None of the words work as expected because the search-order is screwed up. This can be truly baffling! It is baffling for me, although with my experience I can get it back into a rational state. Most novices will think that the Forth system is fatally corrupted and they will just kill the whole Forth system. Whether they feel inspired to restart Forth again, is dubious --- many will just say: "Forth sucks! I was just writing a simple program, and I must have had a bug, but then everything went haywire and the system began behaving in a truly bizarre manner. I'm going back to programming in C again!"

Also, though, it would be a good idea if the contents of these global variables prior to QUIT were dumped into a snapshot data-structure so the user could examine these values to help him determine what caused the abort (quite often in a cross-compiler, getting the search-order screwed up is the cause of the abort; that is a very common bug). Also, the intelligent design for a Forth system would be for QUIT to be vectored. This is so the user can write a custom QUIT that restores some of his own global variables that describe the state of the Forth system for him.

The user can then define his own version of QUIT that calls <QUIT> but also does what he wants. The user can define a new struct that is a child class of the struct that <QUIT> uses --- his version of QUIT will use this child struct so it can save his important global variables in addition to the global variables that <QUIT> saves.

Well, the "Starting Forth" book did describe vectored execution as being a "hairy subject" --- maybe you don't understand how it works --- I doubt that anybody on the ANS-Forth committee understood how it worked.

I am willing to listen to anybody if they actually are a Forth programmer (in the sense that they write Forth programs; not just a salesperson for a corporation) and they are respectful (they don't show up braying about how they are the "leading expert" and everybody must accede to their mighty wisdom in all matters).

It's easier to have Forth system that follows a kind of standard. You can have FIG or F83 or comFORTH or... you name it. DPANS94 is the most recent version - and the first without implementation. I'd claim there is no 100% DPANS94 compliant Forth ;) Except HelFORTH ;) So, beside compliance, Forth systems are developed to do some task. Not for just having a new nice language. What I say is that you can do everything you want if you need it to do something. The standard is something very practical. You can exchange code with people that write in terms of the standard. So if you do not like, write code as you write. Find people to exchange code - that is possible: HelFORTH for example came from RetroForth developments... You know, Reva, FreeForth etc. developed also from this root. It's nothing about ANS. HelFORTH moved a bit to ANS direction. And no, I did not get any money from Forth Inc..

That is true --- the Forth community needs to define a standard --- the most important aspect of a workable standard is that it not be ambiguous, so that programs will be portable between compliant compilers.

Start any time!

> I'd claim there is no 100% DPANS94 compliant Forth ;) Except HelFORTH ;) 

Because of the multiple ambiguities in ANS-Forth, there is a lot of elbow-room --- many Forth systems can be 100% compliant with ANS-Forth --- they aren't compatible with each other though.

> So, beside compliance, Forth systems are developed to do some task. Not for just having a new nice language. What I say is that you can do everything you want if you need it to do something. The standard is something very practical. 

That isn't true. ANS-Forth was purposely crippled. The idea was that students could learn Forth (learn about DUP and SWAP etc.) using ANS-Forth (typically gForth) --- but they wouldn't be able to write commercial programs --- with this education, they would become "portable programmers" in the sense that they could then get jobs writing SwiftForth or VFX code (but their programs would no longer be ANS-Forth).

ANS-Forth is just a toy language --- it has no use other than education --- it was purposely crippled to prevent it from being used for writing commercial programs.

That's irrelevant, since system to system compatibility isn't covered by 
the standard, and no standard I know of makes guarantees (or requests 
them) about the compatibility of different implementations.

If a program is written to meet the ANS standard, then a system that is 
ANS standard compliant will be able to run it.

The purpose of a standard is to guarantee compatibility of different implementations --- this is so programs can be ported unchanged between different implementations, so long as those implementations are compliant with the system --- portability of programs is not irrelevant, but it is the crux of what a standard does.

> If a program is written to meet the ANS standard, then a system that is

If a program is written to meet the ANS standard, then only one system that is ANS standard compliant will be able to run it. For example, VFX, SwiftForth and gForth all have a version of FIND that is compliant with an interpretation of the ANS-Forth document, but none of them are compatible with each other --- for a long time I considered this to be a fatal flaw of ANS-Forth --- then I figured out the disambiguifiers which work around this flaw (weirdly enough though, all of the ANS-Forth enthusiasts hate the disambiguifiers, which either means that they love ambiguity, or that they are in denial regarding the ambiguity).

The standard's claimed goal is portability. We can argue over semantics
but I'd say if you expect portability then it's not unreasonable to
expect compatibility.

Yeah, but if you run that same source code on two different (compliant)
systems and get different results, which one is wrong?

An example.

: FOO 1+ ;

is a ANS standard program, but you may get different results on 
different systems when you type 65535 FOO .

The value returned when either overflow or underflow occurs is 
implementation defined.

As this is implementation defined, 16 bit programs give zero, all
the others 65536. No problem here. The user/programmer has to
know the number of bits in a cell, the implementation mentioned above.

Yes.  Consider

HERE .

It's likely that no two systems would return the same result when
exectuing that program.  Why would anybody care?

In Forth-94 and 2012, it is an ambiguous condition (but in practice,
all systems perform modulo arithmetic (aka wraparound)).  In the
current draft, modulo arithmetic is guaranteed.  I.e., on a 16-bit
system 65535 1+ gives 0.

Which is a very good point (at last) Alex.
Unlike the vast majority of "suggestions" in this group , this
is something a standards comittee should be correcting.
(in this case as a matter of urgency if such issue exists)

If you get a differing result from the same code you don't have 
a standard system at all - regardless of implementation or hardware.

The only thing totally unaceptable  from a standard  is a different output from the 
same input. 

The rest (as mr. siska says)  is gossip.

Let's take adding two numbers and overflow. How would you suggest the 
standard addresses this requirement you have for the same output from 
the same input? Here's a reminder of the problem you face; standards 
don't do addition, processors do.

No. 1+ is. It adds 1 to the top of the stack. If the definition is 
confusing, try this instead. What should the result be?

65535 1+ .

Ok now we are talking about something more specific.
So which standard are you using and what does it say in words and stack
picture about "1+" ?
