how to generate software interrupt by some method other than using assembly instruction

1.2k views Asked by At

Can someone please let me know if there is any other way of generating software interrupts other than using the assembly instruction for interrupt provided by the processor instruction set ? For eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INT_%28x86_instruction%29 states that

INT X

can be used for generating software interrupt. I would like to know if there is any other way of generating software interrupts that is used in practice (say if the processor instruction set doesn't have any such instruction) ? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
