21.4.4 Interrupt servicing during division instruction
The RL78/F13 and RL78/F14 handle interrupts during the DIVHU/DIVWU instruction in order to enhance the interrupt
response when a division instruction is executed.
 When an interrupt is generated while the DIVHU/DIVWU instruction is executed, the instruction is suspended
 After the instruction is suspended, the PC indicates the next instruction after DIVHU/DIVWU
 An interrupt is generated by the next instruction
 PC-3 is saved in the stack memory to execute the DIVHU/DIVWU instruction again

Caution Disable interrupts when executing the DIVHU or DIVWU instruction in an interrupt servicing routine.
Alternatively, unless they are executed in the RAM area, note that execution of a DIVHU or DIVWU
instruction is possible even with interrupts enabled as long as a NOP instruction is added immediately
after the DIVHU or DIVWU instruction in the assembly language source code. The following compilers
automatically add a NOP instruction immediately after any DIVHU or DIVWU instruction output during
the build process.
- V. 1.71 and later versions of the CA78K0R (Renesas Electronics compiler), for both C and
assembly language source code
- Service pack 1.40.6 and later versions of the EWRL78 (IAR compiler), for C language source code
- GNURL78 (KPIT compiler), for C language source code
The AX, BC, DE, and HL registers are used for DIVHU/DIVWU. For the interrupt processing, save these registers in the
stack memory.
