[Flashforth-devel] Base value of task

[Herman A. <exp...@vn...>]

Hi Mikael

There is a disturbing thing using pictured output in task. The base (radix) of task is not initialised automatically neither at creating nor initiating of task. If I forget to set the base in task a legal value, it will remain zero. Generating the pictured numeric output, the illegal value of base couse not only a hangup, but usually destroys the FF system. It would be practical to set the base a default value automatically at the creating or initiating of task. Perhaps it can inherit the actual base value of operator task.

Hi Attila,

Thanks for the info. I noticed the same thing a few years ago bút did 
not do anything about it.
Now for FF 5.0:
I have  added DECIMAL in TINIT.
FF now also catches divide by zero errors and restarts.
BASE is hidden so it cannot be ticked anymore. HEX BIN DECIMAL can be used.

Do you have any other suggestions for FF 5.0 before I freeze it ?
