Re: [cc65] CC65 and Stack Pointer

oz,

Thank you for your quick reply. I really appreciate it.

What locations in the zero page does CC65 use?  Could you tell me which 
document has that information? Also I wonder why our calculator works 
even without saving registers and zero page locations.  We are calling a 
c function within an interrupt and I am pretty sure that it will use 
real 6502 registers. I guess we only have "while(1);" in our main function.

Now, I am just curios. Why does cc65 generate codes which depend on 
subroutines like pushax and the secondary stack?  I understand Small-c 
implementation assumes a primary and a secondary registers.  I guess the 
reason is to make porting the c compiler to different architectures 
easier. Is it one of the reasons?

best regards,
