Hi Enoch, Only one remark so far.
You defined the scope stack effect as ( addr len -- addr len wid ) Usually forth follows the conecpt, that a word consumes its parameters to generate the new data. I'd prefer to keep this idea as the general design pattern. That changes scope to the stack effect (addr len -- wid ) That requires a few more instructions (a 2DUP in (CREATE) and the get-current needs some glue code to be usable as a scope provider. Nothing really big, I think. Your scope example turns to something like : scope ( addr len -- wid) drop c@ [char] _ = if _private else get-current then ; (not tested) The standard scope provider that uses GET-CURRENT will be : current-scope drop drop get-current ; > P/S If you approve of this patch I suggest submission of an RfD to > forth200x.org. You're a brave man ;) Matthias ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
