Servicing the hardware
QNX SDP8.0Programmer's GuideDeveloper
The above discussion may lead you to the conclusion that
level-sensitive is good; edge-triggered is
bad.
However, another issue comes into
play.
In an edge-triggered environment, there's no such requirement, because the interrupt won't be noticed again until it transits from clear to asserted.
Note:
Since the range of hardware attached to an interrupt source can be very diverse, the specific
how-to's of servicing the interrupt are beyond the scope of this document—this really
depends on what your hardware requires you to do.
