The documented CASE syntax: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/Selection.html#Selection
terminates with ( n ) default-code ( n ) ENDCASE ( ) but I grepped the source tree and 1 - nowhere after default-code is ( n ) seen. 2 - nowhere after ENDCASE is ( ) seen. The best example I could find in the source tree was: : compil...@local ( n -- ) \ gforth compile-f-fetch-local case 0 of postpone f...@local0 endof 1 floats of postpone f...@local1 endof ( otherwise ) dup postpone f...@local# , endcase ; And clearly there is no ( ) after ENDCASE. I cant say whether there is ( n ) after default-code because I am completely confused by this Forth code. It is far too advanced for me to understand completely. At any rate, I think a fully fleshed out simple example would be helpful to Neophyte FORTHers.
