This is an optimized addAtoHL. It is a little faster and doesn't need another 16-bit register.
Also it can be changed to add A to any 16-bit register. The only down side is one extra byte.
Use it as a subroutine (don't forget the ret) or macro.
Normal way:
ld d,$00 ld e,a add hl,de ;4 bytes and 22 clock cycles
Alternatives:
addAtoHL: add a,l ld l,a adc a,h ;^ these two lines sub l ;v increase h if there is carry ld h,a ;5 bytes and 20 clock cycles ;but no other 16-bit register messed up
Thanks to CoBB.
Another alternate way which uses branching and saves 1 T-state on one path (when carrying to h) :
addAtoHL: add a,l ld l,a jr nc, $+3 inc h ;5 bytes, 19/20 clock cycles
