Initializers are called when the forth kernel is started, to do some
|
||
|
|
initialization stuff.
|
||
|
|
Pro: If code needs initialization you can keep this in place with the code
|
||
|
|
and don't need to patch the kernel itself to do so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are 2 types of initializers. "Normal" and "Late" initializers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since initializers are only called during startup, they don't need a name.

Definition:
|
||
|
|
initializer ( xt -- )
|
||
|
|
late-initializer ( xt -- )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
:noname <definition> ; initializer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:noname
|
||
|
|
some-base initializations
|
||
|
|
; late-initializer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Late initializers are run after all ordinary initializers have
|
||
|
|
been executed.
