test CCR register/ assembler macros

[grzegorzK]

Hi

I have problem: I would like to find out if function is called from ISR or from main task context. I am not sure if it possible at all, but if I do not use nested interrupts than is enough for me to test if global maskable interrupts are masked or not, it is flag I in CCR register. 

I wrote code but I am not sure if is correct, because I do not know how to use assembler with C code, may some one check:

uint8_t CC;
static uint8_t const BIT_I = 0x10;

__asm(pshc);
__asm(movb 1, SP+,CC);
__asm(DES);
__asm(pulc);

if (CC & BIT_I)
{
/* I flag is set */
}

issue for me are assembler macros, may someone looke at this macros if are they correct or there is easier soultion to read CCR register (maped to global memory?)?

Regards

These two lines should suffice

__asm(pshc);

  __asm(movb 1, SP+,CC);

Or without stack manipulations, just

   TFR  CCR, A

   STAA  CC

It doesn't make sense to allocate BIT_I constant in flash. Better define it either as

#define BIT_I 0x40

or

enum {BIT_I=0x40};

why it does not make sense? I do not understand.

Because it's 1) a waste of 1 byte of flash memory to store BIT_I constant, and 2) code is slower. Instead of using immediate addressing (BIT_I constant embedded in CPU instruction and effectively queued in instruction queue), you are forcing CPU to read BIT_I from memory. This is much slower and thus doesn't make sense.
