1.1       anton      20: 
                     21: 
                     22:   This files defines macros for threading. Many sets of macros are
                     23:   defined. Functionally they have only one difference: Some implement
                     24:   direct threading, some indirect threading. The other differences are
                     25:   just variations to help GCC generate faster code for various
                     26:   machines.
                     27: 
                     28:   (Well, to tell the truth, there actually is another functional
                     29:   difference in some pathological cases: e.g., a '!' stores into the
                     30:   cell where the next executed word comes from; or, the next word
                     31:   executed comes from the top-of-stack. These differences are one of
                     32:   the reasons why GCC cannot produce the right variation by itself. We
                     33:   chose disallowing such practices and using the added implementation
                     34:   freedom to achieve a significant speedup, because these practices
                     35:   are not common in Forth (I have never heard of or seen anyone using
                     36:   them), and it is easy to circumvent problems: A control flow change
                     37:   will flush any prefetched words; you may want to do a "0
                     38:   drop" before that to write back the top-of-stack cache.)
                     39: 
                     40:   These macro sets are used in the following ways: After translation
                     41:   to C a typical primitive looks like
                     42: 
                     43:   ...
                     44:   {
                     45:   DEF_CA
                     46:   other declarations
                     47:   NEXT_P0;
                     48:   main part of the primitive
                     49:   NEXT_P1;
                     50:   store results to stack
                     51:   NEXT_P2;
                     52:   }
                     53: 
                     54:   DEF_CA and all the NEXT_P* together must implement NEXT; In the main
                     55:   part the instruction pointer can be read with IP, changed with
                     56:   INC_IP(const_inc), and the cell right behind the presently executing
                     57:   word (i.e. the value of *IP) is accessed with NEXT_INST.
                     58: 
                     59:   If a primitive does not fall through the main part, it has to do the
                     60:   rest by itself. If it changes ip, it has to redo NEXT_P0 (perhaps we
                     61:   should define a macro SET_IP).
                     62: 
                     63:   Some primitives (execute, dodefer) do not end with NEXT, but with
                     64:   EXEC(.). If NEXT_P0 has been called earlier, it has to perform
                     65:   "ip=IP;" to ensure that ip has the right value (NEXT_P0 may change
                     66:   it).
                     67: 
                     68:   Finally, there is NEXT1_P1 and NEXT1_P2, which are parts of EXEC
                     69:   (EXEC(XT) could be defined as "cfa=XT; NEXT1_P1; NEXT1_P2;" (is this
                     70:   true?)) and are used for making docol faster.
                     71: 
                     72:   We can define the ways in which these macros are used with a regular
                     73:   expression:
                     74: 
                     75:   For a primitive
                     76: 
                     77:   DEF_CA NEXT_P0 ( IP | INC_IP | NEXT_INST | ip=...; NEXT_P0 ) * ( NEXT_P1 NEXT_P2 | EXEC(...) )
                     78: 
                     79:   For a run-time routine, e.g., docol:
                     80:   PFA1(cfa) ( NEXT_P0 NEXT | cfa=...; NEXT1_P1; NEXT1_P2 | EXEC(...) )
                     81: 
                     82:   This comment does not yet describe all the dependences that the
                     83:   macros have to satisfy.
                     84: 
                     85:   To organize the former ifdef chaos, each path is separated
                     86:   This gives a quite impressive number of paths, but you clearly
                     87:   find things that go together.
                     88: 
                     89:   It should be possible to organize the whole thing in a way that
                     90:   contains less redundancy and allows a simpler description.
