Interrupt handling is performed by the operating system kernel. In the Intel IA-32 platform, for instance, it is handled at Ring-Zero.

C++ code does not normally run in the kernel. It runs in user space, such as in Ring-Three. Unless the operating system allows you to load C++ code in non pageable Ring-Zero space, you cannot write C++ programs to handle interrupts. Even if you could do so, all of the dependencies, such as libraries, would need to also be there, unless you wrote dispatch stubs to transition into and out of Ring-Zero non-pageable space.

That said, you are looking for the Device Driver Kit, or DDK. (In the Windows platform.)

What is the use of interrupt vector?

An interrupt vector is the memory address of an interrupt handler, or an index into an array called an interrupt vector table or dispatch table. Interrupt vector tables contain the memory addresses of interrupt handlers. When an interrupt is generated, the processor saves its execution state via a context switch, and begins execution of the interrupt handler at the interrupt vector.

Where is interrupt handler and interrupt vector?

In the 8086/8088, the interrupt vector table is the first 1024 bytes of memory. In the 8085, the interrupt vector table is the first 64 bytes of memory if using the RST form of interrupt, otherwise the interrupt vector is provided by the interrupting device, usually in the form of a CALL instruction. The interrupt handler is wherever the interrupt vector points to.

What is vector and non vector interrupts?

What is nested interrupt?

I believe a nested interrupt, is where an interrupt is allowed to occur (and thus is handled) during an already occurring Interupt service ruotine. I.E. First interrupt occurs ISR1 begins second Interrupt occurs ISR2 begins ISR2 Finishes ISR1 continues from where left off ISR1 finishes
