The piece between an editor and everything else. One long-lived Session, the program it belongs to launched and owned by the same process, and a socket that takes forms and installs them. What it adds over flan reload is that the session persists - a defvar added by one evaluation is part of what the next is checked against - and that it owns the build, which is what makes its layout rules describe the process actually running rather than a guess about it. The protocol is s-expressions rather than bencode, and I changed my mind about that. The case for nREPL was reusing a designed op set and not re-litigating session identity, but with the client ours too there is no CIDER to be compatible with, its eval is string-in/string-out with no slot for which form from which file, and Emacs already has read and prin1. So: one sexp per message, length framed because the payload contains newlines. No parsing code on the editor side, and on this side the parser is the language's own reader, where :op is already a keyword and Flan source is already a string literal. An nREPL front end can sit on the same Session later; it should not gate the editor. Two silent failures the daemon refuses to have. The agent socket is chosen by the daemon and forced through FLAN_AGENT_SOCKET before spawning, because a program's source has to name some path and a daemon that guessed would compile, build and deliver a module to nobody. And delivery is checked: agent/start returning 0 means a socket was bound, not that anyone connected, so a failed connect or a reply that is not ok becomes an error the editor sees. It waits for the program to bind before accepting an evaluation, since one arriving first fails for a reason that reads like a compiler bug, and it accepts with a timeout so a program that has exited takes the daemon with it instead of leaving an editor waiting on a socket nobody serves.

(** The editor protocol: one s-expression per message, length framed.

Not bencode and not nREPL, and the reason is that both ends are ours. There
|
|
is no CIDER to be compatible with, nREPL's [eval] is string-in/string-out
|
|
with no slot for *which form, from which file*, and Emacs already has
|
|
[read] and [prin1] — so a sexp protocol is no parsing code on that side and
|
|
a few lines here, where the reader that parses it is the language's own.
|
|
An nREPL server can be a second front end on the same [Session] later; it
|
|
should not gate the editor.

|

Framing is a decimal byte count, a newline, then that many bytes. A message
|
|
carries Flan source, which contains newlines, so a line-oriented protocol
|
|
would need an escape layer that this does not. *)
|
|
|
|
(* Elisp's [read] understands \\n and \\t but not OCaml's \\ddd, so this
|
|
escapes the two characters that must be escaped and passes everything else
|
|
through as itself. Both readers take a raw newline inside a string. *)
