Not exactly "break", but interrupt it. (If such interrupt was enabled)
The interrupt handler is the code related to the corresponding hardware
vector interrupt. By it�s nature, it�s "triggered by the hardware" so it has
higher priority than the rest of the code, like a built in function.

| Does it have problems if the interrupt handler modifies data that were used in the code that was running? or it has a protection to this not happen? |

This can be a problem. For example when incrementing a 16 bit number and the lower byte rolls over the upper byte should be incremented. If in interupt occurs between these two operations you could have the sort of problem you discribe. The compiler can not protect aginst this. This requires carefull coding. |
