3.8 Critical Functions</A>

<P>
A special keyword may be associated with a function declaring it as
<I>critical</I>. SDCC will generate code to disable all interrupts
upon entry to a critical function and enable them back before returning.
Note that nesting critical functions may cause unpredictable results.

<TT>... </TT>&nbsp;

<BR>
<TT>}</TT>&nbsp;

The critical attribute maybe used with other attributes like <I>reentrant.</I>
