Working on my IDT, haven't written any ISRs though.
How does my code look? I want to make sure I'm doing this right.
idt.h:
https://github.com/beauhefley/beauos/bl ... upts/idt.h
idt.c:
https://github.com/beauhefley/beauos/bl ... upts/idt.c
Of course I do not have loadIdt() set up yet.

It's not terribly bad, however, there are 2 things I would like to mention:
1. Your IDT base high value on line 14 is this: However, it should really be this: 2. The "gateType" data type will cause you some level of headaches when you implement user mode and rings.
Personally, I recommend you leave it as "uint8_t flags", and then set the idt[entry].attributes to flags. This way, when time comes for you to implement user mode, you can set the value idt[entry].attributes to flags | 0x60.
I dunno, just some opinions.

Code: Select all

idt[entry].hOffset = functionPointer >> 16;

However, it should really be this:

Code: Select all

idt[entry].hOffset = (functionPointer >> 16) & 0xFFFF;

This one is fine as it was, the & 0xFFFF is redundant and not required as the hOffset is uint16_t
line 13:Here, the & 0xFFFF is also redundant and not required as the lOffset is also uint16_t

Welp, looks very organized, it's easy to read, let's forget about more than a half of code being non-present at now because, as you previously stated, it's still WIP. Look at the issues previous poster mentioned though.

You do realize this is a two month old thread, right?

I don't have a problem with replying to old posts but the OP _might_ not be waiting this long =)

Didn't notice it, LOL.
