RETURNING FROM FORTH WORDS ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to talk about what happens when we EXIT a function. In this diagram QUADRUPLE has called
DOUBLE, and DOUBLE is about to exit (look at where %esi is pointing):
QUADRUPLE
+------------------+
| codeword |
+------------------+ DOUBLE
| addr of DOUBLE ---------------> +------------------+
+------------------+ | codeword |
| addr of DOUBLE | +------------------+
+------------------+ | addr of DUP |
| addr of EXIT | +------------------+
+------------------+ | addr of + |
+------------------+
%esi -> | addr of EXIT |
+------------------+
What happens when the + function does NEXT? Well, the following code is executed.
*/@
; pop return stack into rsi
defcode "EXIT", 4, , EXIT
POP_RSP rsi
NEXT
COMMENT @/*
EXIT gets the old %esi which we saved from before on the return stack, and puts it in %esi.
So after this (but just before NEXT) we get:
QUADRUPLE
+------------------+
| codeword |
+------------------+ DOUBLE
| addr of DOUBLE ---------------> +------------------+
+------------------+ | codeword |
%esi -> | addr of DOUBLE | +------------------+
+------------------+ | addr of DUP |
| addr of EXIT | +------------------+
+------------------+ | addr of + |
+------------------+
| addr of EXIT |
+------------------+
And NEXT just completes the job by, well, in this case just by calling DOUBLE again :-)
LITERALS ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The final point I "glossed over" before was how to deal with functions that do anything
apart from calling other functions. For example, suppose that DOUBLE was defined like this:
: DOUBLE 2 * ;
It does the same thing, but how do we compile it since it contains the literal 2? One way
would be to have a function called "2" (which you'd have to write in assembler), but you'd need
a function for every single literal that you wanted to use.
FORTH solves this by compiling the function using a special word called LIT:
+---------------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| (usual header of DOUBLE) | DOCOL | LIT | 2 | * | EXIT |
+---------------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
LIT is executed in the normal way, but what it does next is definitely not normal. It
looks at %esi (which now points to the number 2), grabs it, pushes it on the stack, then
manipulates %esi in order to skip the number as if it had never been there.
What's neat is that the whole grab/manipulate can be done using a single byte single
i386 instruction, our old friend LODSL. Rather than me drawing more ASCII-art diagrams,
see if you can find out how LIT works:
*/@
defcode "LIT", 3, , LIT
; rsi points to the next command, but in this case it points to the next
; literal 64 bit integer. Get that literal into rax and increment rsi.

COMMENT @/*
MEMORY ----------------------------------------------------------------------
An important point about FORTH is that it gives you direct access to the lowest levels
of the machine. Manipulating memory directly is done frequently in FORTH, and these are
the primitive words for doing it.

COMMENT $/*
BUILT-IN VARIABLES ----------------------------------------------------------------------
These are some built-in variables and related standard FORTH words. Of these, the only one that we
have discussed so far was LATEST, which points to the last (most recently defined) word in the
FORTH dictionary. LATEST is also a FORTH word which pushes the address of LATEST (the variable)
on to the stack, so you can read or write it using @ and ! operators. For example, to print
the current value of LATEST (and this can apply to any FORTH variable) you would do:
LATEST @ . CR
To make defining variables shorter, I'm using a macro called defvar, similar to defword and
defcode above. (In fact the defvar macro uses defcode to do the dictionary header).
