( Inner core. This unit represents core definitions that happen right after native definitions. Before core.fs. Unlike core.fs and its followers, this unit isn't self- sustained. Like native defs it uses the machinery of a full Forth interpreter, notably for flow structures. Because of that, it has to obey specific rules: 1. It cannot compile a word from higher layers. Using immediates is fine though. 2. If it references a word from this unit or from native definitions, these need to be properly offsetted because their offset at compile time are not the same as their runtime offsets. 3. Anything they refer to in the boot binary has to be properly stabilized. 4. Make sure that the words you compile are not overridden by the full interpreter. ) : INTERPRET BEGIN WORD (find) IF 1 FLAGS ! EXECUTE 0 FLAGS ! ELSE (parse*) @ EXECUTE THEN AGAIN ;
