gforth: gforth/BUGS


1 : anton 1.13 gforth.el: indentation does not work right on the first line of a
2 :     buffer. anton 27jan95
3 :    
4 :     Conditional compilation continues after the file ends. This is allowed
5 :     by the standard (through an ambiguous condition), but the compiler
6 :     should at least produce a warning. anton 27jan95
7 : anton 1.16
8 : anton 1.23 QUERY and TIB may behave differently than some may expect. TIB always
9 :     points to the current SOURCE, and QUERY puts its result there. anton
10 :     28nov96
11 : anton 1.24
12 :     open-path-file expands "./" into the sourcefilename. It should either
13 :     not expand "./" or provide a mechanism that allows the application to
14 :     determine what "./" should expand to. anton 16jun98
15 : anton 1.29
16 : anton 1.35 gforth.el: Typing <ret> does not work when tabs separate words in a
17 :     line, and there is a \-comment at the end of the line. anton 19feb00
18 :    
19 : anton 1.33 SEE does not work when the control structure is too complex (e.g.,
20 :     load http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/pentomino.fs and then do
21 :     SEE NEXT-PIECE). anton 5mar2000
22 : anton 1.34
23 : anton 1.43 Include cannot handle lines longer than 255 characters. anton 4sep00
24 : anton 1.41
25 : anton 1.43 Errors happening during a LOAD do not report the offending word and
26 :     its context (e.g., the 64-byte line). anton 8sep00
27 : anton 1.46
28 :     Our ecvt routine apparently does not work correctly for Infs and NaNs.
29 :     Try "ac_cv_func_ecvt=no ./configure; make" and then in Gforth: "1e 0e
30 :     f/ f. 0e 0e f/ f.". anton 25sep00
31 :    
32 : anton 1.47 Our ecvt routine does not round correctly, e.g., 0.25->0.3. Marcel
33 :     Hendrix 3oct00 <8rdcmd$j96$1@news.IAEhv.nl>
34 :    
35 :     Newline has only LF (instead of CRLF) in DOS. Bruce Hoyt 25oct2000
36 :     <39f7b14b$2@clear.net.nz>
37 : anton 1.50
38 :     SIGPIPE can make Gforth hard to stop (e.g.,
39 :     gforth -m 2M wordfreq.fs -e bye|head
40 :     anton 30may01
41 :    
42 :     F. does not print trailing zeroes (e.g., "10 SET-PRECISION 125e f.")
43 :     anton 31may01
44 :    
45 :     It may be useful for printing tables of FP numbers to have ways to
46 :     control the number of digits before and after the decimal point.
47 :     anton 31may01
48 :    
49 :     Block 0 does not work as it should: "0 block drop update save-buffers"
50 :     does not write to the blocks file. "0 block 1024 dump" seems to give
51 :     the previous contents of the buffer. Travis Bemann 10jul2001
52 :     <3b4b4f57$0$42883$272ea4a1@news.execpc.com>
53 :    
54 :     When accessing a block beyond the end of the block file, the result is
55 :     filled with spaces (this is also documented). However, when accessing
56 :     a previously unwritten block before the end of the block file, we will
57 :     get a block full of zeroes on most (all?) OSs. This inconsistency
58 :     should be eliminated and the documentation fixed. anton 14jul2001
59 :    
60 : anton 1.51 F. does not print a leading digit for numbers <1, although it should.
61 :     anton 19aug2001
62 :    
63 :     Path handling may have a bug:
64 :     strace $FORTH 'fpath= .|~+/gforth s" /home/anton/threading-variations/gforth/mach32b.fs" include gforth/kernel/main.fs bye'
65 :     tries to open gforth/kernel/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, then
66 :     gforth/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, but not gforth/kernel/aliases.fs.
67 :     anton 3 sep 2001
