I'm new to forth. I've played with gforth briefly. And I'm interesting in forth 'images'.
I have this use-case: I want to...
Is this possible? Could you explain how? Thank you.
(I've been playing around with gforthmi
, savesystem
, gforth -i
. And I've looked at blocks and use
. I have no real idea what I'm doing.)
TL;DR The workflow described in the question is not possible in Gforth out of the box.
According to the documentation, Gforth usually requires a relocatable image, but such image cannot be created in interactive session. The word savesystem
allows to create a non-relocatable image only.
A possible approach is to log an interactive session into a file, and then use this log file to compose a conventional Forth source file that is included in the next session.
Something like:
tee session.log | gforth
# or
rlwrap tee session.log | gforth
