TIL: The instruction after SEI can be executed before a pending IRQ is handled

As described here: http://visual6502.org/wiki/index.php?title=6502_Timing_of_Inter..

I never knew this, after all those years, and thought i'd share this as a heads-up.

Thanks to Bubis for pointing it out to me!

No, they're still masked by a zero value in $d01a. Hmm, I wonder if the soft reset before the ready prompt clears it... Just checked, and afaict, nope.

" if run from basic "
and what about if it's not? Why even assuming it? It's not better to be safe and put ALSO sei/cli, and clearing $D019 too in any case?

Clearing $d019 is necessary, and testing a bit more it seems like it's necessary even on a freshly reset machine. SEI/CLI is still useless though, and only creates the problem of having to clear $dc0d.

Then you either know about the calling context and set things up accordingly, OR you know nothing, in which case initial setup is the responsibility of the caller.

For reference, here's a bog standard raster IRQ setup that'll work every time if run from basic.


…and if you also zero $d01a at the start of the routine, it should then behave itself if your predecessor left a raster interrupt installed :)

You wouldn't even be able to load stuff from disk with a raster IRQ running, so I don't think it's necessary for account for that.

You can load fine from disk using KERNAL routines, with a raster IRQ running. You just need to do it right. And it loads even slower, of course. :)

It's also possible to press restore while running, and to use SD2IEC. If you set yourself up for failure, don't be surprised when you fail :)

relying on things that are not under your control is usually a bad idea. (machine is in an after reset state). this is much more of a cargo cult, than using SEI/CLI.
