Hi,
This is slightly off-topic, but there seems to be lots of different
interrupt attributes in gcc, one for each different processor, which, in
many instances, seem almost the same with different names. also, gcc
could decide on the attribute behaviour depending on the target it
compiles for.
I wonder if there are plans to revise and clean them, or, as there might
be code already using them that should not be broken, define some
unified ones that make more sense.
Just mentioning, as I've programmed for several hardware platforms and
is the kind of thing that looks really ugly in gcc.
Greetings

Would it be so difficult to implement for this architecture ?
There are lots of different ways to implement interrupts on x86
(e.g. what state to save, what registers to set up). It would
be unlikely that gcc would select a subset that worked for most
people.
You're better off with a assembler wrapper that does exactly the
setup you want.
