Hi

does someone have a clever idea how to interactivly run the currently edited program within a terminal emulation without loosing potential error output?

Especially Term::ReadLine is unusable within compilation-mode, which opens a new pane showing the interaction with the program.

Compilation mode has no terminal emulation (AFAIK), which means potential errors and output is displayed but input doesn't get to the process.

3 ideas come to mind:

  1. augment compilation mode to incorparate term-mode?
  2. Term::ReadLine allows defining explicit IN and OUT handles which may be redirected to a separate xterm window?
  3. like 2., but redirect output to a new splitted pane within emacs
Curious for input, especially for insights if and how other IDEs solve this.

Cheers Rolf

glossary:
I use "pane" for a sub-window within the main window, i.e. what emacs calls a "window" and mozilla calls a "frame"

update

for what it's worth, it's possible to run a term script with "M-x term path-to-script" within emacs. This would not only need another keybinding but any special handling of error messages is lost than.
