Forum Post: What is the purpose of Timer32 INTC (composite/combined interrupt)

I understand how the Timer32 interrupts on the MSP432P401R work in detail. What exactly is the purpose of the T32_INTC interrupt? What would one EVER use it for? The only thing I can think of is to save code space if the handlers for Timer32_1 and Timer32_2 are substancially the same. But why would one ever do that? One would just do everything off a single interrupt. There is no advantage to having two interrupts do the same thing. If the handlers do substansially different things then one would never combine the interrupt via INTC. Could someone ask the designer of the Timer32 subsystem about why they added INTC? I'm wondering what they were thinking in case I'm just not seeing the reasoning. Overall though an outstanding implementation. Really nice part and I've been around and was trained as a computer architect. thanks
