SwiftForth Issues - red6rick/forthbox GitHub Wiki

I've spent the past 4 months working with SwiftForth, my head buried deep where it hasn't been for years. So, I've now got a list of things that need to be added and/or fixed. The list is not (and will never be) complete, but dynamic.

• In FPMATH.F the definition of >FLOAT converts empty strings to 0.0e0 This really isn't right; the simple fix is to trap for zero length strings:

: >FLOAT ( caddr n -- true | false ) ( -- r )
   DUP 0= IF NIP EXIT THEN
   R-BUF  -TRAILING R@ ZPLACE  R@ FCONVERT2 ( 0 | a\f ) IF
      R> ZCOUNT + = DUP ?EXIT FDROP EXIT
   THEN R> DROP 0 ;
