Actually, no. It has an explicit construct for catching interrupts by 
invoking a routine. (The routine would be in what Java calls a 
synchronized class.)  You specify the priority of the interrupt, and 
which interrupt it is, and all that.  I am not sure you can actually say 
what registers wind up in which arguments within the language, granted. :-)

Yeah, but that's still not actually C. That just happens to be knowing 
what your particular C compiler outputs for a program that has no 
semantics in C. It's really not C any more than inline assembler is. :-)

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
