jax@well.sf.ca.us (Jack J. Woehr) (12/30/90)
From BASIS14:
8.1.0550 >BODY "to-body" CORE
( w -- a-addr)
a-addr is the parameter filed address corresponding to the execution
token w of a word defined via CREATE.
See also: 5.3.2 Addressable Memory
-----------
There is an ambiguity here ... what is a standard program to expect
in the "pfa" of a word created by create?
In a ROM/RAM system, it's typically a pointer to the actual RAM
storage location which is found in what we Forthers traditionally call
PFA.
There is no difference between a CONSTANT and a VARIABLE in a ROM
system.
In reading the BASIS, one almost infers that >BODY is supposed to
return the address where the actual data is to be stored that corresponds
to the word created by CREATE ... how is this to be resolved?
