Re: macros vs sizes of various int/ptr types
One reason I used explicit type definitions for INT_64 and PTR_64 is that SmartFirmware can be built with either 32-bit or 64-bit cells on hosts that support both. Thus I can't use the sizeof operators. Also sizeofs within #if macro expressions aren't supported by most compilers.
SF doesn't use gcc's label/tables feature either. We just use a separate C function per Forth word. It's more than fast enough for boot-up purposes, but then almost all of the real work is done in C rather than Forth in any case.
Just FYI, SF has been compiled with various C compilers including TI's 34020 graphics processor compiler, Metrowerks for several targets, Visual C, Apple's MPW C, and Sun's C/C++ compiler. Barring a few key machine-dependent assembly stubs, of course.
