ARM Cortex interrupt handlers can be programmed completely in C, but programmers coding time-critical applications prefer to use assembler (some programmers claim, rather ambitiously, that their hand-crafted assembler programs run up to 30-times faster than compiler generated code, but I suspect that the actual figure is 2-3 times).
When an interrupt (also known as an exception) occurs, the processor responds by performing the following actions:
R0-R3, R12, link register (LR), program counter (PC), and program status (PSR) onto the stackRead now
