Synopsis

Official Name: MemClear

Sets a block of memory to zero.

Inputs

  • HL: Address of memory block.
  • BC: Number of bytes to zero.

Outputs

  • DE: Points to byte after memory block.

Comments

This routine uses an LDIR instruction to clear the memory block, so do not pass it a block length of 0 or 1 or it will erase 65536 bytes.

Example

      ;Clear out pixelShadow
      ld     hl,pixelShadow
      ld     bc,8400
      call   _MemClear
