   21:   This files defines macros for threading. Many sets of macros are
   22:   defined. Functionally they have only one difference: Some implement
   23:   direct threading, some indirect threading. The other differences are
   24:   just variations to help GCC generate faster code for various
   25:   machines.
   26: 
   27:   (Well, to tell the truth, there actually is another functional
   28:   difference in some pathological cases: e.g., a '!' stores into the
   29:   cell where the next executed word comes from; or, the next word
   30:   executed comes from the top-of-stack. These differences are one of
   31:   the reasons why GCC cannot produce the right variation by itself. We
   32:   chose disallowing such practices and using the added implementation
   33:   freedom to achieve a significant speedup, because these practices
   34:   are not common in Forth (I have never heard of or seen anyone using
   35:   them), and it is easy to circumvent problems: A control flow change
   36:   will flush any prefetched words; you may want to do a "0
   37:   drop" before that to write back the top-of-stack cache.)
   38: 
   39:   These macro sets are used in the following ways: After translation
   40:   to C a typical primitive looks like
   41: 
   42:   ...
   43:   {
   44:   DEF_CA
   45:   other declarations
   46:   NEXT_P0;
   47:   main part of the primitive
   48:   NEXT_P1;
   49:   store results to stack
   50:   NEXT_P2;
   51:   }
   52: 
   53:   DEF_CA and all the NEXT_P* together must implement NEXT; In the main
   54:   part the instruction pointer can be read with IP, changed with
   55:   INC_IP(const_inc), and the cell right behind the presently executing
   56:   word (i.e. the value of *IP) is accessed with NEXT_INST.
   57: 
   58:   If a primitive does not fall through the main part, it has to do the
   59:   rest by itself. If it changes ip, it has to redo NEXT_P0 (perhaps we
   60:   should define a macro SET_IP).
   61: 
   62:   Some primitives (execute, dodefer) do not end with NEXT, but with
   63:   EXEC(.). If NEXT_P0 has been called earlier, it has to perform
   64:   "ip=IP;" to ensure that ip has the right value (NEXT_P0 may change
   65:   it).
   66: 
   67:   Finally, there is NEXT1_P1 and NEXT1_P2, which are parts of EXEC
   68:   (EXEC(XT) could be defined as "cfa=XT; NEXT1_P1; NEXT1_P2;" (is this
   69:   true?)) and are used for making docol faster.
   70: 
   71:   We can define the ways in which these macros are used with a regular
   72:   expression:
   73: 
   74:   For a primitive
   75: 
   76:   DEF_CA NEXT_P0 ( IP | INC_IP | NEXT_INST | ip=...; NEXT_P0 ) * ( NEXT_P1 NEXT_P2 | EXEC(...) )
   77: 
   78:   For a run-time routine, e.g., docol:
   79:   PFA1(cfa) ( NEXT_P0 NEXT | cfa=...; NEXT1_P1; NEXT1_P2 | EXEC(...) )
   80: 
   81:   This comment does not yet describe all the dependences that the
   82:   macros have to satisfy.
   83: 
   84:   To organize the former ifdef chaos, each path is separated
   85:   This gives a quite impressive number of paths, but you clearly
   86:   find things that go together.
   87: 
   88:   It should be possible to organize the whole thing in a way that
   89:   contains less redundancy and allows a simpler description.
