Thanks Greg for your reply. I just want to know if the ISR lowered the interrupt atleast once after entering the ISR. I want to find this out without reading the device's register. I realize the problem that there still may be a pending interrupt when I do this check which can cause some problems. I have a custom device which does not respond properly, if there is an interface for this it would help me grately since I have no control to change the device.
