![PC-G850](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Robert-van-Engelen/Forth850/main/PC-G850.jpg)

A modern Forth 2012 standard compliant system for the vintage SHARP
PC-G850(V)(S) pocket computer or any Z80 system (with some tweaks to port,
such as to the [MSX](https://github.com/Robert-van-Engelen/ForthMSX)).

Forth850 is under 8K and has [295 words](forth850-words).

A more complete 11K version forth850-full is also included with:

- [58 additional words](#additional-words-included-with-the-full-version)

- single precision floating point math words implemented with a new and
efficient [Z80 IEEE 754 floating point math](#z80-floating-point-math-routines)
library I wrote for Forth850.  More floating point math functions that use this
library are defined in Forth in [examples/MATH.FTH](examples/MATH.FTH)

- a more capable Forth line editor with replay back feature (cursor keys)

Forth850 includes stack under/overflow checks, dictionary overflow checks and
can be interrupted by pressing BREAK.

You can write Forth source code in the PC-G850(V)(S) built-in TEXT editor and
compile it into Forth850 with the [TEXT](examples/TEXT.FTH) word included in
the full version.

You can extend Forth850 as you wish, including assembly code written on the
machine itself in the PC-G850(V)(S) TEXT editor and assembled with its Z80
Assembler.  See [ASMDEMO1.FTH](examples/ASMDEMO1.FTH) for an example with an
explanation.  You can also use the Monitor to set breakpoints and run Forth850
from the Monitor with `G100` to trigger them.

If you want to rebuild Forth850 from source code, you will need to install
the [asz80](https://shop-pdp.net/ashtml/asz80.htm) assembler part of the
[ASxxxx Cross Assemblers](https://shop-pdp.net/ashtml/asxget.php).

If you plan to use parts of Forth850 and/or the optimized Z80 code in a project
that you plan to share or redistribute, then please give me credit for my work

## Performance

I've implemented Forth850 as efficiently as possible in direct threaded code
(DTC) with new Z80 code written from scratch, including faster Z80 integer and
float math routines compared to other Z80 Forth implementations.  See the
[technical implementation sections](#Implementation) why Forth850 is fast for a
DTC implementation.  The [Forth850 source code](forth850.asm) is included and
extensively documented.

The [n-queens benchmark](https://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/articles.cgi?read=700)
is solved in 0.865 seconds, the fastest Forth implementation of the benchmarks.
Forth850 n-queens runs 5 times faster than the C n-queens benchmark on the
Sharp PC-G850VS.

## Installation

In RUN MODE enter `MON` to enter the Monitor, then enter `USER3FFF` to reserve
16K memory space:

*USER3FFF
    FREE:0100-3FFF

Loading via SIO (serial) requires a serial adapter.  See my post on the
[HP Forum](https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-19431-post-169250.html#pid169250)
how to construct one as a DIY project.  After reserving memory in the Monitor
as described above, use the `R` command to read the forth850.ihx file or the
forth850-full.ihx full version sent from your PC to your PC-G850(V)(S):

*R100

The `R` command is used to transmit/receive data in Intel hex format over SIO.
This command is for receiving machine code from a personal computer or other
device.  See the [Sharp PC-G850(V)(S) manual](https://pockemul.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PC-G850VSEng_V3_0.pdf).

To load via the cassette interface, press `BASIC` to return to RUN MODE.  Load
forth850.wav using a cassette interface CE-126P or a CE-124:

BLOADM

Load the forth850-full.wav "full version" to include many
[additional words](#additional-words-included-with-the-full-version) and
[floating point words](#floating-point-math-words-included-with-the-full-version).
The full version will continue to evolve with new features.

## How to switch between Forth and BASIC

To return to Forth, enter `CALL256` in RUN MODE.

To return to BASIC from Forth, press the BASIC key.  The TEXT key takes you to
the TEXT editor.

To turn the machine off, press the OFF key.  The machine will also power off
automatically after about 10 minutes waiting for user input at the prompt.

## How to increase or decrease memory allocation for Forth850

Memory allocation can be adjusted without affecting the Forth dictionary.

In RUN MODE enter `MON` to enter the Monitor, then enter `USERaddr` with an
upper address `addr` larger than `23ff` (9K bytes.)  If words are added to
Forth850, you must make sure that `addr` is large enough, i.e. equal or larger
than the hex value displayed with:

HERE #708 + HEX . DECIMAL
    23FF

In the Monitor specify `USERaddr` with the address displayed.  This leaves
about 200 bytes free dictionary space plus 40 bytes for the "hold area" to run
Forth850.  The largest size is `USER75FF` which gives about 21K free dictionary
space (but there won't be space left on the machine for files, BASIC or TEXT.)

## Forth850 manual

Forth850 is 2012 standard compliant.  For help, see the manual included with
[Forth for the Sharp PC-E500(S)](https://github.com/Robert-van-Engelen/Forth500)
and [Forth 2012 Standard](https://forth-standard.org/standard/intro).

Forth850 implements a subset of the standard Forth words.  A list of Forth850
words with an explanation is given below.

         |_________|<--- USER address
                    <--- USER+1 address

high address set with USER in Monitor MON

A link field points to the previous link field.  The last link field at the
lowest address of the dictionary is zero.

`LASTXT` returns the execution token of the last definition, which is the
location where the machine code of the last word starts.

Forth850 is a Direct Threaded Code Forth implementation.  Code is either
machine code or starts with a jump or call machine code instruction of 3 bytes,
followed by Forth code (a sequence of execution tokens in a colon definition)
or data (constants, variables, values and other words created with `CREATE`.)

Immediate words are marked with the length byte high bit 7 set ($80).  Hidden
words have the "smudge" bit 6 ($40) set.  A word is hidden until successfully
compiled.  `HIDE` hides the last defined word by setting the smudge bit.
`REVEAL` reveals it.  Incomplete colon definitions with compilation errors
should never be revealed.

## Implementation

The following sections explain parts of the technical implementation of
Forth850.  I will explain the new Forth system routines, the new Z80 math
routines and the string routines.

Forth850 is built with the [asz80](https://shop-pdp.net/ashtml/asz80.htm)
assembler and aslink linker.

## Fast Z80 Forth system routines

Forth850 uses direct threaded code (DTC).  Faster would be to use subroutine
threaded code (STC), but this would significantly increase the overall code
size and Forth compilation complexity, which are less desirable for a small
Z80-based system.

The following Z80 Forth850 routines I wrote are inspired by the article
[Moving Forth](https://www.bradrodriguez.com/papers/moving1.htm).  However,
I've decided to use a different Z80 register mapping that is more efficient:

- BC: instruction pointer (IP)
- DE: top of stack (TOS)
- IY: address of the "next routine", for `jp (iy)`

By contrast to the article, having the TOS in DE makes it quicker to perform
address arithmetic with the TOS, because we can exchange DE with HL with `ex
de,hl` in just 4 CPU cycles.  Moving BC to HL takes 8 CPU cycles.

I've placed the return stack pointer (RP) in RAM.  There is no advantage to use
register IX for RP as the article suggests.  In fact, the colon call and return
have the same cycle counts, but almost all of the return stack operations, such
as `>R`, require more cycles with the RP in IX compared to the RP in RAM.

A jump to the "next routine" is with `jp (iy)` takes 8 CPU cycles, compared to
a `jp next` that takes 10 cycles.  Inlining the "next routine" eliminates
this overhead, but increases the code size.  Inlining should only be applied to
performance-critical words that are frequently used.  See macros `NEXT` and
`JP_NEXT` defined in the section below.

These critical choices for Forth850 makes it more efficient requiring fewer CPU
cycles to execute Forth core internals and Forth colon definitions than DX
Forth and Z80 Forth for CP/M, CamelForth, Firth, and the Jupiter Ace.  See
[Resources](#forth-resources) for links to Forth implementations.

### Next fetch and execute

Fetching an execution token (xt) from the instruction pointer (IP) address,
incrementing IP and executing the token takes 38 CPU cycles in the "next
routine":

.macro          NEXT
                    ld a,(bc)       ;  7    ;
                    ld l,a          ;  4    ;
                    inc bc          ;  6    ;
                    ld a,(bc)       ;  7    ;
                    ld h,a          ;  4    ;
                    inc bc          ;  6    ; [ip++] -> hl with xt
                    jp (hl)         ;  4(38); jump to hl
    .endif

The "next routine" cycles contribute to the overhead of DTC, which cannot be
removed to speed up DTC execution.  To improve speed by 10% on average, the
fetch and execute routine is inlined with the `NEXT` macro for
performance-critical words.  When performance is not critical, a `JP_NEXT`
macro is used, which simply expands into `jp (iy)` with the IY register
pointing to the "next routine":

.macro          JP_NEXT
                    jp (iy)         ;  8(46); jump to next routine
    .endm

### Colon call and return

Each colon definition in memory starts with a `call docol`.  The `docol`
routine associated with the `(:)` word saves the instruction pointer in BC on
the return stack and pops the new instruction pointer from the parameter stack
(since `call docol` leaves the address after the call on the stack.)  The
routine checks for ON/BREAK key and begins executing the colon definition with
the "next routine":

docol:          ld hl,(rp)      ; 16    ; [rp] -> hl
                    dec hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld (hl),b       ;  7    ;
                    dec hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld (hl),c       ;  7    ; save bc -> [--rp] with caller ip on the return stack
                    ld (rp),hl      ; 16    ; ip - 2 -> rp
                    pop bc          ; 10(68); pop ip saved by call docol
    ;               continue with ON/BREAK key check
    cont:           in a,(0x1f)     ; 11    ; port 0x1f bit 7 is set if ON/BREAK is depressed
                    add a           ;  4    ; test ON/BREAK key
                    jr c,break      ;  7(22); if ON/BREAK pressed then break
    ;               next
    next:           ld a,(bc)       ;  7    ;
                    ld l,a          ;  4    ;
                    inc bc          ;  6    ;
                    ld a,(bc)       ;  7    ;
                    ld h,a          ;  4    ;
                    inc bc          ;  6    ; [bc++] -> hl with xt
                    jp (hl)         ;  4(38); jump to hl

A return from a colon definition with the `(;)` word pops the return
instruction pointer off the return stack to continue executing the caller's
next instruction.

doret:          ld hl,(rp)      ; 16    ; [rp] -> hl
                    ld c,(hl)       ;  7    ;
                    inc hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld b,(hl)       ;  7    ;
                    inc hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld (rp),hl      ; 16(58); restore [rp++] -> bc with ip of the caller
                    NEXT            ; 38    ; continue

A colon call takes 145 cycles (17 + 68 + 22 + 38 cycles) and a colon return
takes 96 cycles (58 + 38 cycles.)  This includes the 38 cycle overhead of the
"next routine" to fetch and execute the next token.

### Variables

A Forth variable leaves its address on the parameter stack.  A `call dovar` is
used to push the address on the stack, which is then retrieved to set the new
TOS:

dovar:          pop hl          ; 10    ; pop hl with pfa addr saved by call dovar
                    push de         ; 11    ; save TOS
                    ex de,hl        ;  4(25); set new TOS to hl with pfa addr
                    NEXT            ; 38    ; continue

Executing a word defined as a variable takes 80 cycles (17 + 25 + 38 cycles),
which includes the "next routine" overhead.

### Constants and values

A Forth constant or value leaves its value on the parameter stack.  A `call
doval` is used to push the address of the constant/value on the stack.  The
constant/value is then fetched:

doval:          pop hl          ; 10    ; pop hl with pfa addr saved by call doval
                    push de         ; 11    ; save TOS
                    ld e,(hl)       ;  7    ;
                    inc hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld d,(hl)       ;  7(41); set [hl] -> de as new TOS
                    NEXT            ; 38    ; continue

Executing a word defined as a constant or value takes 96 cycles (17 + 41 + 38
cycles), which includes the "next routine" overhead.

### Fetch and store

The `@` fetch and `!` store words make good use of `ex de,hl`:

fetch:          ex de,hl        ;  4    ; addr -> hl
                    ld e,(hl)       ;  7    ;

                    NEXT            ; 38    ; continue

store:          pop hl          ; 10    ; pop addr -> hl
                    ex de,hl        ;  4    ; x -> de, addr -> hl
                    ld (hl),e       ;  7    ;
                    inc hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld (hl),d       ;  7    ; de -> [hl] with x

### CREATE with DOES>

A Forth definer word that uses CREATE with DOES> to define new words is
compiled to execute the `(;CODE)` token with label `doscode`, followed by a
`call dodoes` to start interpreting the DOES> code:

doscode:        ld hl,(lastxt+3)        ; LASTXT -> hl with last defined word xt
                    inc hl                  ;
                    ld (hl),c               ;
                    inc hl                  ;
                    ld (hl),b               ; ip -> [LASTXT+1] overwrite call address
                    jr doret                ; (;) return to caller

dodoes:         ld hl,(rp)      ; 16    ; [rp] -> hl
                    dec hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld (hl),b       ;  7    ;
                    dec hl          ;  6    ;
                    ld (hl),c       ;  7    ;
                    ld (rp),hl      ; 16    ; save bc -> [--rp] with old ip on the return stack
                    pop bc          ; 10    ; pop bc with new ip of the DOES> routine saved by call dodoes
                    pop hl          ; 10    ; pop pfa addr
                    push de         ; 11    ; save TOS
                    ex de,hl        ;  4(93); set new TOS to hl with pfa addr
                    NEXT            ; 38    ; continue

A word defined by a CREATE/DOES> definer makes a `call` to the `call dodoes`
routine.  For example, suppose we define `CONSTANT` as follows:

: CONSTANT CREATE , DOES> @ ;
    123 CONSTANT X

then `CONSTANT` and `X` are compiled as:

CONSTANT:       call docol
                    .dw create
                    .dw comma
                    .dw doscode
    CONSTANT_does:  call dodoes
                    .dw fetch
                    .dw doret

X:              call CONSTANT_does
                    .dw 123

Executing `X` takes 192 cycles (17 + 17 + 24 + 38 + 96 cycles.)  When 
more optimally defined as a `CONSTANT` in code, this takes 96 cycles.

### Parsing

Forth words are parsed with my new `CHOP` and `TRIM` words that efficiently
parse and extract white-space-delimited words from the input.

Entry:
- DE with TOS: a char to truncate the string with
- 2OS: string length u1
- 3OS: string address c-addr

Exit:
- DE with TOS: truncated string length u2
- 2OS: string address c-addr

Performance:
21 cycles per character for non-BL char to chop, 40 cycles per character for BL
to chop white space

chop:           ld a,e                  ; char -> a
                    exx                     ; save bc with ip
                    ex af,af'               ; save a with char
                    pop bc                  ; pop u1 -> bc
                    ld e,c                  ;

                    cpir            ; 21/16 ; repeat until a = [hl++] or --bc = 0
                    jr nz,2$                ; if match then

                    jr 1$                   ; not found

Entry:
- DE with TOS: char to trim the string by removing them from its beginning
- 2OS: string length u1
- 3OS: string address c-addr1

Exit:
- DE with TOS: updated string length u2
- 2OS: updated string address c-addr2

Performance:
33 cycles to trim non-BL char, 106 cycles to trim white space with BL char

To parse a white-space-delimited word is efficiently performed with `BL PARSE`
where the `PARSE` word is defined as:

: PARSE     ( char "ccc<char>" -- c-addr u )
      SOURCE
      >IN @ /STRING
      ROT CHOP
      DUP 1+ >IN @ +
      SOURCE NIP UMIN >IN ! ;

To skip input until the next non-white-space character is efficiently performed
with `BL SKIPS`, where `SKIPS` is defined as:

: SKIPS     ( char "<chars>" -- )
      SOURCE >IN @ /STRING
      ROT TRIM
      DROP
      SOURCE DROP - >IN ! ;

### Dictionary search with case insensitive string matching

The `FIND-WORD` word searches the dictionary starting with `CONTEXT` for a
matching word.  The search is case insensitive.  Smudged words are skipped.

Entry:
- DE with TOS: size of the string to search u
- 2OS: address of the string to search c-addr

Exit:
- DE with TOS: 0 = not found, 1 = found immediate, -1 = found (not immediate)
- 2OS: string address if not found or execution token when found

Performance:
95 cycles per dictionary entry,
51 or 102 cycles per character comparison when characters match

findword:       ld a,d                  ;
                    or a                    ; test d = 0 high order byte of u

                    jp z,zero_next          ; if u = 0 then set new TOS to 0

## Z80 integer math routines

I've written the following Z80 math routines.  My objective was to make them
as efficient as possible.  The second objective was to keep the code size small
by using tricks with CPU arithmetic and flags.

### Fast signed/unsigned 16x16->16 bit multiplication

- BC: signed or unsigned multiplier n1
- DE: signed or unsigned multiplicand n2

Exit:
- HL: signed product or unsigned product n3

We can make an additional speed improvement, which only costs us one more
instruction byte.  To calculate the high order byte we do not need to iterate
over all 8 bits of the high order multiplier stored in register c, but only
over the nonzero bits.  We also can ignore the lower order result stored in
register e.  This reduces the max loop iteration cycle time to 32 and 33 per
bit.  Furthermore, the second loop only runs until the last bit of register c
is shifted out.  If register c is zero, the second loop does not execute
thereby saving hundreds of cycles.  We also use jp instead of jr to improve and
balance the cycle time per bit:

The same tricks as the 16x16->16 multiplication method can be used to reduce
the cycle time, but at a cost of increased code size.  We also assign different
registers to the low and high order parts:

Entry:
- BC': low order signed or unsigned multiplicand d1
- DE: high order signed or unsigned multiplicand d1
- HL': low order signed or unsigned multiplier d2
- DE': high order signed or unsigned multiplier d2

The algorithm negates the divisor first to speed up subtraction by adding the
negative of the divisor instead.  Another benefit of using the negated divisor
is that this produces the right carry value to shift into the quotient,
otherwise the carry should be inverted or the resulting quotient must be
inverted.

By moving the first conditional block out of the loop, we can save 5 CPU cycles
on the critical path (the most expensive path through the loop) to reduce to
max 80 cycles per iteration at the cost of making the code more cluttered.

Entry:
- HL: high order dividend ud
- BC: low order dividend ud
- DE: divisor u1

Exit:
- HL: remainder u2
- BC: quotient u3

Performance:
max 80 cycles x 16 iterations = 1280 cycles, excluding entry/exit overhead

By comparison, the CamelForth Z80 code is also fast, but slower than my

entry/exit overhead:

Note: unrolling the loop would improve the speed at the cost of a significant
code size increase, which is undesirable for small memory devices.

### Fast unsigned 32/32->32 bit division and remainder

This algorithm uses the shadow registers BC', DE' and HL'.  Because of this
register pressure, there is little room for further optimization.  Registers
IX and IY cannot be used since they lack the necessary adc and sbc
instructions.

Entry:
- BC: high order dividend ud1
- BC': low order dividend ud1
- DE': high order divisor ud2
- DE: low order divisor ud2

Exit:
- HL': high order remainder ud3
- HL: low order remainder ud3
- BC: high order quotient ud4
- BC': low order quotient ud4

Performance:

## Z80 floating point math routines

I've written a collection of Z80 IEEE 754 single precision floating point math
routines:
- [math.asm](math.asm) (960 bytes of code) a simple version with truncation
- [mathr.asm](mathr.asm) (1085 bytes of code) includes three IEEE 754 rounding
modes, where the default rounding mode is to round to nearest, ties to even;
- [mathri.asm](mathr.asm) (1296 bytes of code) includes the three IEEE 754
rounding modes, and inf/nan and signed zero.  This version is not intended for
Forth850, because Forth850 raises floating point exceptions.

My objective was to make the floating point routines as efficient as possible,
such as by using the shadow registers instead of memory.  No memory is used,
except at most one push-pop pair to move a value between the (shadow)
registers.  The second objective was to keep the code size small by using
tricks with CPU arithmetic and flags.  The floating point library is about 1KB.

Single precision floating point values are stored in registers BC (high order)
and DE (low order) to form a 32 bit float `bcde` and shadow float `bcde'`.

- `fadd`: float `bcde` + `bcde'` -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow
- `fsubx`: float `bcde` - `bcde'` -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow
- `fsuby`: float `bcde'` - `bcde` -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow
- `fneg`: float - `bcde` -> `bcde`; no errors (cf reset)
- `fabs`: float |`bcde`| -> `bcde`; no errors (cf reset)
- `fmul`: float `bcde` * `bcde'` -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow
- `fdivx`: float `bcde` / `bcde'` -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow or when dividing by zero
- `fdivy`: float `bcde'` / `bcde` -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow or when dividing by zero
- `ftoi`: float `bcde` -> signed 32 bit integer `bcde` truncated towards zero; cf set when out of range
- `itof`: signed 32 bit integer `bcde` -> float `bcde`; no errors (cf reset)
- `ftrunc`: float trunc(`bcde`) -> `bcde`; no errors (cf reset)
- `ffloor`: float floor(`bcde`) -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow
- `fround`: float round(`bcde`) -> `bcde`; cf set on overflow
- `fpow10`: 10^`a` * `bcde` -> `bcde` for -128 <= `a` < 39; cf set on overflow
- `atof`: string [`hl`..`hl`+`a`-1] -> float `bcde`; cf set on parsing error and `hl` points after the char
- `ftoa`: float `bcde` -> [`hl`...`hl`+`a`-1] string of digits, exponent `e` and sign `d` bit 7; no errors (flags undefined)
- `fzero`: set `bcde` to 0.0

[mathri.asm](mathr.asm) includes inf/nan and signed zero.  In this version the
routines listed above may return signed inf or nan with cf set to indicate
overflow and errors.  In addition, this version includes the following
routines:

- `ftype`: float `bcde` -> `bcde` unchanged; cf set if `bcde` is nan, cf reset and z set if `bcde` is +/-inf
- `fnan`: set `bcde` to nan; cf set
- `finf`: set `bcde` to inf with sign in register A bit 7 (negative when set); cf set

## Z80 string routines

I've written the following Z80 string routines.  My objective was to make them
as efficient as possible, such as by making the obvious choice to use the `cpi`
and `cpir` Z80 instructions to minimize cycle count.  The second objective was
to keep the code size small by using tricks with CPU arithmetic and flags.

### Fast string comparison

### Fast string search

Naive string search, i.e. not Knuth-Morris-Pratt which is faster but would
require a table and more code.

Entry:
- HL: address of the string searched c-addr1
- IX: size of the string searched u1
- DE: address of the string to search c-addr2
- BC: size of the string to search u2

Exit:
-  F: carry set when no match found
- HL: address of the string position found c-addr3
- BC: size of the remaining characters after the match

Performance:
21 cycles per character to search the first or next character match and 46
cycles per character comparison when characters match

search:         or a                    ; 0 -> cf
                    sbc ix,bc               ; u1 - u2 -> ix
