There's a new release of SjASM, the xl2s Z80 cross assembler for PC. New in this version:

  • Fixed a structure initialization bug
  • DZ and ABYTEZ directives to define null terminated strings
  • Some LD, LDI and LDD 'instructions
  • And, as always, some minor bugfixes

wasn't LDI something like?:

ld a,(hl)
ld (de),a
inc de
inc hl
dec bc
ld a,c
or b

More or less. But I guess LDI A,(HL) rather just does more simple something like ld a,(hl) : inc hl... Otherwise it should be a macro, because hiding that kind of large blocks of code under one instruction would be confusing.

LDI is more like:
ld (de),(hl)
inc hl
inc de
dec bc
wasn't the R800 mnemonic something like MOVE (DE++),(HL++)?

And indeed, LDI A,(HL) is just:
ld a,(hl)
inc hl

And I have to say I use these 'new' (ahum) instructions quite a lot myself now...

flyguille: thanks Smile

Something like that, sjoerd.. But R800 uses .de and .hl and square brackets [ ]

I wonder if anyone would be interested in support for the real R800 mnemonics ^^;

Don't think so... Although I like the ++ syntax Smile.

I have removed a stupid bug, so there is a new version on the site.
