| 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. |
