matlab-emacs-discuss — Discuss Emacs/MATLAB integration

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] getting started

[Matt M <jun...@gm...>]

Okay thanks but ....  "I do not know what I'm doing," means that I cannot
follow the instructions in the "INSTALL" file.

Here is my attempt to do so:

1. In terminal --- make "LOADPATH=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/eieio/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/bovine/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/"

2a. In terminal --- sudo gedit /home/matt/.emacs

2b. Add the following two lines to ".emacs"

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/matlab_el")
(require 'matlab-load)

So that is what reading the "INSTALL" file got me to do.  I apparently did
not interpret it correctly, because ".m" files still look the same in Emacs,
i.e. no syntax highlighting etc.

Thanks for the response!

Hi

With the mentioned commands you've downloaded the files. Now you need to
follow the instructions in the "INSTALL" file.

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] getting started

[Matt M <jun...@gm...>]

Greetings.  I do not know what I'm doing!  I'm just down with Emacs and have
to use Matlab (FreeMat actually) so I would like to be able to edit ".m"
files in Emacs with

   - Syntax highlighting
   - Smart Indentation engine
   - Smart auto-fill for comments and code

I am running Ubuntu.  I installed CVS, then sequentially executed the
following two commands in terminal:

"cvs -d:pserver:ano...@ma...:/cvsroot/matlab-emacs
login"

I amusing just the enter key when prompted for the password, then

"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@ma...:/cvsroot/matlab-emacs
co -P matlab-emacs"

A bunch of stuff happened in the terminal, i.e. text went scrolling by, so I
guessed it worked but I do not see any difference in Emacs when editing a
".m" file.  I even tried M-x matlab-mode in Emacs, but it said "[No match]".

So pretty much, I know not what I'm doing and hope I don't break my system,
and so would like your help in getting matlab mode working in Emacs.

Thanks!

Hi,

Sadly, that line in the INSTALL is bogus.  It should read:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/whatever")

I clearly use too many different languages.

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] matlab-shell not working due to unknown TERM

[David E. <de...@ra...>]

Hello all,

since I just spend an hour with this, I think it might be good to post
my experiences here.

I just migrated from Matlab 7.4 to 7.6 at work (I know, I'm pretty
conservative), and Emacs matlab-shell was no longer working on certain
GNU/Linux machines. It would just abort with the typical

"1 assert/signal failures have occurred; MATLAB will abort in 10 seconds."

I know this error usually arises when trying to use MATLAB on a non-SSE2
machine, but this was not the case here.

After some digging, I found that the cause was that on those machines
there was no terminfo for 'emacs'. You can test this by running Matlab
with a non-existing TERM like

TERM=foobar matlab -nodesktop -nosplash

I tested this with different MATLAB versions on one of our machines, and
there 7.4 and 7.9 ran fine with this TERM variable, while 7.6 aborted.

For getting Matlab 7.6 to start in matlab-shell, you can either use

(setq system-uses-terminfo t)

as a workaround, or you provide a terminfo entry for emacs. On my Ubuntu
machines, I just did

mkdir /etc/terminfo/e
ln -s /usr/share/terminfo/d/dumb /etc/terminfo/e/emacs

which will make 'emacs' an alias for 'dumb'.

-David

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Help on: Idle Work Parse Error:

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Your error is probably because the default in variable semanticdb-matlab-include-paths is incorrect.

You could either customize it, or create the directory.  Creating the directory is probably best since it is on your path by default, and is a handy place to put MATLAB files.  I think you are the first to try this code and not have that directory. ;)

I'll also fix that file so that it doesn't use that default if it doesn't exist.

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Run-Region Problem

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

I'm not sure.  I tried some experiments, and things seemed okto me running on Linux.

You should probably dbstop in my_func, and then see what kind of command it is generating when you use run region to see if there is some sort of line ending problem.

I'm having trouble running a block of code that makes calls to a function  
that saves data to and then loads it from an external file. For example, I  
have written the function 'my_func':

function R = my_func(n)

     [r,v]=system('echo -n $PPID');
     idx = regexp(v, '\^\[$');
     if ~isempty(idx)
         v = v(1:idx-1);
     end

     filename = ['/tmp/my_func_file_' v '.mat'];
     save(filename, 'n');
     n = load(filename);
     system(sprintf('rm %s', filename));

     R = n;

I then call my_func multiple times from test.m:

my_func(3)
my_func(4)
my_func(5)

If I run test.m using 'Save and Go', it works fine. But if I highlight the  
three calls to my_func and run them using 'Run Region' I get the following:

>> my_func(3)

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] emacsclient problem

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

I don't know why the "S" is there, but that problem is accounted for in opentoline.m in the distribution directory.  The edit command should be doing something similar.

I would guess that inside MATLAB, perhaps "emacsclient" is not on your path.  For example:

>> !emacsclient -n foo.m

Does that work?  If not, then you just need to configure matlab-shell-emacsclient-command to the full path to your emacsclient.

Good Luck

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Structure field completion problem

[Eric C. <mat...@ca...>]

I've been trying that patch for the last day or so and it works great,  
thanks a lot for putting that up - now this interface is much more  
usable for me than the default matlab gui.  There are still a couple  
of warts for me, but overall I'm really happy with everything.  I'm  
not much of a lisp programmer, but if it would help to submit the bugs  
I notice, is there an official place to do that (bugzilla/ 
sourceforge/?), or is this list the best way?  One that I've come  
across (and it may just be something from ECB or some other module) is  
that when selecting "run cell" or "run region", my current window is  
split into 2 frames viewing the current .m file.  It's not a big deal,  
but I'm not sure if this is from matlab-mode or some other plugin.
Thanks again,
Eric

Hi,

I checked in a small change that fixes the above described problem in the matlab-shell buffer.  If this problem  was somewhere else, let me know.


MATLAB Shell spends a lot of time scanning output for anchors, errors, debug output, and all sorts of other things.  You could hack comint-output-filter-functions in your matlab-shell-mode-hook to exclude things you don't use to speed it up.

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Structure field completion problem

I've recently gotten sick of running matlab as a stand-alone app and  
have been trying matlab-mode through emacs (actually, aquamacs on mac)  
and have found it to be a great alternative.  Nearly everything works  
really well, but I'm having a couple of issues that I haven't been  
able to resolve...

1) the main annoyance for me is that I tend to use fairly nested  
structures a lot, and am addicted to the completion of field names...  
unfortunately, in matlab-mode while it does complete the field name  
successfully it erases everything before the field you wanted  
completed.  For example, if you have a struct 'str' with fields "one"  
"two" and "three", and each of those have fields "one" "two" "three",  
if you type "str.two.o" and press tab, what you've typed is replaced  
with "one", when you should have "str.two.one".  Is this a known bug?   
Is there somewhere else I should report it?

2) When running programs with a lot of output, the buffer is slow to  
display the output and soon freezes until the program is done.  This  
isn't a huge deal for me, and I'm guessing it's just a side-effect of  
running matlab behind-the-scenes and piping input/output between emacs  
and matlab, but if there's a way to speed things up to be closer to  
how it is in matlab I'd love to hear how.

I'm running matlab 2009b and my aquamacs is based on emacs 22.3.1, and  
I'm running the latest matlab-mode from cvs (3.3.0), if that helps.

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] File error: Cannot open load file, cedet-matlab

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

  The problem with you setup is the line:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/Projects/Tools/emacs/matlab/matlab.el")

 Which should be:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/Projects/Tools/emacs/matlab/")

I know the readme says /path/to/matlab.el, but that means the path to the matlab.el file, not the matlab.el explicitly.  I'll re-write that to be more clear.

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] File error: Cannot open load file, cedet-matlab

Hi everybody,

First of all, I should thank Eric Ludlam and everyone else who's been working on matlab-emacs and CEDET projects.
Emacs gives me the following error when I try to enable CEDET feature support for MATLAB

File error: Cannot open load file, cedet-matlab

This is the relevant section of my .emacs

;; --- CEDET ---

I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know what I'm missing here. (matlab-mode and shell work fine, of course.)

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] News: Updates for MATLAB 'edit' integration in CVS

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi all,

  I wanted to provide news of another update in CVS for matlab.el support.

  This includes some improved integration with matlab-shell and MATLAB's range of editing commands.  There is now a 'toolbox' directory, in which is 'emacsinit.m' which you can run in MATLAB to set it up to call your Emacs for editing.

  This requires that you have setup emacsclient to work; ie - running (server-start) in your .emacs.  Once you run this, many commands in MATLAB that put files into the MATLAB Editor will instead put the file into your running Emacs.  This can work for you both with matlab-shell, or with MATLAB running separately.

  For matlab-shell, I also fixed problems with parsing output from the latest version of MATLAB for detecting errors, and other hot-text.

  This stuff is new, and may be a little rough around the edges.  Let the list know how it goes.  I hope to have some good doc together on getting this setup correctly soon.

  Lastly, there is an indentation bug fix as well for multiple ends on the same line.

Enjoy
Eric

Ah, I did not see the Makefile contains this already. I mentioned this
because the INSTALL file still says one should use

   make "LOADPATH=../cedet/common ../cedet/eieio"

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] News: Updates to matlab.el and support files in CVS

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

 I think I accidentally used an older version of Emacs to make the load defs file.  When I rebuilt, making sure I specified Emacs 23, then the provide statement was added.  I've checked in that change.  Thanks for pointing this out.


  The loadpath you specify in your command line should be the default in the Makefile.  So that others know, a replacement load-path would have a version number in it such as cedet-1.0pre6 if distribution was used.

Hi Eric,

The matlab-load.el which is in CVS lacks the necessary "(provide
'matlab-load)". I gets inserted after a full build, though.

However, to get a full build, I had to use

make "LOADPATH=../cedet/common ../cedet/eieio ../cedet/semantic ../cedet/semantic/bovine"

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] News: Updates to matlab.el and support files in CVS

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hello all,

  It has been a long time since I've had news about matlab.el, so I thought I would share the latest changes that have gone into CVS.

  There is a new download script for anyone who does not have a CVS client.  If you do not have a CVS client, you can download the script from this URL:

http://matlab-emacs.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/matlab-emacs/matlab-emacs/dl_emacs_support.m?revision=1.2&pathrev=MAIN

Here is a summary of new items now in CVS:
* David Engster's recent company-mode support with a popup tip of completions in matlab-shell.
* Uwe Brauer extra support for publishing files with MATLAB.
* matlab-indent-function-body can now have a 'guess option.  (That used to always be the case)
* Revised compilation/setup when using CEDET.  CEDET is still optional.
* SRecode template files.  (for code creation.)
* support for spmd

For those who have not tried the CEDET support that has been in CVS for a while, it includes a tagging parser and database backend that David wrote that provides the tools needed for robust code-completion.  It also enables a wide range of other CEDET tools, such as various decoration modes, and summary help.

The latest changes now in CVS has had minimal testing by me.  I would encourage folks to try it out.  Bug reports and patches welcome.

Thanks
Eric
