I'm planning on going back to 8-bit branching. 16-bit br cells incur
a non-negligible penalty and, while at first 64 words (128 bytes
forward or backward) seemed a bit limiting, I now don't see why one
would ever construct such a big branch. It would be un-forthy.
Also, I looked at using BC instead of IY to hold IP and the transition
would be a lot easier with 8-bit branching.
In this commit, all I do is add overflow checks in IF. The mechanic
below doesn't change. I'll give myself some time to think it over so
that I avoid yet another back and forth.
Prebiously, when encountering an error during a : ; definition from
input buffer, because the input buffer wasn't flushed, we would continue
interpreting and quit the whole program when encountering ;.
Use EXX instead of the stack for HL protection and remove all
spurious uses of chkPS,
I wanted to inline chkPS in next because of its "tight loop" status,
but for reasons I don't understand, doing so breaks Collapse OS.
Later...
Instead of letting each configuration taking care of RDLN$ and
"CollapseOS" prompt, move this to BOOT to simplify xcomp units.
Initialization source code is now only for driver initialization.
During "make updatebootstrap", we use less than 0x20 bytes on the
PSP side and less than 0x40 bytes on the RSP one. 0x100 bytes ought
to be enough for anybody.
Use straight VARIABLE instead of Z80MEM+. Initially, I used this
system to allow z80a to be embedded in a system binary, but now
I don't think it's worth it. Compiled, z80a is 2.5k. Sure, it's a
sizeable amount of RAM, but I think that even with it in RAM, I'll
manage a bootstrap within my most constrained machine, the SMS with
8K.
