Disk blocks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Disk blocks are Collapse OS' main access to permanent storage.
|
||||||
|
The system is exceedingly simple: blocks are contiguous
|
||||||
|
chunks of 1024 bytes each living on some permanent media such
|
||||||
|
as floppy disks or SD cards. They are mostly used for text,
|
||||||
|
either informational or source code, which is organized into
|
||||||
|
16 lines of 64 characters each.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Blocks are referred to by number, 0-indexed. They are read
|
||||||
|
through BLK@ and written through BLK!. When a block is read,
|
||||||
|
its 1024 bytes content is copied to an in-memory buffer
|
||||||
|
starting at BLK( and ending at BLK). Those read/write
|
||||||
|
operations are often implicit. For example, LIST calls BLK@.

|
When a word modifies the buffer, it sets the buffer as dirty
|
||||||
|
by calling BLK!!. BLK@ checks, before it reads its buffer,
|
||||||
|
whether the current buffer is dirty and implicitly calls BLK!
|
||||||
|
when it is.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The index of the block currently in memory is kept in BLK>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Many blocks contain code. That code can be interpreted through
|
||||||
|
LOAD. Programs stored in blocks frequently have "loader blocks"
|
||||||
|
that take care of loading all blocks relevant to the program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Blocks spanning multipls disks are tricky. If your media isn't
|
||||||
|
large enough to hold all Collapse OS blocks in one unit, you'll
|
||||||
|
have to make it span multiple disks. Block reference in
|
||||||
|
informational texts aren't a problem: When you swap your disk,
|
||||||
|
you mentally adjust the block number you fetch. (cont.)

|
|||||||
|
However, absolute LOAD operations in Collapse OS aren't aware
|
||||||
|
of disk spanning and will not work properly in your spanned
|
||||||
|
system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Although the usage of absolute LOAD calls are minimally used
|
||||||
|
(relative LOADs are preferred), they are sometimes unavoidable.
|
||||||
|
When you span Collapse OS over multiple disks, don't forget to
|
||||||
|
adjust those absolute LOADs.
