-- Compile, run, and check the syntax of source code files with Textadept.
-- [Language modules](#_M.Compile.and.Run) may tweak the `compile_commands`,
-- `run_commands`, `error_patterns`, `syntax_commands`, and
-- `syntax_error_patterns` tables for particular languages.
-- The user may tweak `build_commands` for particular projects.
-- @field RUN_IN_BACKGROUND (bool)
--   Run shell commands silently in the background.
--   This only applies when the message buffer is open, though it does not have
--   to be visible.
--   The default value is `false`.
-- @field CHECK_SYNTAX (bool)
--   Check the syntax of sources files upon saving them.
--   This applies only to languages that have syntax-checking commands and error
--   message patterns defined in the `syntax_commands` and
--   `syntax_error_patterns` tables, respectively.
--   The default value is `true`.
-- @field GOTO_SYNTAX_ERRORS (bool)
--   Immediately jump to recognized syntax errors after saving a source file.
--   The default value is `true`.
-- @field MARK_WARNING (number)
--   The run or compile warning marker number.
-- @field MARK_ERROR (number)
--   The run or compile error marker number.
-- @field cwd (string, Read-only)
--   The most recently executed compile or run shell command's working
--   directory.
--   It is used for going to error messages with relative file paths.
-- @field proc (process)
--   The currently running process or the most recent process run.
-- @field _G.events.COMPILE_OUTPUT (string)
--   Emitted when executing a language's compile shell command.
--   By default, compiler output is printed to the message buffer. To override
--   this behavior, connect to the event with an index of `1` and return `true`.
--   Arguments:
--
--   * `lexer`: The language's lexer name.
--   * `output`: A line of string output from the command.
-- @field _G.events.RUN_OUTPUT (string)
--   Emitted when executing a language's run shell command.
--   By default, output is printed to the message buffer. To override this
--   behavior, connect to the event with an index of `1` and return `true`.
--   Arguments:
--
--   * `lexer`: The language's lexer name.
--   * `output`: A line of string output from the command.
-- @field _G.events.BUILD_OUTPUT (string)
--   Emitted when executing a project's build shell command.
--   By default, output is printed to the message buffer. To override this
--   behavior, connect to the event with an index of `1` and return `true`.
--   Arguments:
--
--   * `project`: The path to the project being built.
--   * `output`: A line of string output from the command.
