  69. <h4 class="subsection">6.31.19 MSP430 Function Attributes</h4>
  70. <p>These function attributes are supported by the MSP430 back end:
  71. </p>
  72. <dl compact="compact">
  73. <dt><code>critical</code></dt>
  74. <dd><a name="index-critical-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  75. <p>Critical functions disable interrupts upon entry and restore the
  76. previous interrupt state upon exit. Critical functions cannot also
  77. have the <code>naked</code> or <code>reentrant</code> attributes. They can have
  78. the <code>interrupt</code> attribute.
  79. </p>
  80. </dd>
  81. <dt><code>interrupt</code></dt>
  82. <dd><a name="index-interrupt-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  83. <p>Use this attribute to indicate
  84. that the specified function is an interrupt handler. The compiler generates
  85. function entry and exit sequences suitable for use in an interrupt handler
  86. when this attribute is present.
  87. </p>
  88. <p>You can provide an argument to the interrupt
  89. attribute which specifies a name or number. If the argument is a
  90. number it indicates the slot in the interrupt vector table (0 - 31) to
  91. which this handler should be assigned. If the argument is a name it
  92. is treated as a symbolic name for the vector slot. These names should
  93. match up with appropriate entries in the linker script. By default
  94. the names <code>watchdog</code> for vector 26, <code>nmi</code> for vector 30 and
  95. <code>reset</code> for vector 31 are recognized.
  96. </p>
  97. </dd>
  98. <dt><code>naked</code></dt>
  99. <dd><a name="index-naked-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  100. <p>This attribute allows the compiler to construct the
  101. requisite function declaration, while allowing the body of the
  102. function to be assembly code. The specified function will not have
  103. prologue/epilogue sequences generated by the compiler. Only basic
  104. <code>asm</code> statements can safely be included in naked functions
  105. (see <a href="Basic-Asm.html#Basic-Asm">Basic Asm</a>). While using extended <code>asm</code> or a mixture of
  106. basic <code>asm</code> and C code may appear to work, they cannot be
  107. depended upon to work reliably and are not supported.
  108. </p>
  109. </dd>
  110. <dt><code>reentrant</code></dt>
  111. <dd><a name="index-reentrant-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  112. <p>Reentrant functions disable interrupts upon entry and enable them
  113. upon exit. Reentrant functions cannot also have the <code>naked</code>
  114. or <code>critical</code> attributes. They can have the <code>interrupt</code>
  115. attribute.
  116. </p>
  117. </dd>
  118. <dt><code>wakeup</code></dt>
  119. <dd><a name="index-wakeup-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  120. <p>This attribute only applies to interrupt functions. It is silently
  121. ignored if applied to a non-interrupt function. A wakeup interrupt
  122. function will rouse the processor from any low-power state that it
  123. might be in when the function exits.
  124. </p>
  125. </dd>
  126. <dt><code>lower</code></dt>
  127. <dt><code>upper</code></dt>
  128. <dt><code>either</code></dt>
  129. <dd><a name="index-lower-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  130. <a name="index-upper-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  131. <a name="index-either-function-attribute_002c-MSP430"></a>
  132. <p>On the MSP430 target these attributes can be used to specify whether
  133. the function or variable should be placed into low memory, high
  134. memory, or the placement should be left to the linker to decide. The
  135. attributes are only significant if compiling for the MSP430X
  136. architecture.
  137. </p>
  138. <p>The attributes work in conjunction with a linker script that has been
  139. augmented to specify where to place sections with a <code>.lower</code> and
  140. a <code>.upper</code> prefix. So, for example, as well as placing the
  141. <code>.data</code> section, the script also specifies the placement of a
  142. <code>.lower.data</code> and a <code>.upper.data</code> section. The intention
  143. is that <code>lower</code> sections are placed into a small but easier to
  144. access memory region and the upper sections are placed into a larger, but
  145. slower to access, region.
  146. </p>
  147. <p>The <code>either</code> attribute is special. It tells the linker to place
  148. the object into the corresponding <code>lower</code> section if there is
  149. room for it. If there is insufficient room then the object is placed
  150. into the corresponding <code>upper</code> section instead. Note that the
  151. placement algorithm is not very sophisticated. It does not attempt to
  152. find an optimal packing of the <code>lower</code> sections. It just makes
  153. one pass over the objects and does the best that it can. Using the
  154. <samp>-ffunction-sections</samp> and <samp>-fdata-sections</samp> command-line
  155. options can help the packing, however, since they produce smaller,
  156. easier to pack regions.
