I am working on a porting project from VAX to Alpha. I am generating an exception on a divide by zero trap. I am not a macro expert, some pointers to a solution or examples of an exception handler would be of great help to me. Thanks Mick

You'll need a lot more help - exception handling is much more complicated on Alpha than it is on VAX. In order to have any luck at all, you must compile with /SYNCHRONOUS_EXCEPTIONS so that the compiler maintains "trap shadows". What problem is your handler trying to solve? Steve | |||||

I got it sorted.
I wrote an exception handler to handle arithmetic exceptions for the
movd instruction and everything works out as it should.
Thanks
Mick
