#164076 - but will need a lot of pushes and pops Responding to: ???'s previous message |
x86 processors will respond to interrupts in the next instruction. It is up to the operating system to determne what, if anything, happens next.
The issue is not only when a processor responds, but also how much doughnut there has to be around the hole. by one meaning of 'respond': the '51 'responds' after one setb and exit the 'response' by one setp the x86 'responds' after a lot of pushes and exit the 'response' by a lot of pops Erik |
