Now that SAW does not exit after trivial errors, running it in a subprocess and sending inputs from a Sawscript file works quite well and is a nice way to develop proofs. This file complements
saw-mode.el
to provide functions to make this way of working easy. I've been using it for a few months and it seems pretty stable.One issue I have not solved is in making emacs correctly recognize SAW forms, using syntax tables. It works pretty well but is thrown off by anything like "(x:[8])", where a parenthesis immediately follows a backslash. Adding a space after the backslash eliminates the problem, so it is not a killer. This is a problem I inherited from
saw-mode.el
.Note: the term "inferior" is the standard emacs term for referring to a subprocess, as in "inferior-lisp-mode" or "inferior-haskell-mode", so I am not badmouthing saw in the name of this mode!
