4. Call INTERPRET
|
|
|
|
In other words, BOOT interprets bytes directly following
|
|
CURRENT as Forth source code. This code will typically
|
|
initialize all subsystems and then call RDLN$. As soon as
|
|
this is called, INTERPRET will begin reading from RDLN< which
|
|
reads from KEY.
|
|
|
|
In the "/emul" binaries, "HERE" is readjusted to "CURRENT @" so
|
|
that we don't have to relocate compiled dicts. Note that in
|
|
this context, the initialization code is fighting for space
|
|
with HERE: New entries to the dict will overwrite that code!
|
|
Also, because we're barebone, we can't have comments. This can
|
|
lead to peculiar code in this area where we try to "waste"
|
|
space in initialization code.
