# RETRO on Unix - Listener and Extensions In this file I am implementing the interactive listener that RETRO will run when started with `-i`, `-i,c`, or `-i,fs`. The basic image has a space allocated for input at the end of the kernel. This is at address 1024 (the kernel space is fixed at addresses 0 to 1023). ~~~ #1024 'TIB const ~~~ ~~~ :image:save (s-) #1000 io:scan-for io:invoke ; ~~~ ## Console Input The RRE interface provides a keyboard device. This exposes it via `c:get`. ~~~ :c:get (-c) #1 io:scan-for io:invoke ; ~~~ Now that I can read characters, it's time to support reading strings. I do this via two words. The first is `parse-until`. This will setup a temporary string as an input buffer, then read input, passing each character ot a provided quote. When the quote returns `TRUE`, it ends and returns the string. When not `TRUE` it will add the character to the buffer. ~~~ {{ (c-cf) :edit? dup [ ASCII:BS eq? ] [ ASCII:DEL eq? ] bi or ; (c-) :gather edit? &drop &buffer:add choose ; (q-qc) :cycle repeat c:get dup-pair swap call not 0; drop gather again ; ---reveal--- :parse-until (q-s) [ s:empty buffer:set cycle drop-pair buffer:start ] buffer:preserve ; }} ~~~ Using this, a simple `s:get` can be implemented very easily as a quote which looks for an end of line character. ~~~ :s:get (-s) [ [ ASCII:LF eq? ] [ ASCII:CR eq? ] bi or ] parse-until ; :s:get-word (-s) &c:whitespace? parse-until ; ~~~ ~~~ :clear '\^[2J\^[0;0H s:format s:put ; ~~~ Hide the support words. # Standard Interactive Listener The main part of this file is the *listener*, an interactive read-eval-print loop. RRE's C part will access a couple parts of this, based on the startup flags passed. ~~~ 'NoEcho var :bye #0 unix:exit ; {{ 'EOT var FALSE 'Ignoring var-n (-f) :ignoring? @Ignoring ; (-nn) :version @Version #100 /mod ; (c-f) :done? dup !EOT [ ASCII:CR eq? ] [ ASCII:LF eq? ] [ ASCII:SPACE eq? ] tri or or ; (c-f) :eol? @EOT [ ASCII:CR eq? ] [ ASCII:LF eq? ] bi or ; (s-sf) :valid? dup s:length n:strictly-positive? ; (c-c) :check-eof dup [ #-1 eq? ] [ ASCII:EOT eq? ] bi or &bye if ; :bs buffer:get buffer:get drop-pair ; (c-c) :check-bs dup [ ASCII:BS eq? ] [ ASCII:DEL eq? ] bi or &bs if ; (c-c) :check check-eof check-bs ; (-c) :character c:get dup buffer:add ; (q-) :buffer [ TIB buffer:set call buffer:start ] buffer:preserve ; (-s) :read-token [ [ character check done? ] until ] buffer s:chop ; (-sf) :input read-token valid? ; (sf-) :process ignoring?
