RptDtct RptDtct RptDtct RptDtct RptDtct
RptDtct1 RptDtct1 RptDtct1 RptDtct1 RptDtct1
RptDtct2 RptDtct1 RptDtct1 RS-4
RptDtct3 RptDtct1 RS-2
Note: The following labels are used here.
RptDtct: Repeat detection instruction address
RptDtct1: An instruction address one instruction following the repeat detection instruction
RptDtct2: An instruction address two instruction following the repeat detection instruction
RptDtct3: An instruction address three instruction following the repeat detection instruction
RS: Repeat start instruction address
If a re-execution type exception is accepted at an instruction in the hatched areas above, a
return address to be saved in the SPC is incorrect. If SR.RC[11:0] is 1 or 0, a correct return
address is saved in the SPC.
Illegal Instruction Exception in Repeat Control Period: If one of the following instructions is
executed at the address following RptDtct1, a general illegal instruction exception occurs. For
details on an address to be saved in the SPC, refer to SPC Saved by an Exception in Repeat
