[00:34:02] <tgunr> why do i always get in trouble with SYNTAX:
[00:57:22] <tgunr> I'm trying to make a word that creates a constant with the value precomputed on the stack
[00:57:28] <tgunr> SYNTAX: !CONSTANT: scan-new  2dup swap first define-constant drop ; 
[00:57:49] <tgunr> best I can come up with but have to use a drop
[00:58:07] <tgunr> 32 !CONSTANT: TEST drop

[15:32:45] <tgunr> Could someone help me explain http://polymicro.clarify-it.com/d/hffttz 
[15:33:22] <tgunr> I can paste in the code fine, but USE: logging.syslog gives this crazy error
[15:37:15] <tgunr> Just occurred to me the ! is giving the problem, renamed !CONSTANT: to SETCONSTANT: made the problem go away
[15:37:39] <tgunr> Still open to a better way of doing this, this looks clunky but works

[16:14:04] <Sonderblade> tgunr: i can't tell from the code you have posted what you are trying to do
[16:14:35] <tgunr> Basically a bunch of predefined values for constants
[16:15:15] <tgunr> I wanted value !CONSTANT: name  such that invoking name returns value
[16:16:42] <Sonderblade> constants already have defined values when you declare them with the CONSTANT: syntax
[16:16:45] <tgunr> SO I gave up and tried a creating word that takes a given stack effect
[16:16:47] <Sonderblade> else they wouldn't be constants
[16:17:30] <tgunr> you cant say CONSTANT: TEST 1 3 shift 
[16:18:17] <tgunr> which is equivalent  to : TEST ( -- n ) 1 3 shift ; I know
[16:19:49] <Sonderblade> using literal syntax you can CONSTANT: test $[ 1 3 shift ]
[16:20:07] <tgunr> actually in this case i wanted { n1 n2 n3 n4 } all defined as words which returned the value n 3 shift
[16:20:17] <tgunr> Ah , the missing piece!
[16:20:34] <tgunr> thank you!
[16:21:04] <Sonderblade> np. it is a little clunky and the syntax is not so obvious
[16:21:08] <Sonderblade> maybe it will be fixed with the new parser
[16:21:17] <tgunr> obvioulsy :)
[16:23:25] <tgunr> ok, code fixed, looks much nicer
