kforth's Introduction

kforth

A port of Jonesforth that I wrote in x86-64 assembly, circa Sept 2018.

Lessons Learned

  • link to glibc (there's no point in making a standalone executable if you're using linux syscalls anyways, lot of wasted effort)
  • safety checks are important in real programs
  • choose registers carefully, current register choice conflicts with passing parameters

TODOs

  • use clone() to spawn forth interpreters in seperate threads!
    • really cheap to create and destroy!
    • allocate memory dynamically for this to work well
  • ALLOC and related calls do not allocate more memory if we run out
  • profiling does not work, as we need the stdlib exit(2) to work to generate a gmon.out
  • assembler is not working yet.
  • architecture of main.S is limiting the things I can do to make this better.
    • a complete re-write would be in order.
    • use r14 and r15 to hold state
    • use sse and cmov
