extern void *primitives[];

/* Primitives are called with two parameters, the word itself and the current
callstack pointer. The DEFINE_PRIMITIVE() macro takes care of boilerplate to
save the current callstack pointer so that GC and other facilities can proceed
to inspect Factor stack frames below the primitive's C stack frame.

Usage:

DEFINE_PRIMITIVE(name)
{
	... CODE ...
}

Becomes

F_FASTCALL void primitive_name(CELL word, F_STACK_FRAME *callstack_top)
{
	save_callstack_top(callstack_top);
	... CODE ...
}

On x86, F_FASTCALL expands into a GCC declaration which forces the two
parameters to be passed in registers. This simplifies the quotation compiler
and support code in cpu-x86.S.

We do the assignment of stack_chain->callstack_top in a ``noinline'' function
to inhibit assignment re-ordering. */
