If the control-flow stuff is on the return-stack, "it doesn't conflict
with the user's data on the data-stack."  I only bring that up because
of the following:

ISTM, that the ANS concept of a "control-flow stack" was to allow for
it's placement where best suited for any particular Forth.  I.e., you
could have a control-flow stack, return stack, data stack, all separate.
Or, it could be placed on one them.  The concept seems to even allow for
the control-flow stack be eliminated for STC or compiled Forth.

I.e., it's an attempt to allow for adapting Forth to a variety of
implementations, or to abstract Forth from the underlying architecture.
I won't get into the negatives of doing so.  Both were done to C with
negative results.  Of course, the opposite was done with Forth, which
many here still rile against.

Don't forget that the "control flow stack" (wherever it is) exists only 
during compilation, and has nothing to do with the application code you 
write. It's invisible to the programmer.

I didn't bother responding to Rod's post previously, because it is all nonsense --- it is not possible to have the control-stack be the same as the return-stack. The ANS-Forth document (3.2.3.2.) says that the control-stack may or may not be the same as the data stack.

Rod doesn't really know anything about Forth --- total ignorance is demonstrated in statements such as: "If the control-flow stuff is on the return-stack, 'it doesn't conflict with the user's data on the data-stack.' "

Elizabeth Rather is apparently okay with responding to nonsense, or just doesn't recognize nonsense because she doesn't know any more about Forth than Rod does (all she knows is what is in "Starting Forth").

So, an application programmer isn't allowed to do meta-compilation (write words that generate other words)?

This is an incredible quote that only Elizabeth Rather could blurt out!

Well, no wonder she hates :NAME and all that meta-compilation in my novice package! I've delved into the realm of the invisible! She must consider my definers such as 1ARRAY etc. to be the work of sorcery from the invisible world --- maybe if she tattooed a crucifix on her forehead she would feel safe from my code. LOL

Is isn't *possible*? ...

You can't return from a Forth word in the middle of existing control-flow.
The control-flow sequence must be completed first.  (This is where an
understanding of structured code, especially in C, would help you.)
Therefore, there is no conflict.  I.e., it is *possible* to use the
return-stack as the control-flow stack.  It would seem to me that a  
conflict
issue between control-flow and user data on the data stack is more likely.
The user uses the data stack far more frequently than the return-stack.
The only real issue with using the return-stack for control-flow is that
data must be moved to it from the data stack and back.

How would it conflict?

I've implemented a Forth interpreter in C at first, now mostly in Forth.   
So,
I know far more than many Forth people do about Forth.  Of course, there  
are
people who are far better versed at this than I am.  Admittedly, I'm not
fond of the language or experienced much in it, other than implementing
the Forth system words in Forth.  But, coding them is still coding quite a  
bit
of Forth ...  Much of it was coded from scratch, some from existing common
definitions, some the result of Forth optimizers, and some of it converted
to Forth from Forth in C, and also from C not remotely expressed as  
anything
like Forth.  It seems unlikely to me that there are more than a few people
around here who can convert C to Forth, or the reverse, as I demonstrated  
in
a reply to Julian Noble many years ago.

I'm not saying my interpreter is perfect.  All I know is that it seems to
work correctly (when I don't mess things up).  It passes the tests I coded.
It passes Hayes core for the words that are implemented.  ANS compliance
wasn't even attempted ...  It is mainly fig-Forth based.  Now, you can
attribute that to my skill, or perhaps to the excellence of the Forth
standards ...  Either way, things are (mostly) working as expected.  It's
not a completed project, yet.

It's quite possible, but unnecessary and rarely done. Remember, the 
"control flow stack" discussed in the Standards is *not* the stack where 
things like DO ... LOOP indices are kept, it's where the place to patch 
the forward or backward branch is kept during compilation. User code 
never sees these things, except via words like CS-PICK, which few 
application writers use. Putting the control flow items on the return 
stack would solve no problems and add unnecessary instructions. The 
standards carefully avoid mandating that it be the data stack because 
the policy is not to mandate implementation.

Yes. But users use the data stack for run-time code. They rarely use it 
during compilation.

It is not possible to have the control-stack be the return-stack. Control-flow words such as IF ELSE THEN etc. are just ordinary colon words executing during the compilation of a colon word. They can't put data on the return stack because that data will be used as a return-address which will result in a system crash. This will occur if a colon word is being compiled interactively on the command-line and it is more than one line long. Kerblewey! Duh!

I previously described Rod's assertion that the control-stack could be the return-stack as "total ignorance of Forth" and I speculated that Elizabeth Rather doesn't know any more about Forth than Rod does --- her response proves that she really doesn't know any more, as she also asserted that the control-stack could be the return-stack. And she is supposed to be our leader???

Yes you can! As I said above, this happens when compiling a colon word interactively at the command-line and the colon word is more than one line long --- the outer interpreter returns after every line --- kerblewey! Do either of you even know what the outer interpreter is?

Rarely? Who cares if it is rare or often? If it is legal then it has to be supported, and it has to be done correctly.

Meta-compiling is important whether it is rare or not --- all of my defining words in the novice package use meta-compilation, so it is important to me --- it should be important to anybody who knows what meta-compilation is (not either of you, apparently).

When I wrote my "alien alphabet" program (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.forth/3Y4w_MdYl0k) I discovered a bug in Gforth that restricted the size of colon words. This bug won't get found when people write colon words by hand, because they typically write short colon words. The bug will get found when people meta-compile colon words because they typically generate lengthy colon words (as I did in my pattern-matching function). Anton Ertl did fix the bug after I pointed it out. The fact that I found the bug at this late data however, implies that I'm the first person who ever did any meta-compiling under Gforth --- that is pretty sad, as Anton Ertl is supposed to be teaching people how to program in Forth, but he apparently has never taught anybody about the concept of meta-compilation or done it himself.

To write portable code, the programmer has to assume the worst-case scenario, which is that the control-stack and the data-stack are the same --- so you effectively made SwiftForth the ANS-Forth standard, because SwiftForth is always the worst-case scenario in regard to implementation. 

You did standardize implementation! You standardized SwiftForth's screwed-up implementation!

Forth Inc. is the boat-anchor that is chained to the ankles of every Forth programmer in the world --- by dumbing-down the ANS-Forth standard to allow SwiftForth to be ANS-Forth compliant without any upgrade, you held everybody in the Forth community down to your own level of incompetence. This is why I hate you!

I wouldn't be so sure.  I have done the same exercise (although the
details differ; e.g. mine is metacompiled), and in my experience this
didn't make me a much of a good Forth programmer at all.  Sure, you
learn a lot of the low-level nuts and bolts, but that doesn't

I agree. Over the years, whenever we've sought to hire Forth 
programmers, we've found those who have written applications to be far 
more skilled in Forth than those who have just implemented Forths, 
especially in another language such as C. Does building a car teach you 
how to drive?

Nice teeth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dongarra

There's no point in arguing whether designing a car makes you a better
driver or not, since although the two skills are not transposable, they
are not entirely unrelated. The skills of driving help inform the process
for designing a better car and the skills of designing produce a car that
meets the driving specification. 

No-one would employ Nicholas Tombazis to drive an F1 Ferarri, and no-one
would hire Fernando Alonso to design one. However, you might have hired a
Louis Chevrolet; he was both a successful designer and driver.

To be frank, I suspect I would not want to work for either of you. The
corollary; it's probable that neither of you would care to hire me. The
car will have to remain a dream.

I would expect that an experienced driver with a sound engineering 
background could design a good car. The converse doesn't necessarily 
follow. My point is that if you're good at *using* something (whether a 
car or a programming language) you have a more informed judgement about 
what user needs are and what things need to be prioritized. In the 
specific case of Forth, since it is so different from many other 
languages, implementers who haven't mastered Forth from a user point of 
view may carry their expectations from whatever languages they *do* know 
into making implementation decisions that are not as good as they might be.

Elizabeth

That's the best reply posted here this year. It's in the Oscar Wilde "I

Here is an example of some code from SwiftForth v2 (maybe v3 as well, although I haven't checked):

LABEL R-GO-ON2
   EDX PUSH
   EAX JMP
   END-CODE

CODE R-BUF ( -- )
   EAX POP
   ESP ECX MOV
   MAX_PATH # ESP SUB
   ESP EDX MOV
   ECX PUSH
   R-GO-ON2 CALL
   ECX POP
   ECX ESP MOV
   RET END-CODE

: WID-HEADER ( c-addr u wid -- )
   OVER 0= -16 ?THROW  ?UNIQUE
   -ROT 254 MIN R-BUF R@ PLACE
   HERE 13 + R@ C@ + 15 AND  16 SWAP - ALLOT
   LOCATION ,  R@ COUNT ROT LINKED
   $FF C, 0 C,
   R> COUNT EMPLACE
   HERE 1+ HERE LAST CELL+ 2!  0 C, ;

Notice that R-BUF pushes its data onto the return-stack rather than the data-stack. In WID-HEADER we see R@ and R> without any corresponding >R --- this is because R-BUF does the >R internally.

Now in this thread we have Elizabeth Rather agreeing with Rod in saying that it is possible to use the return-stack as the control-stack. In order to do this, words such as IF ELSE THEN etc. would have to work similar to R-BUF in that they remove their own return-address from the return-stack, push data onto the return-stack, push their return-address back onto the return-stack, and finally do a RET. Of course, this isn't going to work if the word that called them (that would be the outer interpreter) does an EXIT before getting that data off the return-stack. Kerblewey!

To me, this is incredibly bad Forth code. Most likely, the programmer who wrote R-BUF didn't know about the data-stack. He most likely has a background in assembly-language and has never programmed in Forth --- when he was tasked with writing R-BUF he was told that it should push its datum onto the "stack" and he assumed this meant the return-stack because nobody told him that Forth has a data-stack --- and nobody ever corrected his mistake, so his code ended up in the production release of SwiftForth. Note that this programmer was a graduate of Elizabeth Rather's Forth class at Forth Inc..

Totally unreadable and unmaintainable.

It doesn't get any worse than that.

No real programmer would produce code like that unless you
held a gun to his head.

If this is the Forth way, then Forth is to programming languages
what shit is to food.

However, I'm sure that the mindless worshippers of Forth will
defend this code.

No they won't.  Hugh cited that as an example of what *not* to do.
Then, you post a month later saying it's a prime example of what
*not* to do ...  ROFL.

If you had actually read Hugh's post instead of mindlessly replying
to his posts, or if you hadn't snipped so much context, perhaps you
would've recognized what he had said.  I added bracketed [] comments
above to clarify the issue.

The "you" is meant as "one"; i.e. not you specifically. It's a feature of
modern English that allows this construct; "one may use the data stack if
one wishes" is now considered quite old fashioned. Read it as "one".

Bug? I suspect you actually mean "restriction or freedom I don't like".

So, during meta-compilation, you (that's "you Hugh", not "one") feel the
need to carry some data from word to word and want to use the data stack
without hindrance. Since ANS Forth has forced you to compromise and you
are not supporting nested compilation, why not use global variables or
values instead? Or locals; that seems a good compromise, and hardly worth
kicking up your usual shitstorm of pointlessness about.

Elizabeth "Gru" Rather, her sidekick Dr Nefario and her SwiftForth

She has succeeded in binding Forth implementors up with local variables.

For the record, it was not my study, it was the TC's (I don't remember
who was in the group that did it). The whole FIG membership and all
known implementers were included in the survey, which was several pages
long and covered a variety of topics.

Personally, I backed a different approach, but Eaker was "common
practice". Now 20 years later, it's my experience that Eaker has worked
fine in many applications, and it's been easy to implement other kinds
of switches when appropriate.

Cheers,
Elizabeth

Mis-quoted. I did not say that.

The point that I was making, was that you were using the term "Forth" as a synonym for "ANS-Forth." It is certainly true that ANS-Forth makes CASE difficult --- ANS-Forth makes everything difficult --- but this doesn't at all imply that "Forth" makes these things difficult. As I said: Forth is what you want it to be (for the ANS-Forth TC, a screwed-up mess --- a projection of their own minds --- but that is not all Forthers).

Well, it is a thankless miserable job. 

This reminds me of when I was in junior high-school. The principal had a poster on the wall that said: "Never try to teach a pig to sing --- it wastes your time, and it annoys the pig."
