KERNEL

Added PERFORM ( addr -- )

: perform       \ addr --

EXECUTE contents of addr if non-zero.

 

Forced initialisation of SYSPAD in startup and callback entry

code.

 

Optimised more USER variables.

 

Added:

: data-file     \ -- size ; DATA-FILE <filename>

Loads a file to memory at *\fo{HERE} and *\fo{ALLOT}s memory.

The size of the file is returned. This is a good way to load

data directly into the dictionary at compile time. It avoids

having to convert binary data into streams of digits and commas.

For example, DocGen keeps a CSS file in the dictionary:

CREATE BootstrapAddr    \ --

  data-file bootstrap.min.css     \ load the file

constant /Bootstrap               \ keep the length
