Show the return stack

Can you show the return stack in Forth?

.S shows the parameter stack. Is there a similar word showing the contents of the return stack?

I found SHOWSTACK on the web, but it does't work.

Solution

  • I think you could use this code if you are curious about the return stack:

    : RTEST RP@ DUP >R RP@ RDROP SWAP - ;

RTEST CONSTANT RSTEP
RP@ CONSTANT RBIAS

: .RETURNSTACK \ --
  RP@ RBIAS 
  DO I @ U. RSTEP
  +LOOP CR ;
