gforth

0,7,0

User-visible changes between 0.6.2 and 0.7.0:

Requirements: : At run-time requires libtool and gcc (for the libcc C interface) and gdb (for the disassembler (SEE)) on some platforms.

Installation: 

   support for DESTDIR, POST_INSTALL, INSTALL_SCRIPT 
   automatic performance tuning on building (--enable-force-reg unnecessary) 
   report performance and functionality problems at end of "make" 
   autogen.sh now exists

License: 

   Changed to GPLv3

Bug fixes 

   Now works with address-space randomization. 
   The single-step debugger works again in some engines. 
   Many others.

Ports: 

   AMD64, ARM, IA-64 (Itanium): better performance 
   PPC, PPC64: disassembler and assembler 
   Gforth EC: R8C, 4stack, misc, 8086 work 
   MacOS X: better support

Invocation: 

   New flags --ignore-async-signals, --vm-commit (default overcommit), --print-sequences

Forth 200x: 

   X:extension-query: produce true for all implemented extensions 
   X:required REQUIRED etc. (not new) 
   X:defined: [DEFINED] and [UNDEFINED] 
   X:parse-name: PARSE-NAME (new name) 
   X:deferred: deferred words (new: DEFER@ DEFER! ACTION-OF) 
   X:structures: +FIELD FIELD: FFIELD: CFIELD: etc. 
   X:ekeys: new: EKEY>FKEY K-SHIFT-MASK K-CTRL-MASK K-ALT-MASK K-F1...K-F12 
   X:fp-stack (not new) 
   X:number-prefixes (partially new, see below)

Number prefixes: 

   0x is a hex prefix: 0xff and 0XfF now produces (decimal) 255 
   is a decimal prefix: 10 now produces (decimal) 10 
   Signs after the number prefix are now accepted, e.g, -50. 
   ' now only handles a single (x)char: 'ab is no longer accepted, 'a' now produces (decimal) 97

Unicode support (currently supports only uniform encoding): 

   added xchars words for dealing with variable-width multi-byte characters 
   provide 8bit (ISO Latin 1) and UTF-8 support for xchars

New words: 

   LIB-ERROR (complements OPEN-LIB) 
   OUTFILE-EXECUTE INFILE-EXECUTE BASE-EXECUTE (limited change of global state) 
   16-bit and 32-bit memory acces: UW@ UL@ SW@ SL@ W! L! W@ L@ W L 
   NEXT-ARG SHIFT-ARGS (OS command-line argument processing) 
   NOTHROW (for backtrace control) 
   FTRUNC FMOD (undocumented) 
   SEE-CODE SEE-CODE-RANGE (show generated dynamic native code)

Improvements/changes of existing words: 

   S\", .\" now support m, 
   OPEN-FILE with W/O no longer creates or truncates files (no compat. file) 
   OPEN-LIB now understands at the start, like OPEN-FILE. 
   TRY...ENDTRY changed significantly, compatibility files available (see docs). 
   The disassembler (DISCODE) can now use gdb to disassemble code 
   Uninitialized defered words now give a warning when executed 
   Division is floored (disable with "configure --enable-force-cdiv") 
   Gforth (not gforth-fast) reports division by zero and overflow on division on all platforms.

Newly documented words: 

   S>NUMBER? S>UNUMBER? 
   EKEY keypress names: K-LEFT K-RIGHT K-UP K-DOWN K-HOME K-END K-PRIOR K-NEXT K-INSERT K-DELETE 
   CLEARSTACKS 
   FORM

Environment variable GFORTHSYSTEMPREFIX (used by word SYSTEM and friends) C interface: 

   exported symbols now start with "gforth_" (for referencing them from C code) 
   libcc C function call interface (requires libtool and gcc at run-time) 
   alternative: undocumented libffi-based interface

Libraries: 

   depth-changes.fs: report stack depth changes during interpretation 
   ans-report.fs now reports CfV extensions 
   fsl-util.4th: FSL support files (undocumented) 
   regexp.fs for regular expressions (undocumented) 
   complex.fs for complex numbers (undocumented) 
   fft.fs for Fast Fourier Transform (undocumented) 
   wf.fs, a Wiki implementation (undocumented) 
   httpd.fs, a web server (undocumented) 
   status.fs, show interpreter status in separate xterm (undocumented) 
   profile.fs for profiling (undocumented, incomplete) 
   endtry-iferror.fs, recover-endtry.fs to ease the TRY change transition 
   test/tester.fs: Now works with FP numbers (undocumented) 
   test/ttester.fs: Version of tester.fs with improved interface (T{...}T).

compat library: 

   compat/execute-parsing.fs

Speed improvements: 

   automatic performance tuning on building 
   static stack caching (good speedup on PPC) 
   mixed-precision division is now faster 
   support for int128 types on AMD64 
   workarounds for gcc performance bugs (in particular, PR 15242) 
   branch target alignment (good speedup on Alpha).
