Abstract: . The Forth engine discussed in this paper is written in GNU C, which provides several extensions that are important for Forth implementation. The indirect threaded Forth engine is completely machine-independent, direct threading requires a few machine-specific lines for each machine. Using a portable language like GNU C encourages producing an engine with many primitives. In order to make the development of primitives easier and less error-prone, an automatic tool generates most of the code... (Update)

.... We have used vmgen to implement two interpreters: Gforth is a portable product quality interpretive implementation of Forth [Ert93] Forth is a stack based language, and Gforth has three programmervisible stacks (data stack, return stack, and floating point stack)...
...portability to a wide range of machines. To meet the portability goal, we decided to stay with a threaded code engine compiled with GCC [Ert93]; to regain ground lost on the efficiency front, we decided to combine sequences of primitives into superinstructions. This technique...
