Common Lisp support for Semantic?

Common Lisp support for Semantic?

[David O'Toole]

Hello there, I took a peek at the Emacs Lisp parser for Semantic
(interestingly, the file is named "el.el" :)

It seems that I could make a version of this that supports Common
Lisp. A few questions:

1. Has anyone else already done this?
2. If not, should I start by making a copy of el.el and then changing
it to work with Common Lisp? Or, should I try to make el.el support
both languages by branching just at the points where syntax differs?

Well, it was called semantic-el.el, but had to be renamed because of 8+3
name clashes.

There is currently a thread in CEDET-devel regarding support for
PicoLisp; maybe this can get you started:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.cedet/5179

I don't think anyone else is working on this, but it's probably best to
ask on CEDET-devel.

Hi David,

there is some initial work in the "lisp-support" branch of CEDET here:

http://cedet.bzr.sourceforge.net/bzr/cedet/code/lisp-support/files

I have more improvements for that branch, which are not yet committed.

Kind regards,
Jan

Jan, thanks for this! I will try it out.

el.el already hooks into Lisp buffers and I have been told it works ok. 
  To get better lisp support would mean abandoning the Emacs Lisp parser 
all together as it eventually calls Emacs' 'read' function.

As such, Jan Moringen's suggestion is best.

Hi Jan,

I checked out the LISP-SUPPORT branch and tried to use cedet-build.el
to build it, but the process stops with errors:

I'm not sure, whether the problem is related to the changes I made in
that branch. I will try to merge changes from trunk soon. Maybe that
helps.

Otherwise, maybe some of the other CEDET devs can pinpoint the problem?

Sorry,
Jan
