VECACT
Interrupt Pending Vector Number
This field contains the active exception number. The exception numbers can be found in the
description for the VECPEND field. If this field is clear, the processor is in Thread mode. This field
contains the same value as the ISRNUM field in the IPSR register.
Subtract 16 from this value to obtain the IRQ number required to index into the Interrupt Set Enable
(ENn), Interrupt Clear Enable (DISn), Interrupt Set Pending (PENDn), Interrupt Clear Pending
(UNPENDn), and Interrupt Priority (PRIn) registers (see the
Cortex-M3 Processor
chapter)
