RETRO is an open-source project, but I am opinionated and may be
|
|
|
|
|
picky when accepting changes to the core language.

## General Structure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a VM (implementations are in `vm`) named Nga. This implements
|
|
|
|
|
a MISC style processor and system specific I/O extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The VM runs an image (implemented primarily in `image`, from `rx.muri`
|
|
|
|
|
and `retro.forth`) that provides the actual language and a standard
|
|
|
|
|
library of words.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
System specific I/O extensions are provided and can be found in the
|
|
|
|
|
`interface` directory. These include things related to the actual
|
|
|
|
|
user interfaces, as well as wrappers to the I/O devices implemented
|
|
|
|
|
in the VM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples can be found in the `example` directory. These are converted
|
|
|
|
|
to HTML with syntax highlighting and are published at http://forth.works
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation can be found in the `doc` directory. The Glossary is
|
|
|
|
|
managed via a CSV formatted database (`doc/words.csv`) which is edited
|
|
|
|
|
by `tools/glossary.retro`.

I will not accept contributions under the GPL, LGPL, AGPL, or other

2020-09-18 19:05:02 +02:00

## Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I do builds under GCC and CLANG on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, macOS,
|
|
|
|
|
and Haiku. I build RRE for Windows using TCC on a Windows box.
|
|
|
|
|
Changes to the source must build cleanly on all test systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that Haiku uses GCC 2.95.3 for backwards compatibility with
|
|
|
|
|
BeOS R5 so sources must compile on this as well as modern compilers.
