[Flashforth-devel] questions re allot & dump

[Christopher H. <chr...@li...>]

Hi, I had two question:

(1) I was wondering how does FF know how much data section memory to
deallocate when you delete words (with marker or empty)? Is a pointer
value stored in marker words for this?

(2) Is there something wrong with the `dump' word in E FlashForth 5
ATmega328 18.11.2020? I can't seem to get any output from it.

The marker word stores the dictionary pointers as data in itself, and
restores the pointers when the marker word is executed.
There are five pointers stored and restored. 

Try to use a count of at least $10. There is no output if the count is
smaller.
