Re: [gforth] How to get stdout into gforth

Almost, but there’s a critical mistake covering up a problem.

 

    ( target ) COUNT coverage_out C@ /STRING TYPE

 

Produces:

 

CTS Tests API-NDK Coverage Report: file:///home/druffer/master/out/host/linux-x86/cts-api-coverage

/test-coverage.html ok

 

Which has an extra new line. ;(

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. While OPEN-PIPE sounds like the best place for me to investigate, it turns out that the Makefile logic I was trying to convert didn’t actually need to pull the pwd output into gforth. I translated:

 

echo $(1): file://$$(cd $(dir $@); pwd)/$(notdir $@)

 

from Makefile to gforth as:

 

COMBINED-STRING print_coverage_out_dir +," cd " coverage_out +, +," ; pwd"

CR ( a n ) TYPE ." : file://" print_coverage_out_dir COUNT SYSTEM $? THROW

( target ) COUNT coverage_out COUNT /STRING TYPE

 

And I got:

 

CTS Tests API-NDK Coverage Report: file:///home/druffer/master/out/host/linux-x86/cts-api-coverage

 

Identical to the original, so it is sufficient, for now. I have some other work where OPEN-PIPE might be useful, but I’ve got enough for the immediate issue to move onto the next problems.

 

Thanks again!

You would use OPEN-PIPE instead of SYSTEM, but I don't have an example.

INFILE-EXECUTE is for making any file temporarily the standard input

(so that KEY reads from this file).  But for your problem, you need to

get the output of pwd into gforth.  A pipe does that.

You could use the C interface to call chdir(), getcwd(), and then

somehow chdir() back.
