• FigForth Vocabularies

    From sjack@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 13 14:38:45 2024
    Went whole hog on Fig Forth vocabularies. FORTH contains mostly just
    the released FigForth words. TOAD is main branch for toad works
    (my customization's). OP is for operator words that don't normally
    get compiled .e.g. short cut aliases. WRK is for developing new
    words, running jobs, demos and tests.

    Word sets that branch from TOAD (or anywhere) have their private
    words in their private vocabularies. The word NIX was defined to
    FORGET and fix VOC-link chain that may break and CONTEXT of remaining vocabularies should a vocabulary be in the forgotten path and also
    free allocated buffers in buffer links that no longer exist in the
    dictionary. MARKER uses NIX and ANEW uses MARKER.
    FORGET was left its simple self for times when forgetting
    and it's known vocabularies (and allocated buffers) are not involved,
    for example:
    0 VALUE FOO ' FOO FORGET FOO CONSTANT DOVAL

    It's no longer KISS:
    OP DEFS \ See operator words (will want to see LSW)
    TOAD LSW \ List words only in TOAD context, excludes
    \ the FORTH words that TOAD links into.
    WRK LSW \ List words only in WRK context, and ditto
    ( See why just OP TOAD LSW doesn't work? )

    Using vocabularies to their fullest which adds a little complexity
    may not be needed but the design was there and I wanted to see it
    work and it's been simple enough so I'll just keep it.
