#85836 - simulate an LCALL @A+DPTR instruction?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Ian Bell said:
Doing a computed ajmp is quite straight forward using a table and the JMP @A+DPTR instruction. However this requires the code that is jumped to to know where to jump to after it has finished.

Isn't that always the case with any jump - computed or otherwise?

Not quite sure why this is a problem?

This could be achieved by pushing the return address onto the stack before executing the JMP @A+DPTR.

Ah - You mean you want to simulate an LCALL @A+DPTR instruction?

Are there any risks in doing this or is it a commonly used technique?

The usual risks of doing anything with the stack...
