Jonesforth-ARM

An ARM port of X86 JonesForth by Richard W.M. Jones rich@annexia.org at http://annexia.org/forth.

What is this ?

Jonesforth-ARM is a Forth interpreter developed for ARM.

The algorithm for our unsigned DIVMOD instruction is extracted from 'ARM Software Development Toolkit User Guide v2.50' published by ARM in 1997-1998

Compared to the original interpreter:

• We did not keep the jonesforth.f section allowing to compile assembly from the Forth interpreter because it was X86 specific.
• We pass all the original JonesForth's tests on ARM (except one which depends on the above X86 assembly compilation).
• We added a native signed DIVMOD instruction (S/MOD)

Another project porting Jonesforth on ARM is ongoing at https://github.com/phf/forth

Build and run instructions

If you are building on the ARM target, just type,

$ make

to build the forth interpreter.

After building, we recommend that you run the test-suite by executing,

$ make test

To launch the forth interpreter, type

$ cat jonesforth.f - | ./jonesforth
