#145490 - you are right
Responding to: ???'s previous message
No I don't have emulator.

And you are right ! :)

Just explain me the reason of what you told in the quote below. I've been using CPU for 20 years now and still don't see why we could not re-enter an ISR. And worse, I did it lots of times.

Whatever means you use, if Atmel has not (as usual) screwed up, this will not be true.

An interrupt interrupting itself would make total havoc in countless designs.

I would not touch an Atmel with a ten foot pole, but maybe someone that does not have this adversity could confirm "you MUST be wrong"


You have a strange understanding of the CPU design. Nobody would design a core tracking the origin of every exception (IT is an exception). We only care of priority levels. There are plenty of reasons to re-enter an ISR. Such implementation is cheaper in gates and more flexible.
And just a detail: a customer would laugh at me if I had presented to him a CPU core which hangs up when an exception is re-entered. It would be a bug.
