Utilizing the three guiding principles, I would modify the 'master' word that allocates RAM to print out the current pointer and the name of the word currently being defined then log the console to a file during compilation. If you have your application factored into a number of files, it may be enough to print out the pointer and filename at the beginning (or even the end) of each file. This can just be a line of immediate code pasted into the file, perhaps turned on and off with conditional compilation.

     I think it's easier to do it at compile time than to try to walk the dictionary and figure it out after the fact.

Subject: [swiftx] How to Print a Memory Map

Is there a way to get a map of what RAM memory locations are referenced
by what VARIABLE, BUFFER, CELL, etc allocations in UDATA (my CPU doesn't
have IDATA)? I've ran out of RAM and need to figure out what is being
allocated but not used, or has been allocated too much. Unfortunately,
there's no equivalent of STRIP for RAM (that I know of).

Thanks,

  Jeff.
