36 : anton 1.9 \ Ok, here's the story about how we get to the native code for the
37 :     \ recovery code in case of a THROW, and why there is all this funny
38 :     \ stuff being compiled by TRY and RECOVER:
39 :    
40 :     \ Upon a THROW, we cannot just return through the ordinary return
41 :     \ address, but have to use a different one, for code after the
42 :     \ RECOVER. How do we do that, in a way portable between the various
43 :     \ threaded and native code engines? In particular, how does the
44 :     \ native code engine learn about the address of the native recovery
45 :     \ code?
46 :    
47 :     \ On the Forth level, we can compile only references to threaded code.
48 :     \ The only thing that translates a threaded code address to a native
49 :     \ code address is docol, which is only called with EXECUTE and
50 :     \ friends. So we start the recovery code with a docol, and invoke it
51 :     \ with PERFORM; the recovery code then rdrops the superfluously
52 :     \ generated return address and continues with the proper recovery
53 :     \ code.
54 :    
55 :     \ At compile time, since we cannot compile a forward reference (to the
56 :     \ recovery code) as a literal (backpatching does not work for
57 :     \ native-code literals), we produce a data cell (wrapped in AHEAD
58 :     \ ... THEN) that we can backpatch, and compile the address of that as
59 :     \ literal.
60 :    
61 :     \ Overall, this leads to the following resulting code:
62 :    
63 :     \ ahead
64 :     \ +><recovery address>-+
65 :     \ | then |
66 :     \ +-lit |
67 :     \ (try) |

69 :     \ (recover) |
70 :     \ ahead |
