Figure 5-8 Contention between Interrupt and Interrupt-Disabling Instruction
This type of contention will not occur if the interrupt is masked when the interrupt enable bit or
flag is cleared to 0.
5.5.2 Instructions that Inhibit Interrupts
The LDC, ANDC, ORC, and XORC instructions inhibit interrupts. When an interrupt occurs,
after determining the interrupt priority, the interrupt controller requests a CPU interrupt. If the
CPU is currently executing one of these interrupt-inhibiting instructions, however, when the
instruction is completed the CPU always continues by executing the next instruction.
