setBth

Function: setBth
file: job.t
package: muf
status: alpha

The setBth function accepts a stack offset atop a value, and overwrites the indicated data stack offset with the given value, taking the logical bottom element of the stack as zero. This is an obscure way of hacking the contents of the data stack, and not generally recommended, but occasionally useful.

Note that the logical bottom of stack may not be the physical bottom of stack: Some operations such as thunk evaluation restrict the accessable stack locations to a subset of those physically present.
