MSP430: Processing of multiple simultaneously occuring external interrupts

Problem:
Can the MSP430 process multiple interrupts simultaneously 
within a port group, P1.0 to P1.7 or P2.0 to P2.7 for example, 
without missing an interrupt signal? There seems to be only one 
multiple source interrupt flag that is seen by the CPU for each 
of these ports.


Solution:
Yes, as long as the minimum required interrupt event pulse width 
is assured, the MSP430 will never miss an interrupt. These multiple 
source interrupt flags remain set even if the interrupt request has 
been accepted and serviced, so each flag that was serviced must be 
reset within its corresponding interrupt service routine. This 
causes the remaining pending interrupts to be recognized by the CPU.
