Re: protected type interrupts

It's not my assumption. It IS being executing by the handler, and the compiler vender says the LRM allows them to do so. References to LRM given here show they are correct. My assumption (that was proven incorrect) was that it should been executed by the task that called it. The standard states that this cannot be relied upon (which explains why you cannot call "current_task" from an entry).

No. It may be executed by the same thread of control that executed the interrupt handler, but that is not the same thing as executing it from the protected procedure that is the interrupt handler. The ARM does not allow the latter.
