POSTPONE
POSTPONE <word>
POSTPONE
replaces most of the functionality of COMPILE
and [COMPILE]
. COMPILE
and [COMPILE]
are used for the same purpose: postpone the compilation behavior
of the next word in the parse area. COMPILE
was designed to be applied to
non-immediate words and [COMPILE]
to immediate words.
Typical use:
: ENDIF POSTPONE THEN ; IMMEDIATE
