No.  I understand that you worked mostly with a cross compiler, where this

You don't understand, as usual.  The address mapping for RAM, ROM, flash, 
EEPROM, etc., are a few gates.  A few ten transistors.  On a common bus.  If 
you decide to go Harward, you add several busses, and have several 
instructions to access these.  The costs are about an order of magnitude 
higher than mapping them all into one address space.

Not at all.  Separated address spaces are utter nonsense.

No, of course not.  If you heap overflows, it's not gonna work.  Whether it 
overflows into ROM or into unmapped space or cycles around and overwrites 
already allocated memory doesn't really matter.

Yes, and that was fine.  The only problem was that 64k are not enough for 
everybody.

Ah, come on, if your program is too large for a 16 bit address space, *add 
more bits*.  E.g. use a 32 bit processor.  Early in the 80s, we had many 
crazy ideas how to increase the address space without going to wider 
addresses: several address spaces, segmented address spaces, etc.  These 
things did cost considerably more than just expanding the register width.  
Parts of that were for backwards compatibility, but parts (like the 286 
memory modell) was pure incompetence, and later pretty much abandoned.  The 
386 still could have all that segmenting nonsense in its 32 bit mode, but 
nobody used it.  Because it was madness.

Yes, but a 16 bit processor is *not* the right tool to address more than 
64k.

Well, YMMV.  IMHO the 8051 works well if you have a small program which 
doesn't even scratch all those memory boundaries.  If you really fill 128k 
of combined code and data with an 8051 program, you very likely should have 
selected a more powerful CPU.

The programs I've written for my b16 are all in the range of 2k, data+code 
combined.  Some slightly exceed the 2k, so make that 4k.  That's about the 
right size of a project for an embedded controller; in the case of the b16, 
it's a 16 bit controller, because IMHO, the 8 bit ALU idea is pretty stupid.  
You need 16 bit addresses, and the few hundred transistors you save in the 
ALU and registers are paid back a 100 times by decreasing code density.

PolyForth 386 pretty soon had 32 bit addresses for everything.  That was 
enough.  I didn't see PolyForth in the 16 bit incarnation, PCs didn't really 
become interesting until the 386 was available; before that time, they were 
overpriced and underpowered.

That's non-conclusive.  The biggest single memory block I've used on the b16 
was 4k.  EEPROMs are often used for some configuration values only, and 
maybe 128 or 256 bytes large.  I fully agree that having more than 64k bytes 
is cumbersome on a processor with 16 bit registers.  My advice is: Don't do 
that.  Use more bits in the registers if you go past the 64k boundary.  A 
64k flash block is more than 10 times larger than the b16.  If I just double 
the register width, and make a b32, it is twice as large, it is still a 
dwarf compared to the memory.

One problem of the 32 bit processors in the early 80s was that many were 
ultra-complex CISC nightmares, suffering the "second system syndrome" Brook 
writes about.  They added all the things they couldn't add back in the 8/16 
bit times, but doing so made the CPU too large and too slow to be 
competitive.  So people were left with the 8 bit CPUs and added crazy bank 
switching schemes.  That was nonsense, born from desperation.

Actually, IMHO the thing you propose is just nonsense, despite the fact that 
many people did it that way - but most of them stopped doing that nonsense 
nearly 30 year ago.  It's not about abstraction, it's about doing the 
decoding of the addresses at the right place: where you hook the memory 
blocks to the single bus.  A single bus is the most compact, most reasonable 
way to address memory and IO on a small CPU.  And a flat, uniform address 
space is the most reasonable way to do it on a big CPU, either.  Even when 
you have multiple busses on the big CPU, and caches dedicated to different 
purposes.

And if you start to run out of bits on a 16 bit CPU, don't start thinking 
about adding *one* bit to the address bus by separating data and code.  This 
is very likely an uneven division; many controller programs are dominated by 
code, not by data (and the exceptions are often dominated by data, not 
code).  The b16 program running our robot has less than 128 bytes of data 
that needs to be in a RAM, yet more 2k bytes of code (and some constant 
data), which can go into flash or ROM.  If you do that separation on such a 
program, you gain almost nothing, but you lose the ability to generate some 
code on the flight.

Your technical arguments are full of personal shots, and I just respond to 
you the way you write.
