has been tested locally.
The changes are backwards-compatible.
