ABSTRACT:
A microcomputer for checking a flag in a flag circuit to determine whether or not to decrement a count of a program counter. If the flag indicates execution of a STOP instruction, the program counter value is decremented so that the address of a destination to return to at the end of debug interrupt handling is replaced by the address of the STOP instruction. If the flag gives any other indication, the program counter value is used unchanged as the return destination address that will be in effect at the end of debug interrupt handling.
