|    obsoleting old structures package in kFo    |
|    21 Feb 24 21:50:12    |
      From: krishna.myneni@ccreweb.org              I've decided to obsolete the older structures package in kForth, in       favor of using Forth-200x standardized data structures. The older       structures package is provided in              struct.4th              and the Forth-200x standard structures are provided in              struct-200x.4th              IIRC the origin of the older package is from Gforth.              Forth source programs in the kForth repos currently make use of one or       the other type of structures. Neither one is complete, in a practical       sense, making it necessary to add additional field specifiers for       unaligned fields, which is important for creating data structures       compatible with those used in external libraries. Thus, the kForth repos       also provide              struct-ext.4th              and              struct-200x-ext.4th              Over the coming months my aim is to modify existing code so that both       struct.4th and struct-ext.4th are no longer needed in the source code       provided in the kForth repos. The use of both kinds of structures, often       in the same program, is leading to confusion and difficulty in following       the source code.              --       Krishna Myneni              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
