Rust binding and tools for Emacs's dynamic modules
Hello, Thanks for this project, I wanted to try a first FFI project so I wrote small bindings, and I was wondering how a more fleshed out implementation would look...
- Module code can store values for later use, e.g. in background threads. - Frequently-used symbols won't require repeated `intern` calls into the Lisp runtime. We can have `emacs::sym::nil`, `emacs::sym::t`....
It's mostly about generating a useful type name, for error reporting. Using [typename](https://docs.rs/typename/0.1.1/typename/) crate is one option.
- [x] Signature should use argument names defined in Rust, instead of `ARG1`, `ARG2`, like currently. This can be done by either: + Using `advertised-signature-table`. + Adding `usage:` to the...
This is useful to check if the user pressed C-g during a long running computation. From the documentation: > If your module includes potentially long-running code, it is a good...
Often time, there's no initialization logic needed. Modules should be able to put `#![emacs::module]` at the root of the crate, instead of this: ```rust // So much boilerplate! #[emacs::module] fn...
Writing a module still involves many ad-hoc scripts (`test.sh`, `load.sh`) and manual steps (e.g. renaming files). There should be a cargo's subcommand that supports at least the following: - `new`:...
Could we get `#[defun]` to be able to take parameters to annotate for `'pure` and `'side-effect-free` ? This can help the byte-compiler to make some optimizations. So something like: ```rust...
