## An example of interrupt handler written with Haskell

<https://github.com/ajhc/demo-cortex-m3/tree/master/stm32f3-discovery>

The demo for Cortex-M4 has main context and intrrupt context.
The main context waits time expire with polling counter.
<https://github.com/ajhc/demo-cortex-m3/blob/master/stm32f3-discovery/hs_src/Intr.hs#L17>

The interrupt context is called from clock exception, and decrement counter.
<https://github.com/ajhc/demo-cortex-m3/blob/master/stm32f3-discovery/hs_src/Intr.hs#L9>

## Other changes

* Guard StablePtr critical section.
* Add _JHC_JGC_SAVING_MALLOC_HEAP option for getting smaller malloc heap.
* Link forkIO to forkOS.

Enjoy! :)
