I have not seen one either; however, in PE you can open a new window (blank) and then push "Syntax" and you will note that a blank program requires 3 bytes. Now, type any instruction and press Syntax to note the usage.My beloved 08m2 program space is is filling up. I looked around but could not find a table or list of the basic command with their respective cost in term of memory space
Is there such a list somewhere?
thanks
This is especially useful when you are trying to determine which code to utilize when there are more than one way to code a feature.
Example: (remember to add 3 bytes overhead):
bo = 1 ... 2 bytes
w0 = 65000 ... 4 bytes
sertxd (b0) ... 2 bytes
sertxd (w0) ... 2 bytes
etc.

SeeYes I have been doing that but it is tedious.
Maybe I will compile such a list
Also a list of program space saving technique would be nice. for instance which type of loops is less hungry, what instructions are best for standard purpose etc
