2021-06-16 09:32:51 <rick_carlino> crc So I imagine that creating a distinction between a device ID and a device handle was so that there could be multiple instances of the same hardware device class, yeah?

2021-06-16 09:33:03 <rick_carlino> Eg: a VM with two block storage devices

2021-06-16 09:34:57 that, and it allows for a VM to selectively enable/disable devices without needing the image to hardcode the order

2021-06-16 09:50:05 <rick_carlino> Ah interesting.

2021-06-16 09:50:30 <rick_carlino> Also, I just raised a ticket on srht. Mostly opinion based.

2021-06-16 09:51:05 <rick_carlino> I have a hunch maybe the -i behavior is intentional to simplify usage with tools like cat and echo?

2021-06-16 10:19:12 I don't think it should be quitting on word not found in interactive mode

2021-06-16 10:24:47 It's not exiting for me in the repl when I enter an unknown word, either with or w/o -i

2021-06-16 10:34:24 <rick_carlino> Oh derp, actually, it exits on syntax errors, sorry.

2021-06-16 10:35:19 <rick_carlino> Sometimes when in REPL mode, I will forget a sigil on a data type (Missing # or " instead of ' on a string)

2021-06-16 10:36:03 <rick_carlino> Oh wait... now it's not doing it. Maybe there are more steps needed to reproduce this one.

2021-06-16 10:36:12 <rick_carlino> It's done it a few times for me. One sec.

2021-06-16 10:36:37 <rick_carlino> Ah you know what? It's not on err:notfound. It's crashing on stack underflow.

2021-06-16 10:37:07 <rick_carlino> The syntax error triggers a word not found error, the REPL recovers, then the proceeding word is executed on an empty stack.

2021-06-16 10:38:05 <rick_carlino> I def. misunderstood the root cause, but the behavior is different than other Forths.

2021-06-16 10:38:17 <rick_carlino> I am heading out but I can update that ticket when I get back

2021-06-16 10:38:32 sounds good, thank you!

ACTION is at work, so can't do much on it right now
