[Amforth-devel] heap and allot question

[Bernard M. <bme...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am trying to implement a word that allocates a word on the heap, stores a
value in it, and returns it's RAM address.

The word is  : >RAM  ( x -- addr )  HEAP 1 CELLS ALLOT TUCK ! ;

The question is regarding amforths implementation of heap and allot. I
believe it uses the eeprom to save the address i.e "heap e@" returns the RAM
address of the top of heap?

If this is correct, then should the code line above be : >RAM  ( x -- addr )
 HEAP e@ 1 CELLS ALLOT TUCK ! ;

Thanks,
Bernard Mentink
