Re: I was asked something in a *compilation* window

[Richard Stallman]

What effect does sending an eof have on compilers such as Make?
Does it cause them to terminate if they ask a question?

I thought that there was some way to send input to the process.  If
not, we could easily add a command to send input.
  
One other idea is that M-x compile should operate on top of comint.
That is a natural idea, and people thought of it before; ISTR there
was some drawback to it, but I don't recall what it was.  Does anyone
know?
