I'm using Keil compiler for 8051Warp uP. I would like to make a jump from an interrupt routine back to the main function, this way: main () { init_function(); if (setjmp(env)!=0) { // Recovery procedure here ... } while (1) { // body of my program ... } } void irq (void) interrupt (12) { if (condition) longjmp (env,1); } void init_function() { IE = 0xA0; IEN1 = 0xC4; IP = 0x00; IP1= 0x40; } I'm experiencing the following problem. Right after the longjmp instruction, the execution actually restarts at the setjmp instruction point (as i wish), but no more interrupt can be serviced after this jump. It looks like the IE.7 bit has been reset in some way. Anyway, even if i set the IE / IE1 registers after the jump, no more interrupt are serviced by the uP. Somebody could help me? Thanx.
Pietro, the thing is that the controller doesn't know that the interrupt service routine is finished as no RETI instruction has been executed. There is a way to do what you want but only with direct assembly code insertion. In general, such tricks are considered "Bad programming practice", but I did it and it works. Regards, M.
