The problem with FOR ... NEXT is that there are different variants of
it and, since the whole point of it is to make more efficient use of
the looping instructions available to a platform, there really must be
different variants. That just means that if you share code using it,
you should also document how you're expecting this word to actually
behave.
The problem with PICK and ROLL is only that if you use them you're
*probably* setting yourself up for a bad time. Deep stacks are hard to
deal with and these words *allow* you to have deep stacks without
making them any easier to deal with.
Anyway, eforthl.asm in
http://home.vianetworks.nl/users/mhx/eforth.html contains brief
documentation for all eForth's words.
; AFT ( a -- a A )
; Jump to THEN in a FOR-AFT-THEN-NEXT loop
; the first time through.
$COLON IMEDD+3,'AFT',AFT
DD DROP,AHEAD,BEGIN,SWAP,EXIT
I have no idea what that means though.
