commit d28b00476890f791a89b65007e5f20682b3eaa0d
Author: Philipp Stephani <address@hidden>
Commit: Philipp Stephani <address@hidden>
Add a module function to open a file descriptor connected to a pipe.
A common complaint about the module API is that modules can't
communicate asynchronously with Emacs. While it isn't possible to
call arbitrary Emacs functions asynchronously, writing to a pipe
should always be fine and is a pretty low-hanging fruit.
This patch implements a function that adapts an existing pipe
process. That way, users can use familiar tools like process filters
or 'accept-process-output'.
* src/module-env-28.h: Add 'open_channel' module function.
* src/emacs-module.c (module_open_channel): Provide definition for
'open_channel'.
(initialize_environment): Use it.
* src/process.c (open_channel_for_module): New helper function.
(syms_of_process): Define necessary symbol.
* test/src/emacs-module-tests.el (module/async-pipe): New unit test.
* test/data/emacs-module/mod-test.c (signal_system_error): New helper
function.
(signal_errno): Use it.
(write_to_pipe): New function running in the background.
(Fmod_test_async_pipe): New test module function.
(emacs_module_init): Export it.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Module Misc): Document new module
function.
* doc/lispref/processes.texi (Asynchronous Processes): New anchor
for pipe processes.
* etc/NEWS: Document 'open_channel' function.

+This function, which is available since Emacs 27, opens a channel to
+an existing pipe process. @var{pipe_process} must refer to an
+existing pipe process created by @code{make-pipe-process}. @ref{Pipe
+Processes}. If successful, the return value will be a new file
+descriptor that you can use to write to the pipe. Unlike all other
+module functions, you can use the returned file descriptor from
+arbitrary threads, even if no module environment is active. You can
+use the @code{write} function to write to the file descriptor. Once
+done, close the file descriptor using @code{close}. @ref{Low-Level
