Hi all,
I want Emacs to display the compilation buffer only if the compilation failed.
Here's what I have so far:
(defun my-compile-success-p (buffer)
(with-current-buffer buffer
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-max))
(previous-line)
(beginning-of-line)
(when (search-forward "Compilation finished" nil t)
t))))
(defun my-recompile-switch-if-error ()
(interactive)
(let ((buf (save-window-excursion ; prevent display-buffer
(recompile)))) ; returns compilation buffer
(when (not (my-compile-success-p buf))
(display-buffer buf))))
But it doesn't work...
I have a file named obfu.c which compiles successfully when I run M-x
recompile.
(my-compile-success-p "*compilation*")
=> t
If I insert garbage in obfu.c, save, and recompile:
(my-compile-success-p "*compilation*")
=> nil
So my-compile-success-p seems to work.
Now if I switch back to a successful compilation:
(buffer-name (with-current-buffer "obfu.c" (recompile)))
=> "*compilation*"
(my-compile-success-p "*compilation*")
=> t
(my-compile-success-p (buffer-name
(with-current-buffer "obfu.c"
(recompile))))
=> nil
wtf?

After displaying it, AFAICT.

AFAICT, `recompile' invokes `compilation-start', which calls `display-buffer' on
the output buffer.
The doc string of `compilation-start' does not explicitly say that it displays
the buffer. It probably should. The first line should probably state that it
runs compilation command COMMAND _and displays the output_. Some subsequent
doc-string line can bother to mention "(low-level interface)", if that is really
helpful/important.
Consider reporting a doc bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug'.

save-window-excursion prevents the display-buffer call. It does work.
The real problem is after.
Consider this:
(with-current-buffer "obfu.c"
(let ((buf "*compilation*"))
(print buf)
(my-compile-success-p buf)))
"*compilation*"
=> t
(with-current-buffer "obfu.c"
(let ((buf (buffer-name (recompile))))
(print buf)
(my-compile-success-p buf)))
"*compilation*"
=> nil
In both case buf has the same value (both code prints "*compilation*")
but when passed to my-compile-success-p, the return value is
different.

I think I understand now.
(with-current-buffer "obfu.c"
(let ((buf (buffer-name (recompile))))
(sit-for 1)
(my-compile-success-p "*compilation*")))
=> t
The call to recompile is asynchronous. I have to wait until the end of
the compilation before checking the content of the buffer.
How can I do this?

Maybe `compilation-handle-exit'?
Dunno. I just glanced at the code.

Ok, here's what I have so far.
I've added a hook to compilation-finish-function to display the buffer
and redefined compilation-start which is kind of ugly...
I've basically copy-pasted compilation-start and removed the
display-buffer call and everything dealing with the new window.
; called at end of compilation
(defun my-compile-switch (buf s)
(when (not (string= s "finished\n"))
(display-buffer buf)))
(add-to-list 'compilation-finish-functions 'my-compile-switch)
; kill current process yes-or-no-p => t (always kill process)
; commented display-buffer call & sexp using outwin var
(defun compilation-start (command &optional mode name-function highlight-regexp)
"Run compilation command COMMAND (low level interface).
If COMMAND starts with a cd command, that becomes the `default-directory'.
The rest of the arguments are optional; for them, nil means use the default.
MODE is the major mode to set in the compilation buffer. Mode
may also be t meaning use `compilation-shell-minor-mode' under `comint-mode'.
If NAME-FUNCTION is non-nil, call it with one argument (the mode name)
to determine the buffer name. Otherwise, the default is to
reuses the current buffer if it has the proper major mode,
else use or create a buffer with name based on the major mode.
If HIGHLIGHT-REGEXP is non-nil, `next-error' will temporarily highlight
the matching section of the visited source line; the default is to use the
global value of `compilation-highlight-regexp'.
