Another note: jsr/ret are not prepared to do inter-segment branches. A compiled code segments is currently an entirely new packfile (it should be only a new packfile directory finally) with its own const table and bytecode segment. The C<jsr> or C<jump> opcodes have no means to switch to a different bytecode segment. Also C<ret> gets just a simple address and can't switch back the segment of the caller. I only see 2 things: 1) you use invokecc/invoke P1, that is you compile: .pcc_sub _compiled_word_n: dosomething invoke P1 after compilation you can obtain the Sub via: find_global P0, "_compiled_word_n" invokecc # call it 2) We expand C<jsr> syntax: jsr "_the_sub" # push addr_next; push current_seg which could find the Sub PMC and branch to it, and C<ret> has to check that there are 2 return words on the stack, or we have an new opcode C<retfar> that does it. leo
