Forth
|
||
|
=====
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a new implementation of Forth 2012 in C.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Building & use
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use cmake or `build.sh`. It probably needs GCC with `--std=gnu99`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You get a binary with the forth runtime. Run it to get a prompt. Use `-h` for help.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Goals
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Comfy to use and extend
|
||
|
- No dynamic allocation where possible
|
||
|
- Compact and embeddable so it can be ported to ARM-CortexM or similar later
|
||
|
- Implement the CORE and CORE-EXT word sets, for a start
|
||
|
- Pass the [Forth2012 test suite](https://github.com/gerryjackson/forth2012-test-suite), at least for the word sets that are implemented
|
||
|
- Maybe eventually have some terminal-based implementation of a subset of the Facility word set, like AT-XY and keyboard input
|
||
|
- Try to keep added custom words and quirks at a minimum
|
||
|
- Comment stuff, maybe
|
||
|
|
||
|
Non-Goals
|
||
|
---------
|
||
|
|
||
|
- I don't really care about implementing some of the word sets
|
||
|
- Performance is not so critical for a hobby Forth like this
|
||
|
- Probably won't accept merge requests, this is my Forth
|
||
|
- I also don't care about someone telling me to add a license file
|
||
|
|
||
|
Custom words
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
- `.\"` - like `."` but allows escaping, this is essentially `S\" blah" TYPE`, but without allocation (unless compiled)
|
||
|
- `??` - debug dump of the stacks
|
||
|
- `reset` - everything should become like if you restarted the program
|
||
|
- `debug ( flag -- )` - enable or disable verbose logging
|
||
|
|
||
|
For debug, there is `see ( "word" -- )` that lets you inspect and disassemble dictionary entries.
