|
|
|
|
* This is a tutorial that will show you how to bootstrap an interactive
|
|
|
|
* programming environment from a small amount of code.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* First we will design a virtual computer.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Then we will design software to run on that computer, to enable REPL-style
|
|
|
|
* interactive programming.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* A REPL is a "Read, Evaluate, Print loop". A REPL lets you type code at
|
|
|
|
* the keyboard and immediately get a result back. You can also define
|
|
|
|
* functions, including functions that change how the environment works in
|
|
|
|
* fundamental ways.

/* What is Forth?
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Forth is the programming language we will use with our computer.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Forth was invented by Chuck Moore in the 1960s as a tool for quickly
|
|
|
|
* coming to grips with new computer systems.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* "Let us imagine a situation in which you have access to
|
|
|
|
* your computer. I mean sole user sitting at the board with
|
|
|
|
* all the lights, for some hours at a time. This is
|
|
|
|
* admittedly an atypical situation, but one that can
|
|
|
|
* always be arranged if you are competent, press hard, and
|
|
|
|
* will work odd hours. Can you and the computer write a
|
|
|
|
* program? Can you write a program that didn't descend from
|
|
|
|
* a pre-existing program? You can learn a bit and have a
|
|
|
|
* lot of fun trying."
|
|
|
|
* -- Chuck Moore, "Programming a Problem-Oriented Language", 1970
|
|
|
|
* https://colorforth.github.io/POL.htm
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* As you will see, it does not take much work to get Forth running on a
|
|
|
|
* new machine, including a machine with a completely unfamiliar instruction
|
|
|
|
* set.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* But before we can do any of that we will need a machine. Let's make one.

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* In most CPUs, this place is called a "register". Registers work like

2022-05-21 10:50:46 +02:00

* Having immediate access to dozens of registers is quite handy, but it means
|
2022-05-19 11:23:25 +02:00
|
|
|
* many choices are available to the programmer, or more likely, to the
|
2022-05-21 10:50:46 +02:00
|
|
|
* compiler. And making good choices is Hard. A lot of work goes into
|

* deciding what variable to store in what register ("register allocation") and

|

* when to dump register contents back into memory ("spilling").
|
2022-05-19 11:23:25 +02:00
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Our CPU avoids these problems by not having registers; instead we store
|
|
|
|
* numbers in a stack. The CPU can only access the value that was most
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* right now but you will see ways of dealing with it.

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Normally you program a CPU by putting instructions into memory and then

|
* telling the CPU the memory address where it can find the first instruction.
|
|
|
|
*
|

|
* The CPU will:

|
* 2. Decode the instruction (look it up in the instruction set)

|
|
|
|
* 4. Move on to the next instruction and repeat.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* So now we will make the CPU do those things.
|
|
|
|
* We'll start off by teaching it how to access memory, and then we will
|

|
|
|
|
* numbered addresses. I will take advantage of this later.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 3. A variable length encoding would save space but 2 bytes per

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Here are the instructions I picked.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* CALL
|
|
|
|
* ------------------------------------------------------------+----
|
|
|
|
* | n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n | 0 |
|
|
|
|
* ------------------------------------------------------------+----
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* What CALL does:
|
|
|
|
* ---------------
|
|
|
|
* - Push instruction pointer onto the return stack.
|
|
|
|
* - Set instruction pointer to address nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn0.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* This lets you call a subroutine at any even numbered address
|
|
|
|
* from 0 to 65534.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Why this is useful:
|
|
|
|
* -------------------
|
|
|
|
* Together with the return stack, CALL lets you call subroutines.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* A subroutine is a list of instructions that does something
|
|
|
|
* useful and then returns control to the caller.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* For example:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Address Instruction Meaning
|
|
|
|
* 100 -> 200 Call 200
|
|
|
|
* 102 -> ??? Add the top two values on the data stack.
|
|
|

* 200 -> ??? Push the value 3 onto the data stack
|
|
|
|
* 202 -> ??? Push the value 4 onto the data stack
|
|

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Don't worry about the other instructions I am using here. I will
|
|
|
|
* define them later.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* I mostly want to point out the three instructions that I put
|
|
|
|
* at address 200 because they are a subroutine,
|
|
|
|
* a small self contained piece of code (6 bytes) that
|
|
|
|
* performs a specific task.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Do you think it's cool that you can count exactly how many bytes it
|
|
|
|
* took? I think it's cool.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Here is what happens when the CPU begins execution at address 100.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Address Data stack Return stack
|
|
|
|
* 100 [] [] <--- About to call subroutine...
|
|
|
|
* 200 [] [102]
|
|
|
|
* 202 [3] [102]
|
|
|
|
* 204 [3 4] [102] <--- About to return from subroutine...
|
|
|
|
* 102 [3 4] []
|
|
|
|
* 104 [5] []
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The return stack is there to make sure that returning from a subroutine
|
|
|
|
* picks up where the caller left off. We will talk more about the return
|
|
|
|
* stack later when we talk about the RET instruction.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Limitations of CALL:
|
|
|
|
* --------------------
|
|
|
|
* This CPU cannot call an instruction that starts at an odd address.
|
|
|
|
* a.k.a. "unaligned call" is impossible.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* At first this seems like a limitation, but it really isn't.
|
|
|
|
* If you put the first instruction at an even numbered address then
|
|
|
|
* all the rest of the instructions will also be at even numbered
|
|
|
|
* addresses. So this works fine.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Of course if you intersperse instructions and data in memory...
|
|
|
|
* _________
|
|
|
|
* ________ |_________| _____________
|
|
|
|
* |________| Data |_____________|
|
|
|
|
* Instructions More instructions
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* ...then you will have to be careful to make sure the second block
|
|
|
|
* of instructions also starts at an even numbered address.
|
|
|
|
* You might need to include an extra byte of data as "padding".
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Data processing instructions
|
|
|
|
* --------------------------------------------+---------------+----
|
|
|
|
* | 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 | x x x x | 0 |
|
|
|
|
* --------------------------------------------+---------------+----
|
|
|
|
* Sixteen of the even numbers are reserved for additional instructions
|
|
|
|
* that will be be described later.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The even numbers 1111111111100000 to 1111111111111110 (65504 to 65534)
|
|
|
|
* are reserved for these instructions. This means that CALL 65504 through
|
|
|
|
* CALL 65534 are not possible. Put another way, it is not possible to
|
|
|
|
* call a subroutine living in the top 32 bytes of memory. This is not a
|
|
|
|
* very severe limitation.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* LITERAL
|
|
|
|
* ------------------------------------------------------------+----
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* What LITERAL does
|
|
|
|
* -----------------
|
|
|
|
* - Place the value 0nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn on the data stack.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Why this is useful:
|
|
|
|
* -------------------
|
|
|
|
* Program will often need to deal with constant numbers.
|
|
|
|
* For example, you might want to add 2 to a memory address (to move
|
|
|
|
* on to the next even-numbered address) or add 32 to a character code
|
|
|
|
* (to convert it to lower-case). These constants have to come from
|
|
|
|
* somewhere.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Limitations of LITERAL:
|
|
|
|
* -----------------------
|
|
|
|
* To differentiate it from a call, this instruction is always an
|
|
|
|
* odd number. The trailing 1 is discarded before placing the number on
|
|
|
|
* the data stack. This missing bit means that only 2^15 values can be
|
|
|
|
* represented (0 to 32767). 32768 on up cannot be stored directly.
|
|
|
|
* You would need to do some follow-up math to get these numbers.
|
|
|
|
* The most direct way is to use the INV instruction, described later.

|
* computer write a program?
|

|
|
|
*
|
2022-05-21 10:50:46 +02:00
|
|
|
* The first program is the hardest to write because you don't have any tools to
|
|
|
|
* help write it. The computer itself is going to be no help. Without any
|
|
|
|
* program it will sit there doing nothing.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* What should the first program be?
|
|
|
|
* A natural choice would be a tool that helps you program more easily.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* An interactive programming environment needs to let you do 2 things:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 1. Call subroutines by typing their name at the keyboard
|
|
|
|
* 2. Define new subroutines in terms of existing ones
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Begin with step 1:
|
|
|
|
* Call subroutines by typing their name at the keyboard
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* This is where we will meet Forth.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The below is a small Forth for bootstrapping this computer. If you want to
|
|
|
|
* learn how to implement a full featured Forth, please read Jonesforth, and
|
|
|
|
* Brad Rodriguez' series of articles "Moving Forth". The simple Forth I write
|
|
|
|
* below will probably help you understand those Forths a little better.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Forth organizes all the computer's memory as a "dictionary" of subroutines.
|
|
|
|
* The point of the dictionary is to give each subroutine a name so you
|
|
|
|
* can run a subroutine by typing its name. The computer will look up its
|
|
|
|
* address for you and call it.
|
2022-05-19 11:23:25 +02:00
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The dictionary starts at a low address and grows towards high addresses.
|
|
|
|
* It is organized like a linked-list, like this:
|
|
|
|
*
|
2022-05-21 10:50:46 +02:00
|
|
|
* [Link field][Name][Code .......... ]
|
|
|
|
* ^
|
|
|
|
* |
|
|
|
|
* [Link field][Name][Code ...... ]
|
|
|
|
* ^
|
|
|
|
* |
|
|
|
|
* [Link field][Name][Code ............... ]
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The reason it is a linked list is to allow each list entry to be a
|
|
|
|
* different length.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Each dictionary entry contains three things:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* - "Link field": The address of the previous dictionary entry.
|
|
|
|
* For the first dictionary entry this field is 0.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* - "Name": A few letters to name this dictionary entry.
|
|
|
|
* Later you will type this name at the keyboard to call up
|
|
|
|
* this dictionary entry.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* - "Code": A subroutine to execute when you call up this dictionary
|
|
|
|
* entry. This is a list of CPU instructions. Note that one
|
|
|
|
* of the CPU instructions is "call". So you can have a subroutine
|
|
|
|
* that call other subroutines, or calls itself.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* This code must end with a return (RET) instruction.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Example subroutine:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Number Instruction Meaning
|
|
|
|
* ------ ----------- -------
|
|
|
|
* 7 Literal(3) Push the value 3 onto the data stack
|
|
|
|
* 9 Literal(4) Push the value 4 onto the data stack
|
|
|
|
* 65504 RET Return to caller
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* A linked list is not a very fast data structure but this doesn't really
|
|
|
|
* matter because dictionary lookup doesn't need to be fast. Lookups are
|
|
|
|
* for converting text you typed at the keyboard to subroutine addresses.
|
|
|
|
* You can't type very fast compared to a computer so this lookup doesn't
|
|
|
|
* need to be fast.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* In addition to the linked list itself, you will need a couple of
|
|
|
|
* variables to keep track of where the dictionary is in memory:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* - Dictionary pointer: The address of the newest dictionary entry.
|
|
|
|
* - Here: The address of the first unused memory location,
|
|
|
|
* which comes just after the newest dictionary entry.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* [Link field][Name][Code .......... ]
|
|
|
|
* ^
|
|
|
|
* |
|
|
|
|
* [Link field][Name][Code ...... ]
|
|
|
|
* ^
|
|
|
|
* |
|
|
|
|
* [Link field][Name][Code ............... ]
|
|
|
|
* ^ ^
|
|
|
|
* | |
|
|
|
|
* [Dictionary pointer] [Here]
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Got all that?
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* To create our Forth interactive programmming environment, we will start
|
|
|
|
* by defining subroutines that:
|
|
|
|
* - read names from the keyboard
|
|
|
|
* - look up and execute dictionary entries by name
|

|
|
|
*
|
2022-05-21 10:50:46 +02:00
|
|
|
* We will put these subroutines themselves in the dictionary so they are
|
|
|
|
* available for use once our interactive environment is up and running!

|
2022-05-21 10:50:46 +02:00
|
|
|
* If you were sitting in front of a microcomputer in 196x you would need
|
|
|
|
* to create the dictionary with pencil and paper, but in 20xx we will
|
|
|
|
* write a Rust program to help create the dictionary.

|
2022-05-21 10:50:46 +02:00
|

|
|

* In a stack comment, "f" means "flag", a.k.a. Boolean value.
|
|
|
|
* By Forth convention, zero is false and any nonzero value is true.
|
|
|
|
* However the "best" value to use for a true flag is 65535 (all ones)
|
|
|
|
* so the bitwise logical operations can double as Boolean logical
|
|
|
|
* operations.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* So what 0= does is:
|
|
|
|
* - if n=0, leave on the stack f=65535
|
|
|
|
* - otherwise, leave on the stack f=0
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* It is like C's ! operator.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* In Rust this could be implemented as:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* fn zero_eq(n: u16) {
|
|
|
|
* if (n == 0) {
|
|
|
|
* return 65535;
|
|
|
|
* } else {
|
|
|
|
* return 0;
|
|
|
|
* }
|
|
|
|
* }
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Rust has an if-then and block scope, so this is easy to write.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The literal translation to a typical register-machine assembly
|
|
|
|
* language would look something like this:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* zero_eq: compare r0, 0
|
|
|
|
* jump_eq is_zero
|
|
|
|
* move r0, 0
|
|
|
|
* ret
|
|
|
|
* is_zero: move r0, 65535
|
|
|
|
* ret
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* It looks simple but I want to point out a couple things about it
|
|
|
|
* that are not so simple.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The conditional jump instruction, jump_eq.
|
|
|
|
* ------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Our CPU doesn't have this. Q is the only "decision-making"
|
|
|
|
* instruction that our CPU has.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Q - If the top number on the data stack is zero, skip the next
|
|
|
|
* instruction.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The forward reference
|
|
|
|
* ---------------------
|
|
|
|
* This is another problem. Think of the job of an assembler which is
|
|
|
|
* converting an assembly language program to machine code. We are
|
|
|
|
* currently writing our code in a tiny assembler that we made in Rust! It
|
|
|
|
* is very simple but so far it has worked for us. The assembler of our
|
|
|
|
* hypothetical register-machine below has a rather nasty problem to solve.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* zero_eq: compare r0, 0
|
|
|
|
* jump_eq is_zero <----- On this line.
|
|
|
|
* move r0, 0
|
|
|
|
* ret
|
|
|
|
* is_zero: move r0, 65535
|
|
|
|
* ret
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* It wants to jump to is_zero but that symbol has not been seen yet and is
|
|
|
|
* unrecognized. On top of that, the assembler also doesn't yet know what
|
|
|
|
* address is_zero will have, so doesn't know what jump target to emit.
|
|
|
|
* To successfully assemble that kind of program you would need an
|
|
|
|
* assembler smarter than the assembler we made for ourselves in Rust.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* There are ways to solve this but let's NOT solve it.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Our CPU has no jump instruction (only call) and our assembler only lets
|
|
|
|
* us call things we already defined. Instead of removing these
|
|
|
|
* constraints, find a way to write 0= within the constraints.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Here is a start at solving the problem
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* is_nonzero ( -- 0 )
|
|
|
|
* Literal(0)
|
|
|
|
* RET
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 0= ( n -- f )
|
|
|
|
* Q <-- pop n, if n=0 skip next instruction
|
|
|
|
* is_nonzero <-- f=0 is now pushed to stack
|
|
|
|
* Literal(0)
|
|
|
|
* INV <-- f=65535 is now pushed to stack
|
|
|
|
* RET <-- Return
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* We got rid of the forward reference by defining is_nonzero before it
|
|
|
|
* was used.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* We got rid of the jump instruction by using a subroutine call instead.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* This code is close to working but it doesn't quite work. The problem
|
|
|
|
* is that is_nonzero gives control back to 0= when done, just like
|
|
|
|
* a subroutine call normally does, and then 0= runs as normal until it
|
|
|
|
* hits the return instruction at the end.
|
|
|
|
* So we wind up executing both the f=0 branch and the f=65535 branch,
|
|
|
|
* instead of just executing the f=0 branch like we wanted in this case.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* It is possible to fix this last problem by adding the instructions
|
|
|
|
* RTO DRP to is_nonzero.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* is_nonzero ( -- 0 )
|
|
|
|
* RTO <-- Pop the return address, push to data stack
|
|
|
|
* DRP <-- Discard it
|
|
|
|
* Literal(0) <-- Put 0 on the data stack
|
|
|
|
* RET <-- Return
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Because we popped off and discarded one item from the return stack, the
|
|
|
|
* final RET instruction will not return to 0= any more. Instead it will
|
|
|
|
* skip one level and return to whoever called 0=. This has the result of
|
|
|
|
* ending 0= early, which is what we wanted to do.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* I call this pattern "return-from-caller". It is used occasionally in
|
|
|
|
* real Forth systems. My dialect of Forth will use it extensively to work
|
|
|
|
* around my CPU's lack of conditional branch.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Now we've explained how 0= is going to work, let's make it.
