6.4.2.20 NDS32 Attributes

These attributes are supported by the NDS32 back end:

exception

This attribute applies to functions.

Use this attribute on the NDS32 target to indicate that the specified function is an exception handler. The compiler will generate corresponding sections for use in an exception handler.

interrupt

This attribute applies to functions.

On NDS32 target, this attribute indicates that the specified function is an interrupt handler. The compiler generates corresponding sections for use in an interrupt handler. You can use the following attributes to modify the behavior:

nested

This interrupt service routine is interruptible.

not_nested

This interrupt service routine is not interruptible.

nested_ready

This interrupt service routine is interruptible after PSW.GIE (global interrupt enable) is set. This allows interrupt service routine to finish some short critical code before enabling interrupts.

save_all

The system will help save all registers into stack before entering interrupt handler.

partial_save

The system will help save caller registers into stack before entering interrupt handler.

reset

This attribute applies to functions.

Use this attribute on the NDS32 target to indicate that the specified function is a reset handler. The compiler will generate corresponding sections for use in a reset handler. You can use the following attributes to provide extra exception handling:

nmi

Provide a user-defined function to handle NMI exception.

warm

Provide a user-defined function to handle warm reset exception.
