In the preceding example there are four PUSH instruction macros in a row. For more efficient and compact code, use the technique outlined in Section 8.5, “Multiple Value Pushes.” In certain cases it may also be possible to store critical information within the first 64 locations of X data memory, on the top of the stack, or in an unused register such as N when an extra location is required within a tight loop itself.
8.10 Interrupts
The interrupt mechanism on the DSP56800 is simple, yet flexible. There are two levels of interrupts: maskable and non-maskable. All maskable interrupts on the chip can be masked at one spot in the SR. Likewise, individual peripherals can be individually masked within one register, within the interrupt priority register (IPR), or at the peripheral itself. It is beneficial to have a single register in which all maskable interrupts can be individually masked. This gives the user the capability to set up interrupt priorities within software.
When programming interrupts, it is necessary to correctly set up the following tasks:
1.Initialize and program the peripheral, enabling interrupts within the peripheral.
2.Program the IPR to enable interrupts on that particular interrupt channel.
3.Enable interrupts in the SR.
8.10.1 Setting Interrupt Priorities in Software
This section demonstrates several different styles of coding possible for ISRs on the DSP56800 core. In counting the number of overhead instruction cycles, it is important to remember that the JSR instruction executes in four instruction cycles when entering an interrupt, and that the RTI instruction now takes five instruction cycles to complete.

Interrupts
8.10.1.1 High Priority or a Small Number of Instructions
During ISRs that are short, it is recommended that level 0 interrupts remain disabled. Since the routines are short, it is not nearly so important to interrupt them, because they are guaranteed to complete execution quickly. This is also recommended for ISRs with a very high priority, which should not be interrupted by some other source.

8.10.1.2 Many Instructions of Equal Priority
For ISRs that require a significant number of instruction cycles to complete, it is possible to reduce the interrupt servicing overhead if all interrupts can be considered to have the same priority. This is shown in the following generic ISR.
