All right, so I guess it's the same concern: when mode-line-process 
contains something unusual, possibly assigned by a derived mode.

It reuses parts of the redisplay's code, yes.  Depending what's in the
format variable passed to format-mode-line, that could cause a variety
of surprises, especially if :eval forms are involved.  It could also
temporarily select another window and/or buffer, if the respective
arguments are not omitted, which could also be unexpected.

IMO, this function should be used sparing and with caution.

Does calling format-mode-line trigger extra redisplays or something? 
That sounds unexpected.

OTOH, relying on the format of the value of mode-line-process is iffy 
(submodes could change it; though I haven't really seen it done so far).

Hi Spencer,

Sorry for replying late on this one. It looks like an interesting 
feature, going a bit further in the IDE department ("denser" UI).

I've tried the patch a little, here are some notes.

Or they might still like the MRU order, or some combination of that 
together with the number of open issues or compilation errors.

What do you think about splitting it into two vars?

One for annotations (just text) and another for "sorters" (or 
something). Unless the performance difference is noticeable, decoupling 
the two will lead to better customizability: the fact that I want to see 
the numbers of errors doesn't necessarily mean I want them to be used 
for sorting. Or vice versa: I could move that number closer to the end 
in display, but prefer to have it weigh more prominently when sorting.

Regarding the mtime one, we could also look at mtime of .git or .hg 
subdirectory when present, and take the max.

About the "compilation" one -- and this is nothing urgent -- I launch my 
compilation submode buffers using rspec-mode, not through 
project-compile. Might be useful to have that supported ootb without 
having to tweak the corresponding function. Just a search for 
compiletion-mode derived buffers belonging to the given project could work.

Probably. Up for later discussion, I guess.

We could also run an experiment.

Very cool. Nothing that we could include ootb, but if you have a system 
which fetches the info over time and caches locally, that would be a 
great addition.

Two problems I encountered when testing:

- It tries to connect to remote directories which have no currenct 
connection. This line:

+                    (cons (car dir) (project--find-in-directory (car 
dir))))

I fixed it by adding

   (when (or (not (file-remote-p (car dir)))
                  (file-remote-p (car dir) nil t))
     ...

but there might be a more efficient solution. We could drop remote 
projects from this altogether, but OTOH some users could work 
exclusively over Tramp (e.g. in local Docker VMs). Something to think about.

- The (return ...) call needed the cl- prefix. It doesn't compile 
otherwise (and breaks in 'emacs -Q').

This should clarify that this is the exit status of the _last_
compilation in this buffer.  It should also say that the variable is
always buffer-local.  I'd also add a reference to
compilation-process-status, because the value of nil is not
informative enough unless one looks at that other variable.

> +(defvar compilation-process-status nil
> +  "The latest `process-status' of the compilation process.")

Likewise here, about the buffer-local part.

I think these variables warrant to be called out in NEWS.

Sure, how about this?

I think it would be okay to store data about the process in a
buffer-local variable, but we need to make sure we store everything
that might be useful.

Yes, I'm just not sure the right approach.  It would be wasteful to
return the comparison function from the annotation function every time
it's called, since it's the same for every call.

Would it be OK for compile.el to start storing this data in a variable?
The number of errors/warnings/infos is already stored; also storing the
exit status would probably be useful for all kinds of things.

You'd need to include the comparison function in the annotation data,
I guess.

If project.el wants to access data from an exited compilation, it
needs to record that when the compilation exits (via the
compilation-finish-functions hook, for example).  Calling
format-mode-line will not help you, because if the process doesn't
exist, its data cannot be accessed, and relying on what's displayed on
the mode line is a bad idea: it could be outdated or even irrelevant.
So please don't use such kludges, even though they might look
convenient at first sight.

Yes, but I mean that *this function* doesn't know, given some opaque
value returned by a user-provided annotation function, how to sort.

For sure, process-exit-status gives me that value.  But how do I get the
process to call it on?  The process is dead at this point, so
(get-buffer-process "*compilation*") returns nil.  Is there a way to get
the process associated with the buffer even though it's killed?

You'd need to write a custom comparison function, but why is that a
problem?

But the encoding scheme above provides the answer: you want errors to
sort before the warnings.  So it sounds like you already decided how
to sort those, no?

I don't see why you'd need that.  Doesn't process-exit-status give you
that value?  mode-line-process is not some magic, it just accesses
process information exposed via the different primitives.

Thanks, fixed.

I'd be happy to use a cons or a vector, or even a more complicated
structure, but I didn't see an easy way to do comparison of
complicated structures, for the sorting of projects based on their
annotation.  For example, if I have values of the form
(num . (num num num))

there's no way to know what sorting predicate to use for such values - I
need to be able to know which value should sort sort first, when I have
a pair of them.

I could make project-annotations a list of tuples of functions, the
first being the annotation-generating function, the second being the
annotation-comparison function.  Then I wouldn't need to encode the
numbers into a single value.  Does that seem like a reasonable design?
I thought that was a bit overly complex.

Annoyingly if I want to include the exit code of the compilation in the
annotation, the only place it's found is as a string in
mode-line-process.  I could extract that string from mode-line-process
and use it, but I thought it would be a bad idea to depend on the exact
structure of what compile.el puts in mode-line-process.  So I just
format-mode-line'd it.

Would it be OK to make compile.el store the exit code as a number in a
variable and then use that?  Then I wouldn't need to touch
mode-line-process at all.

Thanks.  A few minor comments.

> +  "Annotate PROJECT with the length of `project-buffers'."

The argument is named PR, not PROJECT.

Also, instead if too-technical "length of `project-buffers'", how
about saying "number of buffers in the project", or "number of buffers
in `project-buffers'"?

> +(defun project-annotation-mtime (pr)
> +  "Annotate PROJECT with the modification time of its root directory.

PR, not PROJECT.

This is not guaranteed, so I'd suggest to mention that the reliability
of this annotation is questionable, and depends on the underlying
filesystem.

> +(defun project-annotation-compilation (project)
> +  "Annotate PROJECT with information from its compilation buffer if any."

I'd add here something about that "information".  Right now, this doc
string is not very useful.

> +          (cons (+ (* 100 compilation-num-errors-found)
> +                   (* 10 compilation-num-warnings-found)

Why "encode" these numbers in a single value? why not use a cons or a
vector?

> +                (format-mode-line mode-line-process nil nil buf)))

Do you really need to call format-mode-line?  My advice is to stay
away of that function: it could have unpleasant side effects.

This patch adds an annotation-function and display-sort-function to the
completion-table used for project-prompt-project-dir and
project-prompt-project-name, as well as a user customization variable to
customize the behavior of the annotation and sorting functions.

The idea is that projects are annotated with useful information for
deciding which one you want to switch to, and sorted based on how likely
you are to want to switch to or work on them.  For example, a user might
want to know how many buffers they have open in each project, to help
tell them apart at a glance.  Furthermore, a user might be more likely
to switch to projects they've already been working on in this Emacs
instance, so they might want projects with more buffers open to be
sorted before projects with no buffers.

All this is customized by the variable project-annotations which is a
list of functions used to generate the annotations and sorting metadata.
The user can add their own functions to add new annotations and sorting
behavior.  See its docstring for more details.

I added three annotation functions as a starting point, which when added
to project-annotations will annotate with the number of buffers, the
modification time of the root directory, and compilation results.

In this patch I have turned all three of these annotations on by
default, by putting all three in project-annotations, but probably when
this is actually pushed we want project-annotations to be empty by
default.  (Maybe?)

In my own packages, building on this, I hope to add annotation functions
like "number of bugs assigned to you in this project" and "number of
lines of incoming code to review in this project", so that
project-switch-project is a nice way to pick what to work on next.

This patch is still a bit rough around the edges, but I'm posting it now
to get feedback.
