18:42 <MrMobius> how do I mark a word so it executes in compile mode and interpret mode?

18:42 <MrMobius> then checks state and decides what to do

18:43 <cmtptr> immediate

18:43 <cmtptr> : foo ; immediate

19:21 <MrMobius> are there any compile-only words that aren't immediates?

19:22 <MrMobius> i mean built in primitives. trying to think when you wouldnt want them to be

19:24 <cmtptr> depending on how your interpreter works you could implement ['] as not immediate

19:24 <cmtptr> ['] would get compiled and when it's executed it could just read the next value from the execution stream and push it

19:25 <cmtptr> which, come to think of it, is the same as (lit) or whatever the underlying numeric literal word is called, if everything is one cell in size

19:26 <MrMobius> hmm ya

23:33 <MrMobius> im trying to figure out the best way to do variables in a token threaded forth

23:34 <MrMobius> in immediate mode it looks for the variable data after skipping the header and in the thread the data comes immediately after

23:35 <MrMobius> so I have 2 rountines and switch out the token when it's compiled which doesnt seem ideal
