Then old value of systemstack pointer will be returned, so you can (and have) to reset this system stack pointer. The call toggles you between super and user mode. /***********************************************/ MODULE TEST; (* Demo: how to use this all *) FROM SYSTEM IMPORT ADDRESS; FROM CPUMode IMPORT Mode; VAR savedssp,dummy : ADDRESS; BEGIN /* now doing user mode actions */ savedssp := Mode(0); /* now super mode, using user stack as system stack */ /* do here the super things */ dummy := Mode(savedssp); /* now back in user mode, stack ok. */ END TEST. /************************************************/ *) END CPUMode.
