device drivers with a way of binding ISRs to interrupt sources, and unbinding

ISRs from interrupt sources. The implementation of these functions follows

a standard pattern that can be re-used in most cases. </p>

<p>The implementation can be different if there is a single Variant DLL, or

if there is also an ASSP extension. </p>

is replaced with the provided ISR. The implementation prevents an ISR from

being bound to an interrupt source that is already bound, by assuming that

</codeblock> <p>The device specific implementation of <codeph>VariantBind()</codeph> would

follow the same general pattern as for the <codeph>Interrupt::Bind()</codeph> function

in the ASSP layer. The main difference is that the code refers to the device

specific ISR table, <codeph>VariantHandlers[]</codeph>, defined within the

device specific layer, and the interrupt ID is converted to a positive number

so that it can be used as an index into this table: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-547FA8BB-F5BB-56A4-AC8F-7FCA07C7BD9A" xml:space="preserve">SInterruptHandler VariantHandlers[KNumVariantInts];</codeblock> <codeblock id="GUID-7D86B6BA-6FED-52F7-9DB8-4EF21A734CE1" xml:space="preserve">EXPORT_C TInt TMyVariant::VariantBind(TInt aId, TIsr aIsr, TAny* aPtr)

since this is really a chained interrupt, the dispatch function can be packaged

as an ISR and bound to the core interrupt source it chains from. See <xref href="GUID-8B8CAEED-A89D-53B3-A311-51CF45B334B1.dita">IRQ and FIQ Dispatchers</xref> in
