Yeah I understood that and was just mentioning that Forth back then didn't have locals like now. I don't remember if the Thinking Forth dialect had wordlists. > This way of using VARIABLE's is idiomatic Forth, as Elizabeth Rather > has pointed out, time and again. Thinking Forth quoted Chuck saying to allocate true globals in the initialization screen, and pseudo-locals in the same screen where they were used. Back then the program and data were both held in ram, so if you had a chunk of code that needed a temp variable, you could probably afford a permanent ram cell since its ram consumption was much smaller than the code's. These days on MCU's, ram is often considerably more scarce than program memory. So allocating permanent ram for variables needed only temporarily is even less pleasant than before. > There is school of dogmatic abhorrence of "global" parameters. > In order to be a good programmer it suffices to be aware of the > this advantages of global data. With today's larger programs things get out of control more easily, but when the program is small enough, using globals like that is manageable.
