9.1.1 The Current Eval Server

Although Hemlock can be connected to several eval servers simultaneously, one eval server is designated as the current eval server. This is the eval server used to handle evaluation and compilation requests. Eval servers are referred to by name so that there is a convenient way to discriminate between servers when the editor is connected to more than one. The current eval server is normally globally specified, but it may also be shadowed locally in specific buffers.

Command: Set Eval Server ¶

Command: Set Buffer Eval Server ¶

Command: Current Eval Server ¶

Set Eval Server prompts for the name of an eval server and makes it the the current eval server. Set Buffer Eval Server is the same except that is sets the eval server for the current buffer only. Current Eval Server displays the name of the current eval server in the echo area, taking any buffer eval server into consideration. See also Set Compile Server.
