Delta Forth .NET

The information in this article applies to:
	Delta Forth .NET 1.0 Beta 2
----

SYMPTOMS:
The IL code generator erroneously builds the ForthStack and ReturnStack objects
as arrays of integer arrays:

	IL_0000: ldc.i4	0x80000
	IL_0005: newarr int32[]		// *
	IL_000a: stsfld	int32[] DeltaForthEngine::ForthStack
	IL_000f: ldc.i4	0x400
	IL_0014: newarr	int32[]		// *
	IL_0019: stsfld	int32[] DeltaForthEngine::ReturnStack

CAUSE:
Human error. :-)

STATUS:
Fixed.

I am a software engineer based in Timișoara, Romania and currently hold the position of software architect for one of the largest companies in the world.

I invented a dialect of the Forth programming language and implemented the first Forth compiler for the .NET platform. I reverse-engineered the communication protocol of some GPS trackers and wrote from scratch a vehicle tracking system that is currently used to track my two cars. I hold a PhD in computer science and I am the author of several papers and a book chapter. In the 90s I wrote several computer viruses in assembly language for my own research and I was the first to devise a technique to deter heuristic virus scanners. In short, a humble man.
