Re: GO for Debug + App

Please tell me why you recommend the [IF]. I'm short of understanding.
APP-LOOP would always be defined so the [IF] wouldn't branch. During
development that's what is interactively typed in after TARGET READY; after
production that's what is supposed to run automatically.

Maybe I don't understand how SwiftX's handshaking partner works, the one
that runs on the development hardware and talks to SwiftX on the PC. Isn't
that called DEBUG-LOOP ? I have a directory supplied by Forth Inc. that
contains my platform minimals: for us its called platform\cpu30\; for other
folks, its like SwiftX\Src\68K\SBC332\. With cpu30\project.swx a target.bin
and target.s19 are created for the app.f that contains GO DEBUG-LOOP . I
think that is what we put on the development board flash to handshake with
SwiftX.

Consider something like this:

[DEFINED] APP-LOOP [IF]

: GO ( -- ) ?XTL IF DEBUG-LOOP THEN APP-LOOP ;

[ELSE]

: GO ( -- ) DEBUG-LOOP ;

[THEN]
