1.9 anton 28: \ Ok, here's the story about how we get to the native code for the
29: \ recovery code in case of a THROW, and why there is all this funny
30: \ stuff being compiled by TRY and RECOVER:
31:
32: \ Upon a THROW, we cannot just return through the ordinary return
33: \ address, but have to use a different one, for code after the
34: \ RECOVER. How do we do that, in a way portable between the various
35: \ threaded and native code engines? In particular, how does the
36: \ native code engine learn about the address of the native recovery
37: \ code?
38:
39: \ On the Forth level, we can compile only references to threaded code.
40: \ The only thing that translates a threaded code address to a native
41: \ code address is docol, which is only called with EXECUTE and
42: \ friends. So we start the recovery code with a docol, and invoke it
43: \ with PERFORM; the recovery code then rdrops the superfluously
44: \ generated return address and continues with the proper recovery
45: \ code.
46:
47: \ At compile time, since we cannot compile a forward reference (to the
48: \ recovery code) as a literal (backpatching does not work for
49: \ native-code literals), we produce a data cell (wrapped in AHEAD
50: \ ... THEN) that we can backpatch, and compile the address of that as
51: \ literal.
52:
53: \ Overall, this leads to the following resulting code:
54:
55: \ ahead
56: \ +><recovery address>-+
57: \ | then |
58: \ +-lit |
59: \ (try) |
60: \ ... |
61: \ (recover) |
