Note that a task awaiting an interrupt will exhibit some latency between the occurence of the interrupt and
when the waiting task begins execution. The latency depends on a number of factors including the
specific instruction being executed at the time of the interrupt and the number and frequency of system
interrupts that need to be handled. Instructions that may take a long time to execute such as
like assigning a value to a variable.
Examples
Resource Usage
Only one task can be awaiting each interrupt at any particular time. If a task is already awaiting the
specified interrupt, another call to WaitForInterrupt() for that same interrupt will return immediately.
Also, on the ZX-24 the interrupt pins are common with I/O pins as shown in the table below. This means
that you should set the corresponding pin to be an input (either tri-state or pull-up) when you want to use
WaitForInterrupt(). Note, however, that if the pin is an output and a task is awaiting an interrupt, a
transition on the corresponding output can generate the interrupt for the waiting task. This may be of use
in special situations as a software interrupt.
