Section 9 Exception Handling

CPU Address Error in Repeat Control Period: If a CPU address error occurs in the repeat
control period, the exception is accepted but an exception code (H'070) indicating the repeat loop
period is specified in the EXPEVT. If a CPU address error occurs in instructions following a
repeat detection instruction to repeat end instruction, an exception code for instruction access or
data access is specified in the EXPEVT.
The SPC is saved according to the SPC Saved by an Exception in Repeat Control Period
description in section 9.4.2, Exception in Repeat Control Period.
After the CPU address error exception processing, the repeat control cannot be returned correctly.
To execute a repeat loop correctly, care must be taken not to generate a CPU address error in the
repeat control period.
Note: In a repeat loop consisting of one to three instructions, some restrictions apply to repeat
detection instructions and all the remaining instructions. In a repeat loop consisting of four
or more instructions, restrictions apply to only the three instructions that include a repeat
end instruction. The restriction occurs when SR.RC[11:0] ≥ 1.
