Architectural Features
- The RS08 core does not manage a stack. During subroutine calls, it preserves a return address in a Shadow Program Counter register. If a subroutine in turn calls another subroutine, it can preserve the return address in a local variable, call subroutines as necessary, and restore the saved address just before returning.
- The core's Status register has Carry and Zero flag bits. Overflow and Negative, usually found in other cores, are not present.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
