Under the Hood

A parent label starts assembly mode, this will do the following:

1. Assemble the input buffer and place the code after the current position of @here, and update the @here pointer.
2. Add an entry to the "dictionary" ("header" format still under design) and update it's pointer.

Note: [ and ] allow multiline input.

փ > @star ( -- )
...   [ LIT2 "* -Console/write ] DEO
...   JMP2r

փ > star
*

փ >

Doubts:

• star JSI semantics (but not syntax) will need to be adapted to jump to an absolute address in REPL mode?
• How to allow multiline input without using [ ]?

@heap

The assembled code area will be concatenated as if assembling Uxntal normally.

| @heap-ptr ( 1337 )
| a0 2a 18 17 6c  ( #2a18 DEO JMP2r )
|
∨ @heap-ptr ( 133c )

@pit

The dictionary will grow in the contrary direction at a constant size for each entry. Instead of a linked list in tipycal Threaded Interpretive Languages (TILs), concatenating in inverse order to an array. When searching for a routine searching from last entry to first as done by TILs is accomplished by starting the search from the "physical beginning" of the array, where the current @pit-ptr points to.

Reasoning

Concatenating instead of threading the routines allows for the usage of Uxntal and not another Uxntal like language with new or different syntax though some semantics may need to be adapted.

փ > :paste
INFO: Multiline paste mode enabled.

փ > @<pdec> ( dec* -- )
...   DUP #64 DIV <pnum>/try
...   DUP #0a DIV <pnum>/try
...   ( >> )
...
... @<pnum> ( num* -- )
...   #0a MOD [ LIT "0 ] ADD .Console/write DEO
...   JMP2r
...
...   &try ( num* -- )
...     DUP ?<pnum>
...     POP JMP2r
... ( Alt+Enter: Evaluate multiline input )

փ > :paste
INFO: Multiline paste mode disabled.

փ > #002a pdec  ( Enter: Evaluate line input )
42

փ >

In this case calling <pdec> would fall through to <pnum> body as in normal Uxntal, something that would not be possible with a tipical threaded implementation.

Drifblim VS drifloon

Zero Page

• Drifblim uses Console and File, drifloon only Console.
• loon uses @token $2 while blim uses @token $1 buf $30.

on-init

• loon uses <assemble> and <read>.
• blim uses only <assemble> on files.

TODO

• Return to repl when when evaluating break BRK expression, by pressing Enter 3 times.
• #foo! should be a Number error (fixed in drifblim).
• Fix key routine.
• Reinstate include rune.
• Refactor into something better the file hierarchy.
• Implement log level.
• Fix lambda syms, not being the same as with uxnasm.
• Implement library path. (not possible due to sandbox)
• Make rom smaller (no unused space in between code/data).
• Make multiline more robust.
• Reset symbols and heap after expression evaluation.
• Fix memory usage.
• Add print strings with underscore as spaces routine.
• Clear heap and symbols after error.
• Reset PC after absolute padding expression.
• Keep trak of ZP pointer.
• Check memory limits ZP, input buffer, head and tail, before writing.
• Log session.
• Make multiline more robust with rlwrap.
• Use walkcomment and allow nesting.
• Make pmem take the lenght to dump.
• Make symbols store code length.
• Implement macros.
• Make logging toggleable.
• [], {}, () parse these correctly. (take strings into account.)
• Comment out debugging for release.
• Remove uneeded experiments.
• Integrate disassembler.
• Restore stacks without :! when aborting from all errors!
• Fix: abort early.

• print own symbols
• Enable switching in and out of evaluation/caching modes when typing an expression or including a file.
• DUP LIT 28 NEQ ?{ #00 ,&comment STR POP BRK }this_is_valid_uxntal!!!!
• shouldn't be allowed (leading / creates invalid definition):

@/MOD ( a b -- a/b a%b ) [
  DIVk STHk MUL SUB STHr SWP JMP2r
]
