[Flashforth-devel] data sections

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

Hi, I'm kind of new to forth in general, so bear with me: but I see in
FF the effect of `,' and `c,' and `allot' are affected by which data
section is set. I was wondering if there was a way in FF to determine
what data section is currently set, so you could restore that setting
after changing it. The use case I was thinking of would be if I had a
word which temporarily allots some array space in ram to perform some
matrix calculations or whatever. My word can't really assume that data
section is already pointing to ram. But if I set it to point to ram, I
might be destroying the previous state.

I see in the reference that there is a special word 'i,' for allot'ing
just to flash data section, but I also see there aren't words like 'r,'
or 'rallot'.
