Article mixes general concept with x86 details
[edit]The article mixes the general concept heavily with the concrete implementation on x86. This should be cleaned up and the latter linked to relevant pages (EFLAGS etc). Boelthorn (talk) 13:33, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- I've removed the how-to stuff, as per WP:NOTHOWTO. It still mentions the 8086; I'll preceded that with a mention of the PDP-11, which had a trap bit in the PSW before the 8086 was even a glimmer in Intel's eye. Guy Harris (talk) 20:04, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
- I've removed all mention of the 8086; it now cites a PDP-11 manual in addition to the x86 manual it was already citing. Guy Harris (talk) 20:19, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
Code wrong
[edit]The article mentions the 8086, then shows code using the PUSHA/POPA instructions, which weren't available in a 8086... Jalwikip (talk) 12:52, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
Also when interrupt was called, stack is (... , flags , ret), not (... , ret , flags). FeelUs (talk) 11:32, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- The code has been removed, as per WP:NOTHOWTO. Guy Harris (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
