3.5.6 Computed Long Calls and Jumps

The instruction to set the XPC is privileged to so that a computed long call or jump can be
made. This would be done by the following sequence.

LD xpc,a

JP (HL)

In this case, A has the new XPC, and HL has the new PC. This code should normally be
executed in the root segment so as not to pull the memory out from under the JP (HL)
instruction.

A call to a computed address can be performed by the following code.

; A=xpc, IY=address

;

LD A,newxpc

LD IY,newaddress

LCALL DOCALL ; call utility routine in the root

;

; The DOCALL routine

DOCALL:

LD xpc,a

; SET xpc

JP (IY) ; go to the routine
