# IRQ – Utilities for writing Interrupt Handlers
[](https://crates.io/crates/irq)
[](https://docs.rs/irq/)
[](https://travis-ci.org/jonas-schievink/irq)
This crate provides utilities for handling interrupts on embedded devices.
Please refer to the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md) to see what changed in the last
releases.
## Features
* Dynamically and atomically registered, zero-allocation interrupt handlers.
* Allows moving data into interrupt handlers, and sharing data between handlers.
* Completely platform agnostic, does not require atomic swap operations (works
on eg. thumbv6 targets).
## Usage
Add an entry to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
irq = "0.2.1"
```
Check the [API Documentation](https://docs.rs/irq/) for how to use the
crate's functionality. A small example showcasing the Scoped Interrupts API is
provided below:
```rust
use irq::{scoped_interrupts, handler, scope};
use mock_pac::interrupt;
// Hook `INT0` and `INT1` using the `#[interrupt]` attribute imported above.
scoped_interrupts! {
enum Interrupt {
INT0,
INT1,
}
use #[interrupt];
}
fn main() {
// Define data to be used (via move or borrow) by the interrupt handlers.
let mut i = 0;
let shared = [0, 1, 2];
// Define handlers using the `handler!` macro.
handler!(int0 = || i += shared[1]);
handler!(int1 = || println!("{}", shared[2]));
// Create a scope and register the handlers.
scope(|scope| {
scope.register(Interrupt::INT0, int0);
scope.register(Interrupt::INT1, int1);
// The interrupts stay registered for the duration of this closure.
// This is a good place for the application's idle loop.
});
}
```
## Rust version support
This crate targets stable Rust. No guarantees are made beyond that, so the
minimum supported version might be bumped as needed.
The MSRV is also explicitly tested against in [.travis.yml](.travis.yml).
