<dave0> maw
<lispmacs[work]> hi, I was just wondering: it is fairly common, if you need some array space briefly, to just allot and - allot the memory while inside a word?

<MrMobius> you cant really do that since the array and word youre defining share the same ditionary
<MrMobius> unless you mean after youre done defining all words
<dave0> lispmacs[work]: it sounds sensible but i'm a newbie
<xybre> Since allot doesn't assign a word, why would the dictionary matter?
<dave0> it's a really fast way to get some temporary space.. just an add to allocate and a sub to free
<lispmacs[work]> thinking it through, you would have to be careful in embedded applications, so you weren't doing a lot of writes to flash code space
<lispmacs[work]> my mind thinking in the context of flashforth
<lispmacs[work]> it's a little bit confusing to me
<lispmacs[work]> but according to FF reference sheet, `,' appends `x' to the current data section
<lispmacs[work]> and the dictionary is stored in flash memory
<lispmacs[work]> so storing data that way temporarily would burn out your flash memory
<lispmacs[work]> if you called that word regularly
<lispmacs[work]> or is the data section outside of the dictionary?
<lispmacs[work]> need more sleep
<lispmacs[work]> wait, in flashforth, there are keywords to set which memory type data section is currently referring to - ram, eeprom, or flash
