Re: [cc65] 16-bit writes on 65816

Ah, I was under the impression that the 65816 was mostly backwards 
compatible (it can execute the same opcodes) but there must be some 
trickery there. I try to call my C function from asm but the runtime for 
comparing 16-bit values (tosicmp) seems to have issues as my for loop 
short circuits and never runs the code in the inner body:
  int i;
  for(i=0; i<512; i++) ...
I even made sure that before i jsr into my C function, I did:
sep     #$30
.a8
.i8

So that the registers would be in the traditional 8-bit mode.

Oh well, I guess I'll just do this project the old fashioned way...
