ASM Optimized routines
Galandros:
There are some cools optimized routines around. Calcmaniac is the recordist in z80, probably. At least in calculators z80 forums is.
On to the code:
--- Code: ---;calcmaniac84
cpHLDE:
or a
sbc hl,de
add hl,de
ret
;Important note: because the code is 3 bytes and a call is 3 bytes, just macro in:
;SPASM, TASM and BRASS compatible, I guess
#define cp_HLDE or a \ sbc hl,de \ add hl,de
;- Reverse a
;input: Byte in A
;output: Reversed byte in A
;destroys B
;Clock cycles: 66
;Bytes: 18
;author: calcmaniac84
reversea:
ld b,a
rrca
rrca
xor b
and %10101010
xor b
ld b,a
rrca
rrca
rrca
rrca
xor b
and %01100110
xor b
rrca
ret
;reverse hl
;curiosity: a easy port of a common reverse A register is more efficient than tricky stuff

;Note the following one is optimized for RPGs menus and the such, it is quite flexible. I am going to use in Lost Legends I ^^
;I started with one which used addition RAM for temporary storage (made by me, too), and optimized for size, speed and no extra memory use! ^.^
;the inc's and dec's were trick to debug -.-", the registers b and c are like counters and flags
;DispHL for games
;input: hl=num, d=row,e=col, c=number of algarisms to skip
;number of numbers' characters to display: 5 ; example: 65000

DispHL_games:

Well, don't try to understand or optimize calcmaniac84 ones. j/k, trying to understand can be harsh (tip: have a good instruction set summary) but teaches some inner details of the z80 asm.
About mine, do your best.
Quigibo:
Here is a little optimization I use but haven't really seen around. When you need a direct key press, you have to wait about 7 clock cycles between setting the port and reading it. Most people just fill in the extra space with a waste instruction like this:
--- Code: ---ld a,xx
out (1),a
ld a,(de)
in a,(1)
and yy
--- End code ---
9 Bytes, 43 T-States.
You can actually use the waste instruction to do something useful. It gives a slight speed increase.
--- Code: ---ld a,xx
out (1),a
ld b,yy
in a,(1)
and b
--- End code ---
9 Bytes, 40 T-States.
calc84maniac:
Small and quick setup for IM 2 (this example sets up vector table at $9900 and interrupt jump at $9a9a, but values can be changed)
--- Code: ---di
ld a,$99
ld bc,$0100
ld h,a
ld d,a
ld l,c
ld e,b
ld i,a
inc a
ld (hl),a
ldir
ld l,a
ld (hl),$c3
inc l
ld (hl),intvec & $ff
inc l
ld (hl),intvec >> 8
im 2
ei
--- End code ---
Galandros:
I found this optimized routine around. It is as far optimized as z80 string copy can get.
--- Code: ---;author: calcmaniac84, I think
;Copy zero terminated string at HL to DE.
StrCopy:
xor a
docopystr:
cp (hl)
ldi
jr nz,docopystr
ret
--- End code ---
These are quite optimized. But may be is possible to optimize further. (speed and size) But it is not needed...
They shift a graphics buffer (optimized to 96x64) up or down by pixels passed in A register.

Very nice! I'll add these to my utils.z80 file that is included in all my app builds.
Anyone wanting to compile a stdlib.c and revive the tisdcc project? j/k
