LD SP,????

Hi,

Just wondered, when you're writing your assembly programs, is it acceptable to use LD SP,$10F0 ? i.e. use the Monitor's work area as a stack? Or should this be avoided?

That's a valid setting because there are some room before $10F0 for a small stack. Obviously, if you are programming a recursive code or need larger stack, you'll need to point SP somewhere else.

At least, when just calling monitor routines in your code and using static variables, it should be enough. But for more elaborate, I will set SP somewhere else.

Thanks. That's what I thought anyway. I didn't want to find myself overwriting anything that the Monitor would use the stack for. But I guess if you are resetting the SP to $10F0 like this then the Monitor routines won't change it at all and it'll all just be used correctly.
