Assembler Register defines

The defines (name aliases) for registers 0-31 are predefined for for inline assembler. This can be changed with the directive .def.. Registers 0-31 are divided into 8 registers groups. Luna uses none of the registers as constantly entrained status or pointer. It can therefore be used and changed all the registers at any time.

The Register Groups:

Group Register Name
Low A R0 _LA0
R1 _LA1
R2 _LA2
R3 _LA3
Low B R4 _LB0
R5 _LB1
R6 _LB2
R7 _LB3
Temp 1 R8 _TMP0
R9 _TMP1
R10 _TMP2
R11 _TMP3
Temp 2 R12 _TMPA
R13 _TMPB
R14 _TMPC
R15 _TMPD
High A R16 _HA0
R17 _HA1
R18 _HA2
R19 _HA3
High B R20 _HB0
R21 _HB1
R22 _HB2
R23 _HB3
Low Pointer R24 WL
R25 WH
R26 XL
R27 XH
High Pointer R28 YL
R29 YH
R30 ZL
R31 ZH

Using of the Groups

  • LA,LB,Temp1 and Temp2: Be used for temporary data within the internal functions.
  • HA and HB: Be used as general working registers.
  • Low/High-Pointer: Are classified as Type Flags, array index, as an intermediate for shifting on the stack, as a classical pointer to access memory areas, as well as the call and used within internal functions.
