JSL (Jump to Subroutine Long) is a 65c816 instruction that transfers control to a subroutine, possibly one in a different bank.
No flags are affected.
Syntax
JSL long
JSL works even in emulation mode, but it is intended primarily for native mode.
Execution Sequence
- the current program counter bank register pushed onto the stack
- the return address (JSL's opcode location plus 3) is pushed onto the stack
- control is transferred to the target location
JSR is a smaller/faster alternative if you know the subroutine is in the same bank as the call.
