4FFFH – SUBroutine from the SUBroutine to de-allocate space.
This routine does a little bit of bit manipulation to form an OPCODE of RES nn,B
In summary, RES n,B is a set of OPCODES which are 80H (for bit 0), 88H (for bit 1), 90H (for bit 2), 98H (for bit 3), etc. These are conveniently “10xx x000” in binary, so they tick up based on bits 5, 4, and 3.
So if the value was 100 after the AND 07 in 4FFFH, then 3 lefts would make it, 00 100 000. Then the OR 80H makes it 10 100 000. 10100000 in Hex is A8H. The Z-80 OPCODE of CB A8 is RES 5,B. So 101 would be RES 5,B.
For purposes of this, I will track an example. Let’s say Register A is 0DBH and we’ll track that through…
AND 07H
MASK the value of Register A against 07H (0000 0111). This has the effect of turning off bits 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, leaving only bits 2, 1, 0 active.
07H is 0000 0111 and Register is 0DBH which is 1101 1011. If you AND them together, only the last 3 bits survive, so Register A becomes 0000 0011.
5001
5002
5003
RLCA
RLCA
RLCA
Rotate the bits in A left so that the offset moves bits 2, 1, and 0 to bits 5, 4, and 3 .
Rotating 0000 0011 left 3 times, gives you 00 011 000.
5004
OR 80H
OR Register A against 80H (Binary: 1000 0000) to convert Register A (which is just bits 5, 4, and 3) into an appropriate RES OPCODE.
80H is 1000 0000, so when you OR Register A (00 011 000) by 80H (1000 0000) you get 10 011 000. 10110000 in Hex is 0B0H.
5006
LD (500AH),A
Store the value held in Register A into the memory location 500AH (i.e., the next opcode).
Memory Location 500AH is in the middle of the next 2 instructions which are 0CB nn. Putting 0B0H in 500AH makes the next instruction 0CBH 0B0H, which is the Z-80 OPCODE for RES 6,B
5009
RES nn,B
