PIC18 interrupt handler, where to save W etc?

Your responses are very helpful and greatly appreciated. It's pretty incredible to get this quality of help.

I can think of a couple scenarios where it might come in handy to use only low priority interrupts.

A. If you need the first few code locations for initialization code that would exceed location 0x08, it would be nice to recover this space by forcing all interrupts to vector to 0x18 after initialization.

B. If you need just a few more words code space, this would free up room between the high/low vectors. GOTO somewhere at 0x00 with GOTO or BRA at 0x08 leaves several words of code space unused between the reset vector & low pri vector.

For B of course you could just make everything high priority, bump it up to 0x08, but you still have a few words not used from reset to 0x08.

So I guess in some extreme cases it might be nice to have the option.

Excellent!

I knew I was talking to the right guy.

Reason A. is a perfectly "Valid" need to have only Low Priority Interrupts.
Albeit, an infrequent need.

I will now attempt to add it to the update.

Way to go Bruce!

All the back and forth with bruce, I forgot to say ...

ImAnEE,

I'm glad it helps, interrupts can be very confusing.
I've tried to reduce the confusion with DT_INTS, but am still working on it.
If you're short on time, it's probably the Quickest way though.

Fortunately for me, there's more and more people answering DT_INTS questions around here.
So dive in, helps not far away.

Best regards,
