The original idea I posted is less about sending a signal to another
processor.
It is more about how to break out of an instruction sequence.
Example of problem:
Main:
while Condition1 do
begin
while Condition2 do
begin
while Condition3 do
begin
Routine1
end
end;
end;
I do hope this is the result of over simplification for the example, as
otherwise I'd turn it into
while C1 and C2 and C3:
R1

Not that this means that all rest of what Skyhawk posted makes any
sense at all. I've spent a lot of time programming on "bare metal",
in assembly, Pascal, PL/M, and C (including using coroutines and
various other "multi-thread" constructs with no OS support), and I
really don't see the utility of his initial suggestion.

Great that means you will understand the example below:
mov eax, 0
add eax, 10
mul eax, 4
There is an instruction sequence for you.
This instruction sequence is too long believe it or not.
The mission is to make the CPU break out of instruction 2 and execute
something else.
How would you do it ?
Bye,
Skybuck.
