PutTile16x16 Pixels + Attributes

[britlion]

Code:

ld de, (SCREEN_ADDRESS) add hl, de ;; Total T-States = 84 T-States ;; (implicit RET) + 10 T-States = 94 T-States end asm END FUNCTION

So this function, adapted for a configurable screen address is 8 T-states faster than the original in ZX Basic (only 5 if the commented optimization is done) :?:

I haven't looked yet, but I will. Could the assembler/compiler optimize this by KNOWING if the screen address is changed ever? I would consider it unusual code to move it on the spectrum?
(I know, multi-platform). One optimization would be spectrum specific. If screen address=16384, then go short on the code :-)

Incidentally, I was looking at some asm:

Code:

poke Uinteger @ptDatapoint+3,value becomes: ld hl, __LABEL__ptDataPoint inc hl inc hl inc hl

Can't the assembler deal with

Code:

ld hl, __LABEL__ptDataPoint+3

Being able to do that would reduce the code quite a lot, I would think - if the assembler could code the actual value there, instead of the base and then inc three times.
