Enumeration Type Documentation

Vector

enum Core::Interrupt::Vector

List of used interrupt vectors.

The exception vectors from 0 to 31 are reserved for traps, faults and aborts. Their behavior is different for each exception, some push an error code, some are not recoverable.

The vectors from 32 to 255 are user defined interrupts.

Function Documentation

disable()

bool Core::Interrupt::disable ( void  )

inline

Forbid interrupts.

Prevents interrupt handling by executing the instruction cli. Will return the previous interrupt state.

Returns

true if interrupts were enabled at the time of executing this function, false if they were already disabled.

See also

ISDMv2, Chapter 3. CLI - Ckear Interrupt Flag

enable()

void Core::Interrupt::enable ( )

inline

Allow interrupts.

Enables interrupt handling by executing the instruction sti. Since this instruction is delayed by one cycle, an subsequent nop is executed (to ensure deterministic behavior, independent from the compiler generated code)

A pending interrupt (i.e., those arriving while interrupts were disabled) will be delivered after re-enabling interrupts.

See also

ISDMv2, Chapter 4. STI - Set Interrupt Flag

isEnabled()

bool Core::Interrupt::isEnabled ( )

inline

Check if interrupts are enabled on this CPU.

This is done by pushing the FLAGS register onto stack, reading it into a register and checking the corresponding bit.

Returns

true if enabled, false if disabled

restore()

void Core::Interrupt::restore ( bool  val )

inline

Restore interrupt.

Restore the interrupt state to the state prior to calling disable() by using its return value.

Note

This function will never disable interrupts, even if val is false! This function is designed to allow nested disabling and restoring of the interrupt state.

Parameters

val	if set to true, interrupts will be enabled; nothing will happen on false.
