# jewelforth

its a forth for linux x86\_64. mostly made for personal stuff.
if you use it and it breaks, too bad

public domain

the plan right now is that this will be a DTC forth.
while an STC forth would be nice
(being able to mix assembly and forth would be nice)
having to manually compile in bytes would be annoying.
maybe one day i will do an STC forth...

## forth registers
there are a set of 'virtual registers' (see moving forth part 1)

- W, the working register, is r11.
- X, the secondary working register, is r12.
- IP, the instruction pointer, is r13.
- SP, the working stack pointer, is r14.
- RSP, the return stack pointer, is rsp.
- TOS, the top of the stack, is r15.
