Efficiently set a part of memory to the given (u)word value.
But the most efficient will always be to write a specialized fill routine in assembly yourself!
``rsave()``
Saves the CPU registers and the status flags.
You can now more or less 'safely' use the registers directly, until you
restore them again so the generated code can carry on normally.
Note: it's not needed to rsave() before an asm subroutine that clobbers the X register
(which is used as the internal evaluation stack pointer).
The compiler will take care of this situation automatically.
Note: the 16 bit 'virtual' registers of the Commander X16 are *not* saved.
``rrestore()``
Restores the CPU registers and the status flags from previously saved values.
Note: the 16 bit 'virtual' registers of the Commander X16 are *not* restored.
``read_flags() -> ubyte``
Returns the current value of the CPU status register.

rsave, rsavex
Saves all registers including status (or only X) on the stack
It's not needed to rsave()/rsavex() before an asm subroutine that clobbers the X register
(which is used by prog8 as the internal evaluation stack pointer);
the compiler will take care of this situation automatically.
Note: the 16 bit 'virtual' registers of the Commander X16 are *not* saved.
rrestore, rrestorex
Restore all registers including status (or only X) back from the cpu hardware stack
Note: the 16 bit 'virtual' registers of the Commander X16 are *not* restored.
