Operands

<ea>
An operand using one of the instruction’s supported addressing modes, such as d0, (a0)+ or 4(a1). It may name a register, memory or an immediate value. More
An
An address register, a0 to a7; sp is another name for a7. More
#imm
An immediate value written after #: a number, character or label, such as #10, #$FF or #'a'. It must fit the operation’s size: byte -128 to 255, word -32768 to 65535, or long -2147483648 to 4294967295; signed and unsigned spellings are accepted. More

It does not change the SR. When using word size, the first operand is sign extended to long and the second is read and written as a long.

* --- Word is sign-extended before adding ---
move.l #$10000, a0
adda.w #$FFFE, a0 ; $FFFE sign-extends to $FFFFFFFE (-2)

* --- Long adds as-is ---
move.l #$10000, a1
adda.l #$10000, a1

* --- Does NOT affect flags (compare with add) ---
move.l #$10000, d0
move.l #$10000, a2
add.l #$F0000000, d0 ; carry set
adda.l #$F0000000, a2 ; flags unchanged
