Fuzix uses 49g, 141a.
49f and 49f' are I assumne different ?
49g turns up in powf() in the C library severa times, and in soem device
drivers
141a turns up in driver code for the kernel in a few places (eg
sd_spi_init for socz80)
ld c, #0x14
; genLabel
00131$:
;../dev/devsd_discard.c:93: sd_spi_receive_byte(); /* send dummy clocks
-- at le ; genCall
push bc
call _sd_spi_receive_byte
pop bc
;../dev/devsd_discard.c:92: for (n = 20; n; n--)
; genMinus
; genIfx
dec c
; peephole 141a removed redundant transfer and flag setting in a
