3.2.2 General-purpose registers
The general-purpose registers consist of eight 8-bit registers (X, A, C, B, E, D, L, and H).
Each register can be used as an 8-bit register, or two 8-bit registers in pairs can be used as a 16-bit register (AX,
BC, DE, and HL).
General-purpose registers can be described in terms of function names (X, A, C, B, E, D, L, H, AX, BC, DE, or
HL) or absolute names (R0 to R7 and RP0 to RP3).
