Boot words (B305)
|
|
|
|
Then come the implementation of core Forth words in native
|
|
assembly. Performance is not Collapse OS' primary design goal,
|
|
so we try to keep this section to a minimum: we much prefer
|
|
to implement our words in Forth.
|
|
|
|
However, some words are in this section for performance
|
|
reasons. Sometimes, the gain is too great to pass up.
|
|
|
|
Core words (low) (B350)
|
|
|
|
Then comes the part where we begin defining words in Forth.
|
|
Core words are designed to be cross-compiled (B260), from a
|
|
full Forth interpreter. This means that it has access to more
|
|
than boot words. This comes with tricky limitations. (cont.)
