Description
IsForth
IsForth is a cool tool that runs on Linux and is designed for x86 systems. It's written completely in assembly and uses NASM macros to create high-level Forth definitions. So, if you’re into programming and like working with low-level code, this might be your jam!
What Makes IsForth Stand Out?
All the input and output actions are handled using system calls. This means that IsForth can almost take the place of both libc and libncurses. Pretty neat, right?
Diving Into Debugging with IsForth
If you want to debug your program, just type debug xyzzy, and you’ll be inside the debugger in no time!
Navigating the Debugger
Here are some handy commands you can use while debugging:
- Space: This lets you step through your code one line at a time.
- Enter: This will take you into words that are nested within other definitions.
- Escape: Use this to exit out of the debugger when you're done.
- Cursor: Move around within your current definition easily.
- h: This command runs up to where your cursor is located.
- H: It automatically steps to your current location.
Tweaking Your Experience
If you're auto-stepping through your code, pressing the + or - keys will change how fast it moves. So whether you're moving quickly or taking it slow, you’ve got options!
