The veneer genererated for an IRQ handler by cmhg is something like the above
without the '+' lines. Remove the '-' line and add the '+' lines to produce a
veneer which allows you to return the carry flag.
The declaration the a handler using this looks something like
int c_function(_kernel_swi_regs *r, void *pw, int *carry);
NOTE: you must not write the carry arg unless you are intercepting the call
(ie you are returning 0 from c_function). Doing so will lead to disaster
(it will continue executing at the address you write to carry, so if you
write 0 it will continue executing at location 0!!!). I may consider making
this more robust in a later version.
To claim the vector in your init code
extern int irq_entry;
_kernel_oserror *user_init(char *cmd_tail, int podule_base, void *pw)
{
_kernel_swi_regs r;
...
r.r[0] = 0x0e; /* ReadLineV */
r.r[1] = (int)&irq_entry;
r.r[2] = (int)pw;
_kernel_swi(OS_Claim, &r, &r);
...
return 0;
}
NOTE: If you claim a vector in your initialisation code like this you must
either return 0 indicating no error or release the vector before returning an
error (your finalisation is not called if there is an error in initialisation).
Have fun,
Edward.
