Detailed Description

Safe nesting of interrupt disable/enable API.

Deprecated:
These functions are deprecated and marked for removal in a later release. Use the CORE module instead. See Porting from em_int for information on how to convert existing code bases to use CORE .

This module contains functions to safely disable and enable interrupts at the CPU level. INT_Disable() disables interrupts globally and increments a lock level counter (counting semaphore). INT_Enable() decrements the lock level counter and enables interrupts if the counter reaches zero.

These functions would normally be used to secure critical regions and to make sure that a critical section that calls into another critical section does not unintentionally terminate the callee critical section.

These functions should also be used inside interrupt handlers:

*  void SysTick_Handler(void)
*  {
*    INT_Disable();
*      .
*      .
*      .
*    INT_Enable();
*  }
* 

Functions

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t INT_Disable (void)
Disable interrupts.
__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t INT_Enable (void)
Enable interrupts.

Variables

uint32_t INT_LockCnt = 0

Function Documentation

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t INT_Disable ( void )

Disable interrupts.

Deprecated:
Deprecated and marked for removal in a later release. Use new CORE module instead.

Disable interrupts and increment lock level counter.

Returns
Resulting interrupt disable nesting level.

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t INT_Enable ( void )

Enable interrupts.

Deprecated:
Deprecated and marked for removal in a later release. Use the new CORE module instead.
Returns
Resulting interrupt disable nesting level.

Decrement interrupt lock level counter and enable interrupts if counter reached zero.

Variable Documentation

uint32_t INT_LockCnt = 0

An interrupt lock level counter. Set to zero initially because main is normally entered with interrupts enabled.
