Gforth Manual
5.14.1 Vocabularies
Here is an example of creating and using a new wordlist using ANS
Forth words:
| | wordlist constant my-new-words-wordlist
: my-new-words get-order nip my-new-words-wordlist swap set-order ;
\ add it to the search order
also my-new-words
\ alternatively, add it to the search order and make it
\ the compilation word list
also my-new-words definitions
\ type "order" to see the problem
|
The problem with this example is that order has no way to
associate the name my-new-words with the wid of the word list (in
Gforth, order and vocs will display ??? for a wid
that has no associated name). There is no Standard way of associating a
name with a wid.
In Gforth, this example can be re-coded using vocabulary, which
associates a name with a wid:
| | vocabulary my-new-words
\ add it to the search order
also my-new-words
\ alternatively, add it to the search order and make it
\ the compilation word list
my-new-words definitions
\ type "order" to see that the problem is solved
