Export a symbol and mark it as an interruptor. This may be used together
with the linker to build a table of interruptor subroutines that are called
in an interrupt.
Note: The linker has a feature to build a table of marked routines, but it
is your code that must call these routines, so just declaring a symbol as
interruptor does nothing by itself.
An interruptor is always exported as an absolute (16 bit) symbol. You don't
need to use an additional <tt/.export/ statement, this is implied by
<tt/.interruptor/. It may have an optional priority that is separated by a
comma. Higher numeric values mean a higher priority. If no priority is
given, the default priority of 7 is used. Be careful when assigning
priorities to your own module constructors so they won't interfere with the
ones in the cc65 library.
Example:
<tscreen><verb>
.interruptor IrqHandler
.interruptor Handler, 16
