- use c style comments to not break non gcc compilers (compile with -ansi -pedantic)
Try compiling it on a non-gcc compiler. It won't work.
But it's a step closer.
- implement unaligned-w@, unaligned-w!, unaligned-l@, unaligned-l!
I'd rather have these implemented in Forth; we have too many primitives already.
I don't agree on this. Unaligned accesses are slower than the aligned versions anyways, plus we need to bloat the forth code with endianess checks where we can solve this in the preprocessor in C. I made Forth versions of these words as well, but while thinking about when you need unaligned accesses, I came to the conclusion that you probably don't want further slowdown. It's ugly that you have to break up atomicity of the access anyways.
- use conf.pl to create types.h according to compiler capabilities (cross compiling possible) (cleaner version then last patch)
I don't like it yet...
What's wrong?
- move unix host code from prim.code to unix.code
Please leave it where it is, for now. We'll move it when we compile stuff from source (as opposed to the current situation: from a precompiled dictionary).
Which reminds me that we also need support for multiple linked dictionaries when doing packages. Though maybe it might be enough to have multiple fcode lookup tables in the fcode evaluator? Is there any trivial way of doing this?
