( depends: cmp, parse Relink a dictionary by applying offsets to all word references in words of the "compiled" type. A typical usage of this unit would be to, right after a bootstrap-from-icore-from-source operation, identify the root word of the source part, probably "H@", and run " ' thatword RLDICT ". Then, take the resulting relinked binary, concatenate it to the boot binary, and write to boot media. LIMITATIONS This unit can't automatically detect all offsets needing relinking. This is a list of situations that aren't handled: Cells: It's not possible to know for sure whether a cellWord contains an address or a number. They are therefore not automatically relinked. You have to manually relink each of them with RLCELL. In the case of a DOES> word, PFA+2, which is always an offset, is automatically relinked, but not PFA+0. ) ( Skip atom, considering special atom types. ) ( a -- a+n ) : ASKIP DUP @ ( a n ) ( ?br or br or NUMBER ) DUP <>{ 0x67 &= 0x53 |= 0x20 |= 0x24 |= <>} IF DROP 4 + EXIT THEN ( regular word ) 0x22 = NOT IF 2+ EXIT THEN ( it's a lit, skip to null char ) ( a ) 1+ ( we skip by 2, but the loop below is pre-inc... ) BEGIN 1+ DUP C@ NOT UNTIL ( skip null char ) 1+ ; ( Relink atom at a, applying offset o with limit ol.

That results in a dict that can be concatenated to target's prev entry in a more compact way. This copy of data doesn't allocate anything, so H@ doesn't move. Moreover, we reserve 4 bytes at H@ to write our target and offset because otherwise, things get too complicated with the PSP. The output of this word is 3 numbers: top copied address, top copied CURRENT, and then the beginning of the copied dict at the end to indicate that we're finished processing.
