Adding Fault Handling to µEforth - Brad
Nelson
Sometimes bad things happen! Numbers get divided by zero; memory
that shouldn't be touched is; bad code gets run. The interactivity of Forth can
be quickly undermined by a system filled with landmines triggered by typos.
Fortunately, most modern CPUs support hardware fault handling, allowing such
errors to be transformed into Forth exceptions. I'll explore the challenge of
adding fault handling to µEforth for Linux, Window, and ESP32.
