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