There are a number of different programming languages available on our systems. The onesmost commonly used in coursework are C, Fortran, Pascal, Lisp, and Prolog. This documenttalks most specifically about C and Pascal. However most of what it says applies also to theother languages that use compilers, such as Fortran. Lisp and Prolog are very different, andrequire their own documentation. We recommend using Emacs for all of these steps. While Emacs is basically an editor, it has special facilities to control compilers and debuggers. When you compile under thecontrol of Emacs, Emacs will look at the error messages, and let you go directly to theappropriate place in the source file. When you use a debugger under the control of Emacs,Emacs will watch what is happening and point you to the appropriate line in the source file. If you have used integrated programming development tools on a micro, you’ll find that the Emacs environment has similar facilities, but it is not quite as automated. You must tellEmacs when you want to compile the program, and when you want to restart the debugger.Fortunately these things are easy to. While this document is primarily oriented to the use of Emacs, it will also tell you the commands to type if you want to do things yourself.
